Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
ozimoron replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Expect a false flag incident in Belarus very soon. Russia and Belarus began joint air force exercises on Monday, amid concern Minsk may start participating in the conflict in Ukraine directly, as Kyiv's intelligence said Russia is planning a renewed war push in 2023. Lukashenko agreed in October 2022 to create a joint "regional grouping of troops" with Russia, saying the decision was made in response to provocations by the NATO military alliance on its border with Ukraine, and Ukrainian plans to attack Belarus. Since then, Russia has been sending military equipment to Belarus. The two nations also extended joint military drills on January 8 amid fears that Minsk is being pressured to join the war. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-belarus-joint-air-force-drills-ukraine-war-1774013 -

New York Reps. Dan Goldman (D) and Ritchie Torres (D) sent a letter to GOP leadership demanding that they explain what they knew of Rep. George Santos’s (R-N.Y.) lies about his resume and biography, and when they knew it. “In light of recent public reporting indicating that each of you had at least some knowledge of the web of lies used by Congressman George Santos to deceive his voters long before they became public, we write to request that you proactively and forthrightly cooperate with all current and future investigations into Mr. Santos, including the investigation by the House Committee on Ethics that Speaker McCarthy confirmed this week,” stated the letter, which was obtained by CBS News. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3814383-ny-democratic-reps-call-on-mccarthy-gop-to-explain-when-they-knew-of-santos-web-of-lies/

Classified documents from Biden’s time as VP discovered in private office
ozimoron replied to Scott's topic in World News
So far I haven't read any allegations that any of Biden's documents were at a level above classified, meaning that possibly none were secret or top secret. That would also explain why National Archives did not have them registered. That stands in stark contrast to Trump's documents where some were top secret and the National Archives did know they were missing. -

Saturday Night Fever in Pattaya - What a disappointment

They don't. They want money to leave. -
I went to Pokhara from Kathmandu in 1979 by bus. I decided that was so scary that I would fly back. It was a decent trip out to the airport and the flight back to Kathmandu was in a canvas biplane. It seems like they wanted the airport so much closer to Pokhara that they built the new one in an unsafe location. I recall that the walk up to the top of a nearby ridge was 2,500 feet in the space of less than a kilometre. I was only 25 and had been doing martial arts at the time so was quite fit. Some local kids who looked about 6 years old begged us to carry our packs for 5 rupees (about 30 cents in those days). I was a bit reluctant because they were so young. They beat us to the top by about half an hour.

He wasn't. While I enjoy the company of the local women folk, I would have no problems enjoying Pattaya without them. At my age I am on the cusp of that now. -

ozimoron replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Both countries have high rents considering that in the Philippines you either need to live in a village in the boonies or a gated community. Otherwise you will be broken into. It happened to me a few times. I was also held up at knife point within a hundred yards of Fields Ave. . Much higher rates of crime against foreigners in both countries compared to Thailand. In the Philippines it's almost impossible to rent a furnished apartment, they are all bare. Food in Philippines is shocking and the country rated third worst in the world in a recent poll discussed on this board. Fresh fruit other than pineapples and mangos in season (one variety) is not available. They don't have the fruit carts like I see everywhere in Pattaya. There are very few small restaurants selling fresh cooked food cheaply in the Philippines. Western food restaurants are outrageously expensive. International schools likewise. Decent doctors are out of the country and hospitals are terrible or very expensive. -

A veteran airline consultant says pilots likely "lost control" of a plane which crashed in Nepal, killing at least 68 people. Video posted to social media showed a plane flying low before sharply rolling in the air and disappearing out of frame. One witness said he saw the aircraft spinning violently in the air after it began descending to land, watching from the terrace of his house. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-01-16/nepal-plane-crash-pilots-lost-control-australian-on-board/101857702
