Ai is wrong and it knows it is wrong. There is no mechanism for Hungary to execute the arrest warrant because the ICC treaty is not reflected in Hungarian law. In plain language, if Hungary wanted to arrest Netanyahu, there would be no legal basis to do it. The international court law was never incorporated into the country's own national legal code.

And that is because you are relying on what Trump says, whereas I am relying on actual events. Just like this event; -The stock market took another pounding Friday after China retaliated with new tariffs on U.S. goods,. - The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded more than 1,500 points lower, or 4%. This follows a 1,679.39 point decline on Thursday. - The S&P 500 slid 5% after the benchmark shed 4.84% on Thursday and is now off more than 15% off its recent high. - The Nasdaq Composite, dropped 4%. If it closes there, the measure will be 21% lower than its December record close, a bear market in Wall Street terms. - Technology stocks kept bleeding on Friday. Apple slumped more than 4%, adding to a 10% loss for the week. Nvidia pulled back 7%, while Tesla fell 9%. Winning Bigggggggggggggg!!!!!!!

Isn't Sky Australia owned by Rupert Murdoch through News Corp., like Fox?

Please note that your Bloomberg article reference is stating that Trump says that Vietnam wants to do something. What Trump claims is not usually the complete story or the truth. What actually happened is that Vietnam made the offer weeks ago and the USA did not respond. The "charm offensive" as it was called failed and was reported on previously by Bloomberg, Vietnam Charm Offensive Fails to Stave Off 46% Trump Tariff

Be a sport and tell us where to read this news. I see that Bloomberg is reporting Vietnam Stocks Slide for Second Day as Tariff Panic Grips Market By Nguyen Kieu Giang April 3, 2025 at 11:00 PM EDT Updated on April 4, 2025 at 5:19 AM EDT \

Says who? Vietnam made some tariff changes on March 31. The USA was aware of those changes and still imposed its new tariffs.

Will the USA remove its longstanding trade barriers that were in place long before Trump raised the issue of tariffs? e.g. Bans on citrus. Want some tasty peanuts? Not allowed. The pesticide and fungicide infused US peanuts benefit from their protected market.

Penguins and seals. Heard and McDonald Islands - a territory which sits 4,000km (2,485 miles) south-west of Australia - are only accessible via a seven-day boat trip from Perth, and haven't been visited by humans in almost a decade. They do not currently have any trade with the USA other than an insignificant amount of fish that is collected by Australian fishers and sold into world markets. It doesn't go to the USA. Norfolk Island has 2200 people and doesn't trade with the USA. Including the Falkland Isalands in the tariff fiasco speaks to the general ignorance of the US Commerce department. The Falklands doesn't export to the USA.

they would first have to be aware of what a tariff is and how it impacts them. I offer that the typical Thai is unaware or oblivious to the trade war underway.

Keep in mind that he was a longstanding junkie.. Drug addicts are quite adept at lying. In his case, he used his celebrity status and acted as if he was untouchable. He'sjust a nasty evil piece of business. One look at his eyes and vacant souless stare, and you see all you need to know about him.

If the government shows that the materials used were substandard and intentionally selected, then some people are going to get hit with a very large financial obligation. There was a Course of Construction property insurance policy in place. It was reportedly a prorata participation placement of Dhipaya Insurance (40%), Bangkok Insurance (25%), Indara Insurance (25%) and Viriyah Insurance (10%) and subject to a policy limit of Baht 2.24 billion. Insurance policies are subject to some basic conditions and local law that excludes coverage for intentional criminal activity. You cannot intentionally burn down your home and then expect to be compensated by the insurer. If the investigation shows that the project owners intentionally used substandard materials that violated the specs and building codes they may have their claim denied. Property damage arising from Intentional wronfgul acts, or Negligence is usually excluded in a policy contract. This would in turn initiate a claim of negligence against the engineering and architecture firms for a failure to supervise. Good luck in having reinsurers agree to pay until the issues are settled. This could take years to settle.

Of course you would.

Add to that the horse abuser jockeys of Hua Hin beach. A favoured place of urination are the walkways from the road to the beach, Some places are pungent. They also love to pee on the trash bins of a certain hotel. I feel for the workers who have to use those bins and for the trash removers.

