America entered a long war in Vietnam because it feared the domino effect of Asia becoming Communist. Thailand was its red line.
Now, the west sees that Russia wants to own its former East European colonies and America wants to appease Russia. Ukraine was the red line, now it's like a buffet of eat all you can.
I worry that we are underestimating Russia.
When I first came to Thailand, the Communist insurgency caused people to worry about going into the countryside. Tourists were worried about going into rural areas.
That insurgency was paid for by the Chinese. Now it's a tourism insurgency that doesn't benefit Thai people as much as the TAT seems to think.
I don't think the Democratic Party wants to have everlasting wars, but they see the point of having the Ukraine as a buffer to curb Russia's expansionism. Should Putin not be deterred, he becomes a serious threat to Europe. As the US and EU have the largest bilateral trade and investment relationship in the world, the US economy would be negatively impacted.
At that age, the Science Museum's children's section is still fun. The Natural History Museum has animatronic dinosaurs these days.
I also enjoyed the London Dungeon, below Waterloo Station.
Where to keep saving safely when the government is determined to create more debtors?
Banks interest so low it is no longer a place to keep money.
Stock Exchange still poor.
Funny that the FBI is corrupt but not the NY Police department.
The New York City Police Department (NYPD) experienced corruption scandals in the 1990s, including the Dirty Thirty and the conviction of Harry Gross.
Which part? That he accused European leaders of suppressing free speech?
Or that he said, "In Britain, and across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat."?
Did you actually read the speech or watch the video?

There are Khmer temples all along the border. The border issues happened because Thailand never used to draw maps while the former French colonists did, making arguments of who is right rather one sided.
