  1. Texas, nothing Prayer & Leeches can't cure.
  2. Biden created the Ukraine invasion? Biden created the Hamas attack? Of course not but a whole segment of the populace like to parrot bull excrement these days. The last war that US soldiers were in, and still involved in today, was Jr Bush's WMD Iraqi adventure trip. Something MAGA conservatives have serious amnesia about. Just Deal with it Thingamabob, you'll be OK.
  3. And that is the truth, but you notice how the Thai media always fails to mention that fact.
  4. Creating peace by letting Putin control the Ukraine? or assimilate it? With the idea that he and his successors will be satisfied with that & peace and hosannas will break forth 😃. That is about as effing dumb as old Neville Chamberlains "peace in our time" . Putin & cronies have stated what they want for twenty years ... A New/Old state of Soviet dimensions. Letting China have Taiwan is Trumps next step. Problem is after a new trade agreement, giving up Taiwan, the Chinese can toss that agreement out the window & what you going to do? The idea that someone with a basic 7thgrade education, functionally illiterate, notoriously vain, vindictive and greedy/easily bribed, is going to remake the US alliances should scare the bejeesus out of everyone let alone the US. Amazing how many saps have bought into it. I Of course underestimate just how dumbed down the United States has become in the last couple decades. As my neighbor says, 'what could possibly go wrong' This is going to end badly.
  5. I agree one thousand per cent and I call it the china virus as well ..oh oh you're so racist ..so what about Spanish flu, German Measles, Japanese Encephelitis, etc....the woke world is a joke world .. You guys got woke on the brain, so much so you don't see what is right in front of you. I used to use the term ... W----- Flu .... on a number of my posts here. Until the powers that be, deleted it, like it was a curse word. ever since I had to be careful ... say 'the flu that originated in Wuhan'. That so tender sensibilities here on AN are not offended and outraged. Miss that did you. now have fun chasing that WOKE bogeyman.
  6. I have to disagree. Trump will win the trade war with China. Right wing MAGA heads will morph into a howling frenzy, even more so than they are now, if possible. They will be go fricking nuts. Woohoo! One detail. In the restructured trade agreement, the US will acknowledge Taiwan is part of China and agree to cut military sales and support of. Likely something similar to a Ukraine peace treaty. At a later date the Chinese can just go back on it all, damage done no matter how it plays out. This could come quickly as both Xi & Putin realize they cannot wait. Strike when the iron is hot, when you have someone as credulous, vain & ignorant as Donald Trump, you cannot waste it. No two terms now, this is it. Who knows he might choke on a big Mac while watching Hannity/FOX, blam bucket kicked. This rare moment must be seized and exploited.
  7. Thailand: Bangkok to Petchaboon 1943 A forgotten historical footnote. Pibul got worried when the allies attacked Italy. He decided he wanted an inland capital and one more difficult to attack. He imported a bunch of Ban Nak issan workers who quickly succumbed to malaria 🫤. When the war was over, told the allies, he was actually concerned that (his ally), Japan, might decide to occupy Thailand in force, like they finally did with French Indochina in 45. Heh. Whatever his defects, the man had a golden tongue. Pibul - A man with the rare ability to see 'wrong as right', according to a famous Thai mah do.
  8. This is the best BS you can sling against a wall?! Try again tomorrow.
  9. Are you expecting too much? Yeah, sure you are. Amazon has been like that, for a long time. Only thing in their favor is they are at PTT stations. Hit the can, the 7, pick up latte, back on the road, bad coffee though. Lots of Thai companies are the same. Wawee coffee was/is notorious for dixie cup lattes. Puke. I refuse to drink there. As for small shops, mom & Pop small stores. Many of those just cannot throw out stale coffee. Thai economics. Which brings us back to Starbucks. It’s fashionable to sneer and sheep need to do that, they need to run with a flock, Still while expensive, you actually get a real cup. I was going to say coffee but make it an espresso beverage. Thai Bev, the company that runs Starbucks Thailand, has/had a policy for stores NOT to brew up “coffee”, just sell expresso, as too few Thais drink it. If you brew a tank you have to throw it out after an hour. Again Thai economics, can’t do that. Yes, a few Starbucks stores did and do brew up regular coffee but they’re in high volume tourist/expat areas. Not that there is anything wrong with that ... with espresso drinks, although, yes, they do seem a bit too swish. Hopefully that is changing now as brewed coffee is becoming trendy in Thailand. I do drink occasionally at Hillkoff 'training' cafe, Mahidol store in CM, but its a one off shop. Quiet, they are happy to have you there. None of the neo hipster bearded digital gonad types, comparing tattoos. In CM that is a blessing.