To a certain extent. The UK auto market isn't the best example to use. The Guardian sums it up nicely, Most of the UK-made cars exported to the US are premium, such as Volkswagen-owned Bentley, while others are high-end vehicles such as McLaren supercars, selling just over 2,100 annually, some costing upwards of £250,000. Aston Martin at its peak in 2007 it sold 2,058 vehicles into the USA, It has struggled since then with sales below 1,000. The USA does not manufacture a vehicle that comes close to Aston Martin, McLaren etc. At these high prices it is viable to manufacture specialty models. The UK has specifically targeted foreign markets. It isn't a high volume producer. It is just high priced. Even the horrible jaguar which has been seeing reduced sales volumes, only managed to sell 17,000 vehicles at its peak. That's different than what Thailand has done, or even what the USA does. The US model is one of mass production. High volumes, with little variation in fundamentals. It just isn't economically viable to retool plants that churn out tens of thousands of vehicles to make a few hundred vehicles or thousand vehicles . On any given day, a US GM plant is spitting out 1200 vehicles. 15 days of production is the equivalent of all Jaguar sales into the USA. It just doesn't make sense to assumethe costs of retooling to service a marginal market. The big US export market is in the Americas. The problem that no one is mentioning is that there isn't a market demand for US manufactured automobiles. As a former GM vehicle owner, you couldn't pay me to take another GM product. I don't care where it is manufactured either. Do you honestly believe that if Thailand reduced its tariff to zero that sales of US vehicles would explode? I dont think they will. US vehicle brands have no allure. They are not sexy and they have dismal reputations. THis isn't really about unfair trade practices, because the USA has been a master at imposing trade barriers. It is about an intentional crashing of the US economy. I have said it before, and I will say it again, the strategy is to defeat stagnation. The USA like many other countries is stuck in a persistent crisis of inflation. It won't go away. Tariffs are conceived by Pete Navarro as a means of shock therapy. He may be right, but sometimes the cure is more harmful than the disease.

Recycling is fine for the trash, but not useful for your tiresome stories. Please try harder.

That could cause problems. I fear that the national legislature would be emptied and that the senior ranks of the military and police would be stripped.

OK. What vehicles does the USA manufacture for right hand drive? Has the USA ever manufactured such personal use vehicles for export? Is it even economically viable to retool a production line to manufacture a small number of right hand drive vehicles? Changing import duties isn't going to magically result in a sales boom of US manufactured vehicles. The quality preceptions and dealer network issues effectively squash this in Thailand.

They can, but that's the same argument that was used when WWII concentration camps forced inmate musicians to put on performances for the benefit of the camp operators. The sick travesty of using Ray Charles is that he was opposed to what MAGA represents. MAGA extremists are the ones with the racist views on afro americans. One need only read this forum to see that. And yet, here they come to use a dead man to promote their sick political agenda.

The tax is added as value is contributed in the chain. There are offsets along the chain that participants apply. This ensures that the VAT is only paid on the value of the final product. Participants in the chain are deducting their VAT input costs. That addresses your unsubstantiated claim of middle men inflating prices. Most countries exclude critial products such as food and some medical supplies. Many countries also give a VAT tax rebate on a quarterly basis to lower income people. In some countries, the VAT replaced multiple hidden taxes, such as a national sales tax. VAT is one of the most equitable forms of taxation because it is a fair method of sharing the cost of government services rather than just sticking income tax payers with the ever increasing costs. The greatest benefit of VAT is that it reduced tax evasion on transactions. Your opinion is thankfully is helf by a very small minority in the advanced nations that have a VAT.

So? If they are US citizens then they are your equals. What's your problem if the USA reflects some of its origins? The country was not European before Europeans came and stole land.

Zelenskyy is reflecting public sentiment. He is not keeping the war going for a thrill. Ukrainians are proud people and do not wish to be subjected to Russian brutality and expansionism.

You do not understand what a Value Added Tax is do you? Countries with a VAT methodology are more likely to have a fair consumptipn tax system. The USA doesn't have a VAT tax, but most of the world does and it results in societal benefits. In effect the USA is angry that the world moved to a more equitable tax system.

No. You did not know who they were when you wrote in the MAGA style, of making a generalization, and hoping no one would question the narrative. Educate me and everyone else.The large numbers of countries should be easy to name for you, so just educate us.

Did the reality check hit a raw nerve? The point is that what is often served up as some special miracle person, turns out to be no better (or worse) than anyone else.

The fact remains that at 19 years old he was an adult and capable of making big boy decisions. He screwed up and now is gone. Of course it is a tragedy and sad, but it was his choice. Stop blaming the police for non compliance with common sense safety. No one forced him to speed or to not wear a helmet. He knew what he was doing . How about holding people responsible for their actions? Compliance starts with ourselves.
