sounds more like wishful thinking, as usual making statements before anything is agreed, better to keep quiet until you actually have a signed document 

Why, would a signed document prevent a flipflop?

I'd be surprised if Quisling Bezos keeps this up after being spanked by dear leader. It's a great idea though. Too political? Oh please. Puting on these tariff taxes to fund tax cuts for billionaires isn't political!?!

He can't go through with it, would raise too many questions on the total price buildup.

Why is it just foreigners accounts, why not verify Thai national accounts? Many of the scams I have had tried on me have not been foreigners but Thais.

It would be nice if the banks, once given information about scammers would at least put a watch on the account but they don't do that.

What makes you think this doesn't apply to Thai?

At the moment for phi phi, customers pay 200 baht and get a ticket for that. What's not transparent about that?

Ice were in the wrong here on multiple fronts. The warrant was not valid in the court house, the person they wanted to serve was let out to the hallway, the same hallway the agents were in.

Nothing will come of it, especially with the rhetoric from trump, patel and bondi obscuring legal limits.

Political posturing is all it is, with fools leaping up every word and falling for it again.

Got a bad feeling the CIA will stop this development.

It happened in Europe. CIA may want to take over, but scientific cooperation is not exactly on the up at the moment.

That's only part of it.

 

It requires that all goods transported by water between U.S. ports be carried on ships that have been constructed in the United States and that fly the U.S. flag, are owned by U.S. citizens, and are crewed by U.S. citizens and U.S. permanent residents.

 

 

 

Time to set tariffs on US shipping then. I'd say 50 percent additional on all US ships docking or unloading worldwide.

Egypt should respond by implementing an additional tariff of 10% on US shipping, and a corresponding BRICS reduction of 10% on Chinese ships.

 

"Make Egypt Great Again"

You think 10 percent is enough? 

But a great idea.

If you have in fact done 400 plus dives then you would have been around a few novices who often struggle with buoyancy control and in doing so end up sticking a fin or their knee onto the reef/coal which causes damage to the often fragile coral.

Unguided diving is practically not done here. Up to the guide or instructor to correct and prevent. Which is where the issue is, with the instructor or guide.

WHY should the USA NOT pay the same rates as the shipping lines belonging to the rest of the world?

Because he might invade and forcibly take control.

Why should SV people suffer, to appease the SCOTUS, when nobody wants dangerous people returned.

 

Enough people suffer at the hands of criminals.  Innocent by standers (SV folks) shouldn't have to, so a criminal gets a comfy prison cell, and wasted tax $$$ for due process, when they ignored due process by entering the country illegally, or ignoring the law of the land.

So throw the rule of law out because you don't agree. Dangerous path.

What a load of B.S.

The USN and RN and occasionally some other Navies maintain patrols in the Persian Gulf, straits of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman but do NOT escort any ships that are not flying their own flag.  As to battleships, there are no such vessels at sea anymore and where "frog men" get involved I have no idea!

1990 opinion. But most likely not true considering the source.

Doesn't matter, 'but but but hamas' is the Israeli defence.
