  1. Trump is creating doubt in the Iranian leadership, and fear that the USA will participate. It is intended to push Iran into honest discussions on limiting its nuclear weapons capability.
  2. You don't seem to be familiar with how it works for Germans. He will wake up at 6 AM, and make sure that he has placed his rag on a prime spot on the floor reserving his new bed space.
  3. The video is quite obvious. It was irresponsible. There were people listening and watching who takes what he says as the gospel truth. There were multiple poisonings because of the use of disinfectants such as chlorine dioxide, a bleach type disinfectant. International Journal of Medicine and Medical Sciences, The chlorine dioxide controversy: A deadly poison or a cure for COVID-19? Mitchell Brent Liester Vol.13(2), pp. 13-21 , September 2021 In the wake of President Trump suggesting that disinfectants might be injected to treat COVID-19, a number of Americans were hospitalized for ingesting cleaning agents, and at least three people were charged with criminal offenses for selling chlorine-based products as remedies for the disease. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/argentina-covid-treatment-judge-orders-chlorine-dioxide-internet-miracle-cure-disinfectant/
  4. What's your point? Injecting disinfectant into a human will not "cure" Covid. Perhaps if they were vaccinated with the glorious Russian Sputnik vaccine.................
  5. You are the one singling out the Netherlands history. I only pointed out that it is no worse than any other. You dismiss the exposure of parking garages and bombs, but the reality is that the reason, the likelihood of bombing is lower now is because consulates do not create the opportunity for terrorism. You are deluded if you do not accept that opportunistic terrorists are circulating. The Dutch are still a target. The current Netherlands facility satisfies all of your parameters and is most likely more cost effective than relocating in to a big office tower that is not secure and not convenient for anyone. The real issue is that the Netherlands government wants to cash in on an asset because it needs money fast. it's like the old aristocracy who started selling off their land to maintain their excessive lifestyle. What needs to be done is to cut expenses at home.
  6. The USA had nothing to do with the Syrian civil war. Russia and Iran propped up Assad and he created the 14 million refugees. Most of the migrants coming into Europe now are from Africa and the USA has nothing to do with that. They are economic migrants, especially the North African arabs.
  7. He was not facing criticism. The reality was that he did not want to be there, and saw little benefit to the USA. The Iran crisis was a good excuse to get out of there. He signed his agreement with the UK. He made nice with Carney, he said hello to other G7 leaders and said what he wanted to say. The G7 was a dog and pony show as far as he was concerned. It was more important for the other G7 members who need to get organized. and get on the same page on tariffs. And as usual, the EU cannot.
  8. The Netherlands consular services operate from a modern building adjacent to the old Ambassador's residence and office which is shown in the photo. It is not easy to find an accessible location with parking facilities in Bangkok. Your requirement necessitates a large urban garage. Terrorists love underground parking garages. Safety protocols recommend that public parking be away from the offices and residence. The current location is proximate to 2 BTS stations and is 1 km away from Chit Lom BTS or Phloen Chit BTS. Parking is available at one of the proximate hotels or at the shopping center on Phloen Chit Road. One cannot get better than this in Bangkok. Yes, the Netherlands has some history that today we find reprehensible. Unfortunately, during that same period, Other Europeans were slicing people up alive and then hanging them up in public squares, the rack, the iron Maiden, the Inquisition etc. The Chinese had their public torture of slicing pieces of flesh off of someone, the death by a thousand cuts death. Native peoples in the Pacific and Americas were torturing and eating their enemies, and Africans were chopping each other up. Sadly, every culture also practiced slavery, and exploitation. Humans are not very nice. The wars between Burma and Thailand and the Khmers was not culture sharing and a celebration of shared values. It was rape, pillaging, torture, destruction and death.
  9. It was just reported that you are shaking with delight and squealing with glee as you announce the future destruction of Israel and the triumph of Iran. Like you, I can not provide credible sources for that information, and there is a strong likelihood, my report was fabricated. Your thread is filled with unsubstantiated claims and disinformation.
  10. Trump is described as being polite. No has said he was bullying anyone, and no one told him to stuff it. On the contrary, the world leaders are following the example of PM Carney and avoiding a direct confrontation. They are there to address the issue of tariffs, financial stability, the problems with China and Russia and of course the middle east. Trump was encouraging with Canada and both he and the PM said they were hoping to finalize their trade deal within the next 30 days. He did not dismiss PM Carney's trade position outright, and instead was open. The USA has been keeping a low profile. It is the EU that has a problem with its migrant crisis and the French vendetta against the UK.