  10. Falcon Sterilized Recombined Flavored Milk Falcon Sterilised Recombined Flavoured Milk. 'Original formula of recombined milk developed to become the fitting combination of Thai-style tea, coffee and other well loved beverages with deliciousness, lightness, creaminess and smooth texture without masking other flavours.'
  11. You wonder if she spoke out against the war with the Ukraine. Or did not support the current regime? That could get her in real trouble and Russia's allies would not be lenient with her. Whoever those allies might be.
  12. For sure, Putin has Donald in his back pocket, unlike sleepy joe who busted his chops. Take your pick as to the real reason Donald will turn turtle and do some boot licking. A) Russian oligarchs tied to Prince Vlad, Investing in his golf courses, resorts, starting decades back. B) The promise of hotels, golf courses & resorts in Russia. Donald cannot resist the money. Selling T shoes & bibles ... here's some real juice, not chump change from credulous mooks. That After a successful conclusion of a war Vlad initiated, but pooch screwed, thanks a good deal to sleepy Joe. C) Providing the hacked info to Wiki leaks & Julian Aussie Assange, from Hillary, critical to putting Donald over the top in 2016. D) Donald was indeed honey trapped all along. A person with as little self control as Donald Trump, would have been easy target for ex KGB/Stassi agent Vladimir Putin. However given how bad the Russian military was mauled, and remains a basket case, I believe Prince Vlad will want more than a good settlement, with Ukraine at his mercy. He will want a stake in the heart of NATO also. Getting in a altercation with a NATO member, like Denmark might be the lever needed to dismember NATO. Likely that was what Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump were talking about in those 7 phone conversations they had in the last year. Republicans have used 'commie this and commie that' for a hundred years now. Many say their support of and aid to Joe McCarthy in the 50's was not about communism but about dismembering as much of Roosevelts New Deal as they could. It was always a scam. Still, It will be amazing watching their president get bent over and pounded, willingly, by commie Vlad. To the collective cheers of all those Republican hypocrites. Some will call it treason ... high treason.
  13. Cardboard box supply store - Chiang Mai Packaging supply store 27 Ban Pea Rd, Tha Sala Sub-district, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50000, Thailand +66 87 184 4018 Open Mon-Sat 9am-5pm If you use the title & chiang mai in google it will pull up a map. I could not attach the link for some reason. Inexpensive & you always find the boxes you want.
  14. Ontario will pull all American alcohol from its government run liquor stores on Tuesday.
  15. the previous administration told Putin to invade the Ukraine. The previous administration told Hamas to attack Israel. What bull excrement are you peddling today 🥱
  16. Another Ultra Monarchist rent a mob?!
  17. Canada & Mexico have ordered retaliatory sanctions. How long has Trump been in office .... Two weeks now.
  18. Any real info or the usual right wing hyperventilating lies?
  19. Greece 2019. They were plenty PO'd about the US, suddenly turning 180 degrees and allowing Kurdish allies against ISIS, to be attacked by Erdogan's Turkey. Thank you Donald Trump. The Greek people themselves were fine. It was the security, immigration arriving and leaving . Heavier still if you were crossing the land border, Istanbul to Thessalonica. All it took was a phone call from Erdogan and Trump was licking the bootheels of a ethno populist strongman. One which, it should be noted, had allowed, made money from ISIS oil shipments plus funneled Syrian/Iraqi refugees through Turkey to the EU. How this would play out with four years of a raging Trump administration is guesswork. Expats would be advised to have a plan B (and C). As years go by the once friendly locals might start throwing rocks.
  20. That in 2019. The DNA only confirmed the photo match made by the Thai family. British Police did came to Thailand to interview the suspect in 2023. He refused to talk. Two years later and here we are. Granted there has been a lot of late night car door slamming in Kirkby Overblow to police, still.
  21. Having a "liberal bias' is one thing, propaganda another. FOX by legal definition in the US is a media entity that gives 'opinions about the news'. That means they do not have to report anything if they do not want to. That is beside what opinions they hold. Opinions and lies can be the same thing.
  22. You get news from RT & FOX? Two media entities which are nothing more than a propaganda outlets
  23. Good way to fracture NATO Being that Donald Trump is not smart enough to understand that, by himself. Those five or was it seven(?) phone calls to Putin, during the Ukraine conflict, helped him with this idea.
  24. It has taken the Brit police twenty years to get off their collective flaccid bums and finally do something. Now, I have always been impressed by the Thai Police's laziness & general incompetence, but I doubt they can match The Yorkshire Plod .... in this case.
