PTI but such obvious BS needs calling out. There’ll be a more equal playing field but in the main, the US, Europe and other Western aligned nations will still rule supreme. China is going to go through an almighty demographic crisis, Russia is already going through one that’s set to get worse. That’s not to forget that China already has its designs for Russia and wants its eastern territories, with its abundant natural resources, back. They will strike at a time when it makes the most sense, which will be when Russia has a power vacuum through the natural (or unnatural) demise of Putin. The only current and prospective BRICS nation that I’d be willing to put money on in the long term is India, but there’s one trump (not him 555) card that the west can play, and should do, that will dwarf BRICS.

No we wouldn’t. We’d moan and tut and maybe raise an eyebrow but then the majority would tune into Love Island.

Just because it appears that way in your head doesn’t actually make it true.

Christ, this guy would polish their shoes if it was required by the CCP.

Laughable.Do some reading, you’ll be amazed at how helpful it can be.

Would be great to have an ASEAN World Cup.

Back in November 2021 I paid £350 for LHR to Phuket rtn for March with Etihad. Back in April I paid £650 for BHX to BKK rtn for June with KLM. (This was Economy Comfort and checked baggage) Last week I paid £580 for LHR to BKK rtn for October with Eva. I’m looking at Skyscanner now and you can get an indirect flight in October for £380with Saudi or £480 with Royal Jordanian, both flying from LHR return. Both include checked baggage (Something that the European airlines do not). The key as always is flexibility.
