  1. Sadly such atrocities by any and all including the Russians, brought to light or not , tend to avert the application of appropriate justice. It is significant to the fact that it is those countries who are NOT participant in the ICC actively resist co-operation over well documented events ! In cases such as the MH17 despite a well publicized "conclusion" those found responsible were the enablers rather than the "trigger pullers" as such. Unfortunately the emphasis on atrocities and the exacerbation of tensions in conflict does nothing to deescalate thereby reduce the opportunity for abuse.
  2. The real science in the determination of climate change factors looks at sea temperatures and currents which generate weather over the land masses. While the surface temperature of antarctic ice may be cooler the incremental warming of ocean water is undermining it .
  3. However the US continues to oppose the ICC and/or cooperation with investigations of events in Afghanistan.
  4. IMO there is an almost deliberate avoidance of the overall implications created by the sanctions. Despite the best attempts to make it true the "whole world" is not aligned to the US led NATO stance or to to Putin's . Even the graphics of slaughter and destruction have less than desired impact on a world that has been endlessly inundated with such for decades creating an awareness of the hypocrisy in adamant demands over the Ukraine. Russia will most definitely suffer even more regardless of outcome in Ukraine but if Putin shuts of the energy supply to the EU so will it. IMO there is some serious grounds to suggest that the US is now in an accelerated loss of dominance via the $. They, and others, are dipping deeply into strategic oil reserves with the assurance they will be restored "in good time" while also making plans to support Europe with energy demands . The UAE and Saudi Arabia are currently exercising their own strategy . Suggestions that the US should punish them while cracks in Middle Eastern ties are becoming very evident would strike me as being counter productive at best ! The very real danger is that in the attempt to re-establish control of the game the US will create yet another bogus excuse to initiate it's own "special operation" ! They usually culminate with a long list of atrocities of their own.
  5. Eventually actually people did ! Witnessing such an event would take some time to register for most people !
  6. Cheers for the recommendations. I have been taking vit c, b12 and zinc on a regular basis. I also eat a lot of honey and raw ginger. Milk is not something I can tolerate. Infected state confirmed this morning. Got told to go home and stay home! Attempts to learn how to eventually get a "Recovery Cert" met with a blank stare ! No questions about contacts etc which surprised me. Good news (for me) is the symptoms are much less today! Maximum temp recorded last night was 38.8 C which is under dangerous level.
  7. Only if I aged rapidly in a few days ! And reversed for a few hours at a time with Tylenol and cough medicine.
  8. Close Cambodia border about midway from Korat and Buriram
  9. After starting 4 days back with some intense leg pain in the middle of the night but nothing more noticeable until today ! Strange fleeting muscle pains including the head, quite intense solid pain at the front of both knees, dry minor cough and scratchy throat, only slight fever but fuzzy feeling and mild constant headache. Home RTK showed a slight positive so will be seeking more professional assessment tomorrow in the interest of possibly getting some "Recovery Certificate" .Have not had any booster shot so maybe such a Certificate will count as one. Certainly not feeling wonderful but so far very tolerable with adequate use of paracetamol. Covid is rife around our area now! Post Songkran no doubt will see complete herd immunity of stragglers one way or the other!
  10. Non participation in aggravation and extension of conflict (political neutrality ? ) has arguable merits. Have long established nations such as Switzerland been critiqued for neutrality? China is more likely to be preparing for it's own issues in the battle to maintain or alter geopolitical supremacy that Putin has initiated . Thailand will, as the majority of others, continue to present the illusion of social and economic progress for as long as possible until the inevitable impact of disruptions in the core processes of what has to date been assumed "normal" become obvious. It is the nations that have accomplished majority claim to sophisticated status who are most at risk of devolution into social savagery whereas the poorer nations will more simply lose the illusion of the prescribed target but retain greater capacity to survive.
  11. I genuinely understand the serious intent of the topic heading but initial response was exact "Time and Date " would be appreciated !
  12. Really? So a report of an unverified claim made by a person in whose personal opinion was subjected to treatment and conditions etc not to their liking is to be completely believed without question? Not me !
  13. Is it clever to "nationalize" exclusively? On a global scale Thailand is not disproportionately represented in "petty" deaths. It is how such deaths are officially recorded in defense of globally democratically administered principles of justice is made paramount !
  14. Pregnant woman thought that because was pregnant to ( unidentified father? ) would receive sympathetic and maybe preferential free treatment is miffed because it did not happen that way? Or? I have spent weeks in a Thai Public Hospital and the medical care was admirable. That I had to pay the cost was immaterial to outcome. The food? On a par with public hospital food globally accord9ing to opinion !
  15. BP 180/165 , respiration after crossing the room 120. YeP! No worries so long as you exit the premises Next?
  16. It is not so difficult to understand the despairation of not only the public but the generalized medical industry and community that any compound that could provide some degree of protection or reduction in impact of this new virus would be sought out and after. The saddest aspect for me is that instead of any rational presentation of efficacy even prior to the experimental vaccines a war of denial was in force for ...?
  17. Simplest answer to the op is a marriage extension is "usually" subject to a home visit while "pending approval" but a retirement extension is "Not usually" subject. I have had one such visit for a retirement extension that involved the same criteria as a marriage extension coincidental to the establishment of a new Provincial Immigration Office. My provincial address has never changed but the provincial Office I apply to has changed twice from neighboring provinces. For those who are liable for marriage extension visits due to age ineligibility for retirement etc mostly express dissatisfaction with the drawn out process rather than the outcome .