  11. You have a vivid imagination. The person was never classified as having died from Covid. The family assumed she had, but the medical exam showed otherwise. Your claim of "More$$ if hospital tied the death to covid" is nonsense and reflects ignorance and limited intellectual ability. More nonsense. That is not what happened. A road traffic death or fall from a ladder would have been subject to a medical exam to determine cause of death. Where and when did the events that you claim occur? Provide some examples. The reality is different from your self delusion, the same way a person of limited intelligence will make up a story to explain why they wet their bed.
  12. The Dutch did not have slave activity in Thailand. Nor did they murder people in Thailand. The Dutch presence was with the permission of the ruler of Siam. The Dutch were not colonial occupiers in Thailand and the small Dutch East Indies trading post that was allowed in Ayuthaya in 1608, was restricted to trade. The embassy is a beautiful greenspace and a haven for songbirds. It is shortsighted to sell off this land. It never cost Thailand much to purchase. The cost of entertaining at the Ambassador's residence is still more cost effective than hosting in hotels, and safer too.
  13. The cops can never do anything right it seems. One day we lambaste them for a lack of presence, then when they show up, they are criticized. I think it is praiseworthy that the Brigadier General went on a foot patrol and took his senior officers with him so that they can see for themselves. He's trying to make a difference.
  14. No he did not say bleach, but he suggested disinfectant. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52407177
  15. That can't be too good for the economy. I suppose better to be alive and inconvenienced, than to be dead if living next door to a general.
  16. Hang on, I think I have seen her before. She seems to be a graduate of the North Korean Broadcasting school.
  17. Al Jazeera is neither neutral not reliable. It's "journalists" have been exposed as working with various militant groups. It is easy to criticize western media, because so many lies have been said about them, but most are far more reliable than Arab based news media for the simple reason that they are not controlled by their respective governments. Al Jazeera is controlled by the Qatari government and does not diverge from stated Qatari government policy.
  18. Why not just write that you agree with the statement; I'd say that one's country currently being bombed by a nuclear bomb wielding terrorist-state is probably a better reason. And please educate me as to why the statement is not ignorant? Due to that identity's characteristics it is likely that it is a person who has a long history of posting hateful incendiary comments intended to promote rancor and intolerance, under different names.
  19. Looks like someone is pretending to be an immigration crackdown supporter, trying to incite and wind people up.
  20. Aren't those aircraft refuelers being sent to the Gulf states to support US and UK aircraft if they are obliged to defend Bahrain, Oman, UAE and KSA? Iran did threaten to close the Strait of Hormuz.
  21. And the Iranian missiles and drones are injuring Arabs too. - A civilian woman was killed Sunday in Syria's western Tartus province when a (presumed Iranian) drone struck her home, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. - On Sunday, remnants from Iran’s latest wave of ballistic missile attacks landed in two different areas of the West Bank, with one piece of debris igniting a fire near the home of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and another injuring three young children near Sa’ir, according to The Jerusalem Post, citing local sources and eyewitnesses.
  22. I do not dispute that there is a problem with a subset of tourists. There was just another incident of drunkards on a junket to Ibiza. However, harassing polite law abiding visitors is not going to fix the problem. Not mentioned is Spain's influx of economic migrants and refugees, It has granted asylum to approx. 1 million migrants over the past 4 years. They have to live somewhere and they are competing for low cost housing. If there is a problem with some tourists, go after them, and not the quality tourists. Blaming the tourists is a cop out, an easy way to ignore the source of some of the problem, the Spaniards themselves. The landlords are allegedly prioritising foreigners over "locals" because the landlords can get higher rents. Go after the landlords who do it then. The remedy for excessive rent increases is rent controls that require the landlord to file their rent increases with a rental regulator. It is done in other jurisdictions and protects the tenants. There are complaints of apartments being converted to short term rentals and Air BNB. The solution then is to require such rentals to be registered and to pay the taxes that they are most likely avoiding now. If there are too many airbnbs in a building, the number allowed can be limited. This is done elsewhere. It all gets down to Spanish people wanting to make a profit and/or to avoid taxes. That's not the tourists' fault. If tourists are disorderly or litter, then issue tickets and fine them. If they brawl and cause damage, arrest and hold them until they pay the damages. This would require the Spanish police to actually do something other than sit in speed traps, and hang out in the station drinking coffee.
  23. Kristi Noem is a nasty piece of work. Trump was warned about her, but wanted to reward her for being one of the first to support him last election. He will regret having this uncouth, dimwit in his cabinet.
  24. This has nothing to do with Israel or Thailand. The tourists in Spain who are being harassed are behaving themselves and doing nothing wrong. Tourism is 16% of Spain's GDP. What will the people who can find the time to come out on a work day to protest do to replace the 136 billion Euro revenue that is lost if there is no tourism? Who will pay their bloated pensions and social benefits?
