She is an Irish citizen. If racial or other national origin defines a nationality for life despite migration then the US and other colonialised countries need empty themselves right smart !

Very true. But is it not equally true that without the provision of such assistance Russia would have most likely failed in the battle with Germany and to this day the overall outcome would painted a very different picture ? Rarely would "allied" assistance be given purely on benevolent grounds rather than well contemplated strategic foreign policy . In additional opportunism Ukraine is subject to the influx of foreign owner land and business purchasers in the absence of a large percentage of Ukrainian citizens . Am I also wrong in noticing by its' increasing absence a significant word or two in media reports such as "We will have your backs, continue our support as long as it takes until this war is won etc etc ." It may be implied as a given but initially such rhetoric included "Ukraine" wins this war. Now it increasingly seems bets are both ways but no matter to the financially interested parties.

Why laughable ? Nationality is the criteria . Not racial origin !

US Foreign Policy ?

A form of perversion that I find difficult to understand. Surely bikini clad women on beaches or even swimming pools offer better examples to tempt the inadequates than glimpses of sweaty knickers or even fleshy bits ?

Very likely a correct assessment albeit biased due to behind scenarios of previous expectations of status quo "arrangements". But that will only be in relative comparison to the collective assessments of global forecasts. What is denied in informational equations is the negative birth replacement rates in the most developed populations facing rampant inflation, influx of dependent refugees created by the distortion and extraction of disproportionate wealth by an elitist minority who possess the financial capacity to purchase or sell soul in lieu of for sufficient influence in service of . "elected" Officials have no fear of financial or social insecurity within the community that has empowered them at least for the term of elected office. That term is too often spent on destroying potential challenge for next election cycle rather than fulfilling political promises that were never intended or even viable at time of utterance !

Half of SFA ? Great ! Free Medical ? 30 Bht scheme same as all Thai in effect.

Well obviously Thai authorities would not have such a desire. No more so than say the UK authorities advising potential legit visitors to be aware of hiked Hotel prices because many budget hotels maybe unavailable due to "humanitarian " housing refugee boat arrivals ? The reality is that the sad majority of Thailand road fatalities feature motorcyclists including a percentage of foreigners for reasons covering a wide range of circumstances. The majority of foreigner deaths that get publicized are by cause of drunken and/ or drugged belligerence and/or stupidity, suicide , terminal disease, natural causes. The number of deaths involving criminal activities are probably comparable in number to those of country of origin... maybe less. Road deaths such involving tourist passengers on paid transport does happen but rarely in exclusively to fellow Thai travelers. Travel warnings to such as self indulgent inexperienced youths are already provided........in the exclusion clauses of the Travel Insurance Policies they never purchase ! For the rest ? It ain't like back home isit Mi!dred !

If for Thailand then why not so for every country ? I am not defending or denying that Thailand has a shocking record for road deaths but nor is it actually the worst by percent of population.

And yet Erdogan was/is criticized for holding out on Swedish NATO qualification on the grounds that Sweden was protecting individuals considered wanted terrorist in Turkey ! Now Sweden introducing martial law ? Strange world now !

That level could probably be lowered by introducing fatal gunshots to transgressors of existing law and road rules ? No doubt a few "farang" trophies in that lineup ! (sarcasm alert )

I know of at least 10 non Thai nationals deaths "at the scene" road deaths that never made slow news day headlines . Who is to know publicly how many also succumb to injuries in hospitals. I would consider privacy issues as a limiting factor in morbid fascination about total number of "farang " deaths from all causes. Possibly in several hundreds but do we need or deserve to know?

Does your e-mail host not provide an option to move specific mail to normal inbox after marking as Not Spam ? Not that guarantees a fix as I have same problem with emails from one specific person who uses a rather obscure provider. As suggested I now have learned to check spam folder. Mail from Thai Immigration or other has never been an issue.

Barstool urban legend material. Some central areas of Thailand can produce more than one rice crop in a year. The north and north east are devoid of rice crop. Some struggle with cassava which requires a lesser but minimum amount of soil moisture just to survive. Sugar likewise but growth is very seasonal very limited areas can have adequate access to water for that. It is certainly not a "typical " situation .

Apparently so. I once did have brief moment of contemplation about the compliance status of g-strings.

You need an explanation? Persons fleeing a country that has had economic interference directed towards or away from influencial figures or administrations for the purposes of gaining external control and/or access to significant assets to the detriment of local inhabitant citizens. Kindly get denially eloquent about the genocidal attacks on populations driven off or away from mineral deposits etc by militants who have been funded to provide the capacity in false belief that of longer term interest.

Actually not at all embarrassing. Vindication of argument in defiance of the concept . Thanks

Welsh as an alternative?

Remove sign translations to English and change to Gaelic !

In my posts on this topic that encompasses refugee status in general it is always so easy to invoke outrage at the very graphic and so often tragic outcomes of desperate attempts of people to escape real or perceived fatal dangers by reference to the longer term economic cost to the target society. What is stringently deflected from is the root cause and strategic interests of those remote from general society. That I can have an opinion that differs to that held by consensus to the force fed propaganda provided by a monopolist media should not be a surprise to those with a reasonable degree of independent analytical capacity that does not require agreement.

?

War zones or economically massaged.... same same end desired objective with undesired side effects.

Educate me . I am not Transman

In point, the UK were lackeys once again to the false directive of US justification in Iraq

Oh Dear ! Have I stated the UK is directly involved ? Nay ! I mention a collective. Such a collective may be NATO or some "humanitarian " interventionist group. UK may be in or not? Most such are groupies to the militarized agenda of the US. Does it not make sense that countries that object to the influx of refugees should at least get their stinking feet out of those same countries of origin? Then at least there may be some justification in refusing at the borders !
