  1. The following Nato countries already have borders with Russia Norway, Finland,Estonia,Latvia,Lithuania and Poland
  2. Bizarre that anyone would consider buying from a seller that has no ratings for the product and no seller ratings
  3. And as we all know, Moto has said goodbye and stopped marketing in Thailand for quite some time now. Anyone who wants to experience a Motorola phone will have to go back to relying on second-hand shops like before. https://droidsans.com/motorola-edge-50-ultra-edge-50-fusion-specs/ You may need to take a trip to Malaysia to get one
  4. I used the ctek MXS 5.0 i have the extension cables so the battery is permanently wired and I just use the extension cables to extend the cable by 2.0 metres In the UK I used this one AA Car Battery Solar Charger which was brilliant as it had the option to be powered via the cigarette lighter socket ( not always on ) or the OBD2 socket which is always on I looked everywhere but couldn't find similar AA Car Battery Solar Charger I would sometimes leave my car parked for up to 100 days and normally the security alarm system would drain the battery over a long period of time 3 weeks or more
  5. European forces would struggle to guarantee Ukraine peace without US backing At an emergency meeting in Paris on Monday, European leaders remained split on the idea of deploying peacekeepers to Ukraine, a plan some European nations had started discussing last year at France's initiative. Such a force would raise the risk of a direct confrontation with Russia and stretch European militaries, whose arms stocks have been depleted by donations to Ukraine and who are used to relying heavily on U.S. support for major missions. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/european-forces-would-struggle-guarantee-ukraine-peace-without-us-backing-2025-02-18/ If Europe has been planning for years life without the USA it appears they haven't got pass the planning/talking stage yet As for Nato every member has a veto remember Turkey vetoed Finland and Sweden nato membership
  6. US President Donald Trump has stated that Ukraine would keep receiving American weapons but expressed hope that these deliveries would not be as large, given his desire to end the war. Details: When asked whether he planned to send more weapons to Ukraine if there is no peace, Trump said that the US aimed not to send many weapons but to end the war. Quote from Trump: "The answer is yes. But hopefully we won't have to send much [weapons – ed.] because I'm looking forward to getting it done quickly." https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-said-ukraine-continue-receiving-173713431.html Sounds like no major shipments of weapons
  7. This article states that the UK doesn't have the numbers they would struggle providing 10,000 "I mean, if we were to deploy 10,000 troops, each rotation for six months, that would effectively tie up 30,000 or 40,000 troops and we just haven't got that number available. As of October 2024, there were 74,612 members of the UK's regular Army forces (excluding Gurkhas and volunteers), according to the latest Ministry of Defence (MoD) figures. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czep44jn9jyo The only way of getting anything close to 100,000 troops would be to bring in conscription but how many people would be signing up opposed to leaving the country is anyone's guess
  8. According to this article the EU funded Russia 22 Billion euros in 2024 EU spends more on Russian oil and gas than financial aid to Ukraine – report Europe estimated to have bought €22bn of fossil fuels from Russia in 2024 but gave €19bn to support Kyiv https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/24/eu-spends-more-russian-oil-gas-than-financial-aid-ukraine-report

You might get a visit from the police if you criticize your local Labour politicians online Grandmother spoken to by police after criticising Labour politicians online Helen Jones left ‘scared’ after visit from two officers over Facebook posts A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: ‘We spoke to the woman for six minutes to advise she was the subject of a complaint of harassment and to answer any questions she may have. “No further action is necessary as no crime has been committed.

  10. In Thailand I suspect that BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and Audi are not classified as mass market in Thailand more your niche market The survey also excluded The study covered 12 car brands, excluding Changan Deepal and GAC Aion due to small or insufficient sample sizes. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/motoring/2968321/drivers-satisfied-with-after-sales-service
  11. Drivers satisfied with after-sales service Toyota remains the highest-ranked brand, gaining six points from last year, while Ford (+11 points) and Nissan (+23 points) saw the largest improvements, attributed to enhanced communication and cost transparency. GWM (895 points) solidified its position among top-performing brands, benefiting from better service accessibility and competitive pricing. The challenges for Chinese car companies are in parts availability, warranty clarity and post-service engagement https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/motoring/2968321/drivers-satisfied-with-after-sales-service GWM comes 3rd in the list of 12 brands and is 1st for EV brands

  14. Buying Russian oil and gas in 2024 doesn't seem to be an issue for the EU EU spends more on Russian oil and gas than financial aid to Ukraine – report Europe estimated to have bought €22bn of fossil fuels from Russia in 2024 but gave €19bn to support Kyiv https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/24/eu-spends-more-russian-oil-gas-than-financial-aid-ukraine-report
  15. TM6 was still required at some borders in 2023 and 2024 I was in Laos September 2023 which required a completed TM6 form The government has suspended the requirement for foreigners who enter Thailand by land or sea to fill out TM 6 immigration forms from April 15 until Oct 15.
