The new Tsar in the Kremlin knows all about the youth in the West and their priorities. To defend the property of the 5% of the rich is not very high on their agenda. The only coutry in Europe that can still motivate their youth for "a fatherlandish" war is Russia. PS: As the west has sent the most part of our military hardware to the Ukraine, it will be hard to convince the youth of the west to conduct any defensive warfare, equipped with slingshots and wooden clubs.

Birth is the enemy of us all. Followed by certain death.

Have you been like this since childhood? Your entire life before? Or has it set in since you live in Thailand? Your answer to this is crucial. Please respond.

I know the song. But would not explain why JT should have lost his "connection" to this forum.

It's about you GG. JT doesn't post here much anymore. He must have found greener posting pastures.

There was a time when the call went out: MAKE "ASEAN NOW" GREAT AGAIN. GG heard the call and responded with tireless vigor. A day without posts from GG is a day without sunshine. I await GG's posts on the edge of my seat daily. I have to be tied down to my seat with a solid rope, as without it, I tend to fall off my seat, due to over-exitement.

As I wrote in another sub-forum here: Secutity interests? This coming from a guy that is contemplating exiting NATO? The same guy calling global warming a HOAX, but he has realised that the Greenland ice is melting. Below the ice, there are incredible amounts of raw materials of all sorts. To him, it's just another business deal: Secure those raw materials for the US.

On and off about 22 years. Wordwide I found so far 72 linguistic individual descripions concerning "a large penis". How would you approach a Thai-Lady, alerting her that you are an "oversized individual"? Before/after. Spill your guts!

Has that concept also worked in your home country before?

When I noticed that a new sub-forum "off the beaten track" came into being here, I knew what's coming. A platform for "deniers", refusing to accept scientific facts. Possibly the OP has spent 2 hours to find that climate change is a hoax in the internet, would he have spent the same 2 hours in the internet, looking at undisputable scientific evidence, he could have found a thousand scientific studies, that prove that muman made global warming is not a Hoax. What's next here? The earth is flat? All vaccinations that have saved millions of lives are "devils work"? Just because the authors of such things have never bothered to make the attempt to understand DNA/RNA or other indisputable scientific facts? As I see it, every moron on this globe has now found an open door here. Next: Donald makes the sun rise in the east and set in the west. Followed by 10 pages of "approving comments" here. Heaven help us.

When in Thailand, I don't need to "flaunt" my wealth. It is sufficient to present my immaculate muscular alabaster body to the locals, causing immediate admiration by everyone. That has nothing to do with the fact that my crutches are made of pure Gold.

Good, that most posters live in Thailand, where one can "flaunt" wealth. Go to some central american countries, without body guards, you will be abducted in no time at all. For non-celebrities the ransom is usually around 1000$. Peanuts, doesen't make the "western press". So, be careful, where you "flaunt" your wealth.

OR: Once the last drop of the midwestern "Oglala Aquifer" has been pumped up (no more agriculture), why not cover half of the midwest with solar panels? And: Everyone having his private small nuclear power plant in his front yard. Nuclear waist? No problem, just flush it down the toilet.

Already known, that AI will need tremendeous amonts of energy. Some big AI players wanting to build their own nuclear power plants !!!!!

Not familiar with TV text editor. TV = Televison or what else?

Yes Windows Computer. I just had a vision: All platforms of this world "communicate" with each other. A nightmare.

I type everything on "WordPad" first.

The "craftsmenship premium" in Thailand is very low. As opposed to bid/ask spreads for physical Gold in the rest of the world. Measured by OZ (30.1 grams). Therefore, "Thai Gold", even in form of jewellery can be an attractive investement. Only thing: Buying and selling must take place in Thailand. To sell "Thai-Gold" in Europe is an advenure in itself, to be advoided if ever possible.

My dear OP. Most Farangs that live outside of Tourist-Hubs live with their Thai Wifes/Thai Family. It may work out or it may not work out. I myself lived in the Thai-Sticks solo for 5 years. Learned basic Thai. But never was able to call any of my Thai neighbors as "friends". I remained a "stranger", especially as I showed no interest in any long-term relationship with a local beauty and her family. The internet was my friend. After 5 years, I decided to return to civilisation, fearing that I would end up in a mental istitution eventually. Rural Thailand is still not prepared to harbor "solo farangs", only wanting to live in peace, undisturbed by locals, them thinking that you must be "rich". The root of the problem. Therefore: Be careful what you ask for.

When I post here, I text it on "notebook" first. Then "copy and paste" in AN. Next day I receive a dozend of "ask for translations" in my SKYPE account. I never asked for any translation services. I block them, but "new translaters" re- emerge on my SKYPE account. What is going on? What is the connection between Notebook, ASEAN NOW and SKYPE?

On a weekly basis, some Russian officials threathening the West with nuclear warfare, with the result that a good part of "western politicians" are starting to shake in their boots. Propaganda at it's best. As opposed to some high ranking western politicians, Tsar Vladimir is not stupid. Him knowing well that a possible "nuclear response" would also turn large parts of Russia into a contaminated waistland for the next 1000 years. Under such circumstances, it would be hard "to make Russia great again". (his main objective). We can stop shaking in our boots as far as this is concerned. - Much easier for Tsar Vladimir to hack the european electric power grid. No doubt, state sponsored russian hackers are working on it as I write, while anti hacker western "defenders" are always one step behind them. With the power grid down, this will be a good time for Europeans to start shaking in our boots, as opposed to some re-ocurring propagandist nuclear threads, issued by some "minor" Russian officials.

How many diesel generators would an average "server" need to remain functional?

Surely, less western tourists visiting Russia. The chances of being arrested as a spy are slim (unless one posts on social media, calling Russia "the evil empire"). The chances of being abducted (for ransom) in "western countries" like Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador are higher than being arrested as a spy in Russia. Sufficient, you qualify as a "gringo". Not rich "gringos" get away with 1000$. Peanuts, not worth mentioning in the western press, but a daily occurence. Well understood: Such things happen in the so called "west", not in Russia.

Especially American Indians know all about it. Some say, that the "Western Empire" is also in the process of "falling". Especially if Donald can help it.
