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.

Some here assuming he is already guilty. Let the legal system take its course. If there is hard evidence, show it by all means.

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.

I for one thought Some Like it Hot was hilarious.

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?

Who else is bored of the whining left complaining about stories of Trump lying? By the end of his first term, Trump had accumulated 30,573 untruths during his presidency — averaging about 21 erroneous claims a day. https://docs.house.gov/meetings/FD/FD00/20240515/117301/HHRG-118-FD00-20240515-SD003.pdf FACT FOCUS: A Look at False and Misleading Claims Made by Trump During His First Week Back in Office https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2025-01-24/fact-focus-a-look-at-false-and-misleading-claims-made-by-trump-during-his-first-week-back-in-office He lies. So what? Does it matter that the leader of the free world lies? No one cares. Lie on Bone Spurs. No one cares.

Sister act. Boom-Boom.

Just read his speech. https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/18/vance-speech-munich-full-text-read-transcript-europe/

Some people blame the manufacturers for waste. But no one blames the manufacturers for car accidents.

I hope no one asks him the time. Everyone will get sidetracked.

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.

Usually, if Pakistan cannot make money from the airport, ownership will be taken by China, the creditor.

How do people talk about an agency they never worked in about corruption they can't prove without evidence?

Will Apple commit to hiring Americans thrown out of a job by President Musk?

I once read the diesel engines are clean if well maintained. I like diesel powered vehicles as they are cheap and easy to maintain. Royal Enfield Taurus Diesel Motorbike

I have noticed that more and more people are not reporting crime to the police as a first option because the response is less than stellar. Get it into social media first elicits a faster response.

He could take her to court for defamation. Seems to work here.

American politics is money politics, no matter which party. The missing part was the clear policies that voters find attractive. Like, "I will lower the price of groceries on day one."

They are just paintings, and they will live on. Changes in paintings is not something to get upset about. Churchill knew about the British treatment of Africans and Indians and felt proud. The so-called fuzzy wuzzies were trying to kill invaders.
