    That depends on weather you live in a Soviet Republic or not. The next Putin's move will be a public court which will try to demonstrate that Ukraine and the other 15 republics have never completed the legal procedure for exiting USSR. So people from Estonia or Georgia should be worried. But people from France or UK have nothing to be worried about.

    I don't think the weather in Russia has much to do with things. It always seems to snow there. ????

     

    When the UK have upwards of 6,000 warheads pointing at it I would be a tad worried as to Russia's intentions. ☹️

    If you have a smart TV, android box or similar - then AIS provide an app that gets you all the Thai channels and movies for free (as long as you have or know someone with a AIS mobile telephone number). AIS also manage Disney+ which is 30B a subscription service. 

     

    Free?? Are you sure?

  3. Are you able to record programmes for later viewing in WizzTV?

     

    I have been using TVMucho and it is okay but I can't watch ITV and channel 4 catchup TV.

     

    I can watch BBC iplayer separately with a free VPN but it doesn't work on ITV player.

    In the UK he would have the NHS which is free, as is Medicare in Australia, i.e. unless you are referring to private cover which I never had back in my homeland as there was no need.

     

    Free NHS care with 6 year waiting lists for operations and GP's refusing to see patients face to face? Not to mention the lack of preventative care for cancer due to prioritising Covid.

    My insurance paid out 2 million baht for my bypass surgery in 2015.  Had I paid 145K for the 7 years I lived in Thailand, I'd have still been way out ahead.  Fortunately it was employer provided.

     

    Are you feeling lucky?

     

    I understand in many cases, bypass surgery is needed because of lifestyle. Why assume everyone else has the same as yours?

    Its complicated but not impossible, article here covers some of the options, its a good read:

     

    How would those accused of Ukraine war crimes be prosecuted?

    "Poland, Germany, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, France, Slovakia, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland all opened independent investigations into Russia’s activity in Ukraine within the first month of the conflict. They can do so under the legal concept of “universal jurisdiction,” which allows countries to use domestic courts to prosecute individuals for grave violations of international law, like crimes against humanity, torture and war crimes – even if they are committed abroad by foreign perpetrators against foreign victims."

     

    So what happens if a peace settlement is proposed and as part of that settlement Russia demands immunity from all crimes against humanity prosecutions? ????

    China may not be too concerned regarding Europe, however there ambitions are more likely to be centred on on Pacific regions and Asia.

    They have the ability to conscript large numbers to replace any current standing force of over 2 million  

    Conscripts for use as cannon fodder? 

     

    Most of the eligible Chinese men were born under the one child per family policy and there parents will be very reluctant to lose their only child. Secondly, as the only child they have probably grown up pampered nancy boys unable to fight. :cheesy::cheesy:

    Not only does war criminal Putin "need" to win but China "needs" Putin to win too. Thus hoping I am wrong WW3 has already started and/or is inevitable.

    Don't worry about China. Russia can't mount an invasion overground, a seaborne invasion of Taiwan by China will be much more difficult. I can imagine Chinese losses of hundreds of thousands of military personnel, even if they win. Don't forget, Taiwan have long range missiles and can hit the Chinese mainland.
