  1. At the time of first press releases there were nothing about arms caches or any arms whatsoever. As police watched them for over a year they had clue who might be armed. Out of 25 only the ringleader had them and he was not able to use it. It was stored at his place for somebody else. There were not likely to be explosive materials, which can be all detonated, but guns.
  2. some 3000 police to catch some 25 suspects at their homes, that is 120 cops per case. Strangely too many cops, even if suspects were armed (but they were not). That doesn't sound right
  3. if manufacturer gives confusing info, do buy from competition which gives clear message. If you are concerned about sugar don't buy any products which contain it. Instead of sugar use honey, fruits - fresh and dried. Another step might be doing your sugar-free cookies.
  4. At the end of this interview, at 50:45, a large supplies of heavy armaments were missing, 2 full tracks worth of company supply. Brand new donated military gear. He blames corrupted ukrainian commander for stealing it.
  5. there would be depository of virus from wild animals. Starting from bats, rodents, squirrels up to monkeys, water monitors. There would always be interaction between wild and domesticated animals.
  6. What's the purpose of this article? Where is discussion or critical take on it? the title doesn't correspond to content: " he had been threatened with execution". He didn't say who threatened him. Execution (as oppose to murder) is done rather by court martial sentence. He wasn't charged at court. If he seriously neglected his duty, abandoned command, russians will make a showcase court case with hard sentence. As to the other case, quoted above. That guy switched side to Ukraine, went to front and shortly was captured by Russians. "Nuzhin had given a string of interviews in Ukraine after he was captured by Ukrainian forces in September, in which he criticized Russian officials and said he wanted to switch sides." That guy was a traitor. He had a chance to be prisoner of war, but declined. Ideally he would be court martialed by russians and his sentence most likely death. Looks, like he was fallen at hands of unit he deserted from and so was recognised.
  7. so instead of discussion on a forum about events in ukraine (missile attack on poland, misinformation posted by you, that Iraq sends missiles, threat of a local conflict escalating into 3ww) you copy and paste, without any comment whatsoever, an opinion about an internal political division within the US. That division is also within the society as a whole. Opposition to war is growing inside republicans. This "far-right" opinions are now becoming popular at mainstream republicans, as that article points. So the title of this article is distorting what that article says. Opposition to war will most likely to grow (as it's growing within republicans) across political spectrum and outside politics. If there is war there is also anti-war stance. Vietnam war was stopped partly because of the peace movement. Anti-war doesn't mean pro-russian, at all. It means not supporting any side of the conflict and pushing for a diplomatic solution, peace negotiations. Republicans are now scrutinising all ukraine expenditure. They have send weapons inspectors to trace equipment. How much of military equipment is unaccounted for, missing, stolen, sold on black market in europe? Three pages earlier (on page 247), Denim has posted a video interview with brit, who says at 50:45 that large supplies of heavy armaments were missing, 2 full tracks worth of company supply. He blames corrupted ukrainian commander. How widespread is that case? How much are worth those armaments to the US government, if they end up at terrorists caches across europe and elsewhere? How the US public opinion will react, when full picture of those investigations will be published?
