UK Faces Countdown to Reject WHO’s Expanding Pandemic Powers
Before Brexit, people were told the EU was after the country's national sovereignty. Small things like crowns on beer glasses raised the ire of Brits who were told the EU controlled what you could put on glasses. After Brexit, it was suddenly revealed that the crowns were allowed all along. The Tories really messed with people's minds. Now here comes Suella to frighten people again.

Thailand Declines US Loan Deal for F-16 Jets Over Tough Terms
It makes sense to rely less on the U.S. for military equipment and perhaps turn to other competent, less expensive, sources. Better still, improve maintenance on what you have and spend the money on improving the economy at home.

A modest proposal for an addition to the member profile information.
Tattoos are for life. If you have ever seen an 80-year-old covered in tattoos you will know how ugly they look as they fade. I know someone who tattooed his girlfriend's name on his arm. Later, they separated, and he found another girl he would later marry. In those days there was no tattoo removal, so he had someone cover it with a tattoo of a bird. Whoopsie. Then there is God. Leviticus 19:28 in the Old Testament states, "You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord."

Red Bull Heir at Centre as High-Profile Corruption Verdict Looms
If the two are found guilty, and do flee the country, I would expect a red notice to be issued because, whereas Boss was not found guilty, they will have been.

White House Revamps COVID-19 Website to Promote Lab Leak Theory
Could you provide a link stating that Fauci worked for the military please? I read he worked for the NIH, which is not a military organization. The NIH is an agency of the Public Health Service of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Also, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is not a military organization. I understand it was founded in the Marine Hospital but is actually part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Just curious where you read this.

Why haven't you learned Thai even after several years as an expat in Thailand?
I found that learning Thai from a book doesn't help tonally but context allows Thais to understand. I used The Fundamentals of Thai Language (The Fundamentals of the Thai Language (Fifth Edition): Stuart Campbell, Chuan Shaweevongs: Amazon.com: Books) which is rather old now. I still don't get the tones right but people understand me.

An Enormous Usurpation’: Inside the Case Against Trump’s Tariffs
The more I read the more I think there are people who don't understand why trade deficits exist. A trade deficit is when we buy more (if we are in a rich, developed country) because we are richer than a country that is... not as rich. Also, having a larger population, of course this requires greater volume of purchases. The less rich country doesn't buy the same amount from the richer developed country because it is relatively poorer. The less rich country is not ripping off the richer country: it simply cannot afford to buy an equal amount. In simple terms, the USA buys $100 of goods from a less rich country because it has that $100 to spend. A less rich country may only have $25 to spend, so it just cannot afford to buy $100 worth of goods. It's not rocket science.

There is no hint she wants all his assets or even his imprisonment. The law is the law, and she may want to show that you can't go around kicking Thais like dogs any time you feel like it.

Good Thing Trump Isn't Basing His Actions on Flagrantly False Numbers...oh wait a minute...
Weird sense of deja vu. The OP gives facts and numbers followed by a load of personal attacks with no facts or number (or links). Quality.

Trump’s Tariffs: A Chaotic Dream within a Lost Era
Just reading that the average price for a gallon of gas/petrol has declined 0.524USD. This will make American drivers rejoice that Donnie has achieved what no one else could. 3.155 USD a gallon is going to make people happy.

Chinese Boeing plane returned to US
The only way that America can compete with China is to lower US wages to 25% of what they are today. That way they can bring back the iPhone and other items that they make abroad today.
