IMO after your little bout of electoral insanity, the rest of the world doesn't care much for America either. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Newton's Third Law of Physics. Trump is going to find out the law applies to tariffs too.

Easily fixed, pull out of the deal. There will probably be underwater drones costing a few thousand dollars to take them out by the time we get them anyway. The current US trade surplus with Australia is $14.4 billion. America has had a trade surplus with Australia for many years. That means if our government has the balls to respond with a 25% tariff on all American imports, it will hurt the USA worse than it hurts Australia. We can always buy aircraft from Airbus, and French submarines. Without Pine Gap, North West Cape, and Darwin, America loses half its surveillance capability. Trump is a bully. The only way to deal with bullies is a good smack in the mouth.

I asked you for a link. Obviously you don't have one. I've only flown over Russia once, Tokyo to Schiphol. I remember thinking if something goes wrong. help is a long way away, and it looked really cold.

Do you have a link for that, or is it just wishful thinking? Given the paranoia of the Russian government, I would not want to be on an aircraft in Russian airspace anyway. Perhaps you have forgotten MH17 and KAL007.

You are well acquainted with cops in various jurisdictions? Figures.

Whether you are wrong or right is immaterial. Unless an Immigration officer tells me I have to have a Thai tax number and/or tax return to obtain an extension of stay, I won't be going anywhere near a tax office. They will have to come to me. If they do, I have documented proof every baht transferred is from pre-2024 savings. IMO your best course of action is to try at another office. It's very likely different offices have different understanding of the legislation, several posters have been told they don't need a Thai tax number. OTOH, a friend in Khon Khaen is telling me the TRD is making life difficult, to the point he will exploit the 180 day rule.

In other words, you think when she writes a song about a guy, she has slept with them. An interesting leap of logic. Thanks for knocking back women on the basis of their political beliefs, it leaves more for us rational guys. AFAIK she has never paid a porn star to have sex, unlike someone else we both know.

You'd kick her out of bed?

What I find amusing in this thread is so many people who would rather be in bed with a stinky fat old man than a beautiful young woman. Figuratively speaking, of course. Now that is seriously perverted.

You see prices coming down in America?

Which is why anyone flying with a Russian airline is taking a bigger risk.

Now why would Trump lift the sanctions, when America is selling oil and LPG into Europe like never before? America is not the only country with sanctions on Russia. Wishful thinking.

A couple of your favorite phrases in your post, applied when you have nothing cogent in rebuttal. One of the features of propaganda is the use of emotionally loaded language.

Abstaining from alcohol is one of the boxes ticked by sociopaths. They know alcohol removes inhibitions, and want to conceal their true nature.

One day in the far-off future, you may actually have something which successfully rebuts what I post. Maybe they will come up with a medication to make you smarter. This week's award for lame responses goes to.......

There is no way of knowing what condition the aircraft was in, as Russia is cannibalizing Boeing and Airbus aircraft to keep flying. IIRC the Aeroflot fleet has shrunk from 700 passenger jets to 400.

IIRC it's called circular argument, or begging the question. It's drivel because he says so, without advancing any proof.

I am not involved in the argument you are having with another poster. However, if you insist with leading with your chin, don't expect people to pass up the opportunity.

It's difficult to explain to someone who thinks a word of three letters is too big.

He is also more damaging to the people who voted for him, they just don't have the wit to realize it. His tariff walls and deportations of low paid workers are going to drive up prices, that's a given. Prices are like viruses, they don't care who you voted for. When Trump gave Musk and his DOGE Musk rats free access to Treasury and other departments, he probably did not know or care what he was doing. Data is money to tech billionaires. Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos all thrive on it. It's how they got to be billionaires. The Musk rats are now mining one of the richest mother lodes of data on the planet, for free, courtesy of Trump. Treasury, Social Security, Defense - it's a treasure house. I feel sorry for Americans, and very pleased I am not one. They just don't realize what they have got themselves into.

Porridge has just as much carbohydrate as bread. The OP has to reduce his carbohydrate intake further. Beer is loaded with it. He should also avoid anything with sugar in it. If he still wants to drink alcohol, gin and tonic or whisky/rum with or without a zero sugar mixer. My diet consists of eating as much protein and cheese as I feel like. Fish, beef, chicken, pork, eggs. Yoghurt is OK. Low carbohydrate vegetables, such as cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage. Salad vegetables. Low sugar fruit, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. Bananas are high carb. My standard breakfast is poached eggs, or an omelet. Bacon occasionally. Coffee with stevia, a zero carb/calorie sugar substitute. For the doubters, I am normal BMI, having gone from 93 kg to 78 kg.

Guess how much it would have exported if Canada was not supplying 50%. Canadian crude is heavy, processed by Mid-western refineries. The shale oil crude produced in America is lighter fractions. Shale oil is a Red Queen's race, producers have to keep drilling. The average well life is 20 - 30 years, but production rates decline rapidly after 2-3 years. Hence the drill baby drill slogan.

Manned by you?

A copy and paste from when Bob Smith went on the wagon. I recommend a month's worth of Clozapine.

SCOTUS is irretrievably corrupted by Trump stacking it with conservative judges in his last term. The overturning of Roe vs Wade plus the ruling on Presidential immunity destroyed its credibility.
