Excogitator

Israel attacked Iran, Iran retaliated. Nobody acts with impunity in this world, even if they think they are entitled to..

You sound more like a russian propaganda-troll than a level headed Belgian.. 'valiant USSR soldiers', 'supporting putin 100%', and raving on about 'Ukrainian nazis'..

That's not my question, which is genuine btw. If you read my comment again.. I wonder what they (russians) are saying about us in their (russian speaking) forums?

So you were serious... okay, whatever, enjoy songkran, alone and miserable, in your 5000b/month room, watching animal-abuse vids on youtube...

How do you know anything about my likes and experiences at all? You just keep making wild assumptions. I am not an animal rights activist or extremist at all. I have both hunted animals, and cared for animals. I have been to elephant camps in more rural settings where the animals were just fine, living under good conditions, in a natural setting, with lots of space and movement. And I have been to elephant camps in more urban areas, where the animals were crammed together, exposed to extreme heat, noise and crowds, and who were miserable.. It's the latter I object to.

I'm guessing you're trolling, and that you don't really find any of this amusing.. because if you do, it would make you one very sad and depraved individual..

Normally, caged and chained elephants (and other animals in captivity) will have a certain behaviour indicating stress, typically repetitive and monotonous motions with head and body. If you've been around animals a bit, you learn to recognise such signs and behaviours.

Having been to a couple of the places offering elephant-rides, the animals there showed clear signs of stress. Sad..

If the influx continues, and they do start taking over Hua Hin, you might experience a sudden change of opinion..

It would be interesting to know what they say about other 'farang' tourists and expats in russian-speaking forums concerning Thailand (anyone?).

Maybe the only good thing to come out of that swiss hoodlums misdeeds is that they now are cracking down on other (foreign) criminal elements here too, among which the russians are well represented..

Again, you have no idea what you're talking about.. Maybe open your mind to facts and reality instead of fueling it with whatever confirms your own bias and political preferences..?

See my comment to Hanaguma above for clarity. Also, importantly, the SPR oil was sold at an average of 95 per barrel. So at an average buying price of 78 (to have a round figure), it means that Biden has, so far, made the USofA a whooping profit of more than 20% on this deal. So yeah, great work Joe! Another link for you: https://www.energy.gov/ceser/articles/us-department-energy-announces-solicitation-purchase-oil-strategic-petroleum-6#:~:text=This is a continuation of,for 2022 emergency SPR sales.

And what do you think would happen if they started refilling at, say, 10% at a time..? Thats right genius.. the oil-price, thus the price at the pump (and elsewhere) would skyrocket...

What do you mean? You have to actually open the link. You can't extract information or facts out of a url (link name) for heavens sake.. If you open it you clearly see the correct numbers. And you can also see the average purchase price of $77.81/b which is much lower than the current market price.

You're making wild assumptions without having any idea what you're talking about. The SPR is being gradually and continously refilled, whenever the price is right. Here's a link for you, since you're too lazy to fact-check and do any research on your own.. https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/oil/021524-us-spr-refill-continues-with-doe-purchase-of-295-million-barrels-of-crude-for-june-delivery

Right.. Pull the other one. This case has a glaring spotlight on it now, with nowhere out for this snitbag...

Okay, this was the last time I open this site while having my lunch. That last photo.. Is the security guard giving him a shower?

Having travelled in both Thailand and China, I must say I had far more issues with food and hygiene there than here in Thailand, including a severe food poisoning..

Throwing more insults and grasping at straws.. What a sad person you are. Of course the SPR is not filled to the rim while it's being used to stabilise markets to everyone's (exept putins) benefit. The SPR will be filled back up again, when the time is right, as US oil production is at record highs.

Running out of Kratom-juice must be very frustrating.. But seriously though, being poor in Thailand is a <deleted>-deal.

See, they both report on, and arrest misbehaving Thai people too...

Wars under Trump: In 2018 a large regional war involving Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan started. In 2020 Armenia and Azerbajan went to war Also in 2020 Western Sahara and Morocco went to war There were several clashes between Israel and Gaza in the trump years Ongoing wars in Afganistan, Syria, Yemen, Somalia Many smaller civil wars and conflicts. Trump gave 3-4 billion dollar in military aid to Israel and Netanyahoo every year during his term. Many of these weapons were used in the clashes with Gaza and in the current war. Trumps governent also 'benefited from war' as you say, selling huge amounts of weapons to among others Saudi Arabia, who used them on Yemen.

Sorry, but you are delusional.. Putin, not Biden, invaded Ukraine. Hamas, not Biden, attacked Israel. Netanyahoo, not Biden, invaded Gaza.

Biden also had to deal with the pandemic and its entire aftermath, in addition to Russias Invasion of Ukraine. Still, he has performed significantly better than Trump.