  8. thank you for leaving conversation with me. O you well informed super-militarist accusing Iraq of sending missiles to Ukraine, which Iran hasn't send
  9. i am not a militarist and not obsessed with this war or any other military actions. Title of your article starts "Iran is preparing". That clearly means russia don't have them yet
  10. leave Iraq out of it. You are confusing them with their arch enemy - Iranians, Persians. You were talking about russian missiles, now you jumped in the opposite direction. Russia has bought some limited quantity cheap drones at $20k and now they are also making them in russia themselves. Nothing comparable to multi-tone, multi-million long range ballistic missiles. Even those s-300 which hit Poland are several tonnes
  11. unless it was a deliberate action by ukrainians - even without knowledge of their president and military command, just rouge nationalist element. An independent interrogation of those involved and investigation would show. But ukraine still denies it was their own missile. So answer won't be coming in the near future
  12. but doesn't use them to third parties. Ukraine does it, even with short range, just across border. Long range might be at capital city target. And that might go fast to article 4 - once mass media hype from the AP or any global news agency, based on verified CIA source will say, it's russian provocation. How far was world from 3ww a few weeks ago? ukrainians to this day deny their involvement
  13. ok, you know or you wish better. I don't hope for an escalation to 3ww, even more so to planned nukes. Before any planned attack there would be an accident or provocation, like that ukrainian missile attack on poland, that ended up just short at article 4. There might be warnings, nukes detonated over deserted area or international seas. Once the 3ww started it would be impossible to guess now how each of multiple sides will act. Start supplying ukraine with long range missiles and you never can be sure in what direction they will fly at. The next one might be not a barn, but skyscraper at some capital city
  14. I just have mentioned 3ww. Nukes would be rather by mistake. But such accident more likely to happen at high tension, like 3ww. Any side with nuke capabilities can start armageddon, including china and india. And pakistan. Not necessarily russia or the usa. The 3ww means many countries gradually joining this war as it develops.
  15. if the usa haven't succeeded in 9 years to get him, they would never get him. His american passport was cancelled when he was travelling from hong kong to south america, while he was transferring in Moscow airport. That's why is was stranded there. Now he can travel internationally, if he wishes to. He can't go to anywhere in europe. Even turkey is risky, as they are in nato. Also thailand is barred. Discussion with him some 11 months ago - starts at 1:40, after brief introduction. Second part at 19:30, 29:50, 35:00 (on Assange) and later. That situation bods well for the future whistle blowers from the USA and elsewhere.
  16. whoever has krone has to travel back to europe and exchange for euro. They should do it beforehand, before coming to thailand.
  17. accident is already covered by health insurance. accident would also cover outpatient, but usually to around 1/10, so not much. Accident is generally a death, dismember benefit. Probably that way they try to force clients to include outpatient. Some insurers, like the pacific cross, allow to top up their health with PA up to 5mln (they charge 150b for each additional 100k cover).
  18. can you please quote your yearly premium, how large was your claim and by how many % increased this year? Have you had any increases in previous no claim years? As I remember at gap of 70, they have a very large jump for renewal.
  19. there are now 9 long covid clinics at large bangkok hospitals. Opened since august. They are not free, unlike covid treatment. So beware of them offering extended care. The government has put 250bln baht for long covid on a national scale. Aims at 700k patients. Treatment mostly by herbal remedies. Even the governmental hospitals can spin problem, in order to have subsidies. https://thainews.prd.go.th/en/news/detail/TCATG220806171722110 Also many private hospitals have them, easy to find on google. Long covid is up to 6 months after infection. I would rather look for the other causes of poor health. So better treatment outcome if you exclude long covid trait
  20. Several months ago there was an article, that hospitals with large covid wards would start taking care of long covid cases. Check if it's maybe not just as money spinner for private hospitals. I would only go to the governmental hospital. If there are any specialised long covid hospitals, they would refer you there.
  21. Yes, visa friendly policy was the best, but since August they don't issue it anymore for 1 year. It can be now only renewed. They have now 90 and 180 days, which are not a good deal. There is a similar policy from pacific cross covering 3mln (but covering only up to 300k per hospitalisation in medical expenses) or better and more expensive 5mln.
  22. I got my money from medpark. i have written to them in augist, a few days after i had customer right to claim my money, because medpark never got it. they have replied i will get my money if they would be able tonsell my vax to somebody else. Some 10 days ago theybwrote to me offering pfizer. I have refused and demqnded once again my money. i have called them 2 times, left my phone to call back. They never call and reply to emails that they will talk to supervisor. so my wife called them in thai and shortly after i got my transfer. looks like they ignore foreigners. scammers
  23. check pacific cross - they have up to 300k deductible (for up to 50% lower premiums) and give up to 20% discount for no claim. Over 65 insurers need health check up. Here comparison of 6 insurers https://misterprakan.com/th/health/plans?gender=Male&age=64&lg=en&ipd=1&opdf=0&leadid=348157
