Sure, and Putin won a free a fair election.

No, that wasn’t a fair election.

But the conscription to Ukraine is voluntary now. If you will bother to check the facts.

A question from newbie. I live in rented house and considering an EV. Thinking about BYD seal, but the choice is not final. Obviously house owner will not let me to make any alterations with house wiring either install any charger. But there is a usual electric plug conveniently located near parking place. So my questions are: will I be able to charge EV from that socket? I do not care about charging time, can be even several days, as Im using car rarely. If so, will I need to buy some socket adaptor, or usually it coming with car?

Im wondering how many cocaine users realize the big chance that the powder they sniffing came from the ass of big Nigerian dude

Thailand will chew anyone. Russians, British, New Zealanders, they have about same rights here, something very-very slightly above zero. Thailand with its culture will chew everyone and will spit them off, regardless of nationality .

Another 3 heading for Ukraine

Already more than a year the draft to Ukraine is 100% voluntary, but such comments popping at the forums again and again

yes, they were probably the killers

Or probably astronomers. You made an assumption from nothing, so why they can’t be astronomers.

Got that right. Putin can end it any day of the week he wants. End of story.

How do you see that? Withdrawal to the borders of 1991, including giving up Crimea? Do you think that its real?

I found it funny/strange that just next door the the police station is there and they turn a blind eye.

This is not business of police. They care about safety, criminal activities, and so. This is business of immigration, and I will be not surprised if the relationships between these two government agencies are not warm.

By my calculations, each aircraft was bought for $21 million. A new Boeing is between $200 and $300 million.

The majority of the fleet are not wide bodies, but something like A320s. The first link from google showing this: “Second-hand A320s typically cost less than new ones, with the average price for a used A320 being around $25 million.”

Anyway, we don’t know details of the deal, but the result is obvious: the fleet is legal now.

It's also worth remembering many of these Western-made aircraft were leased, and have been illegally expropriated by Russia.

 

Majority of these airplanes are already bought from leasing companies. The latest episode:

Thailand breaking the sanctions by supporting Russian jets?

Please remind me then Thailand has imposed sanctions to Russia? If they are not, why they should follow sanctions imposed by US?

The new House will vote for enough supplies for Ukraine to win.

How do you see the winning? Russia will be pushed back to the borders of 1991, and at this moment they will stop any military actions? Why would they?

Drug and rape related convicts were not allowed to join this program. Now this program is shut, so the only possible  next destination for him is jail for several years.

Wow....Interesting......so they can avoid frontline action even though conscripted? Are there any subtle forms of punishment for refusing or are they not even asked, during their one year, to serve on the frontline?

They not being sent to frontline. They serve one year and after that MoD trying to convince them to sign contract. If not agreed, they going to home. Currently at the war only those who signed contract voluntarily plus some amount of men drafted in September 2022.

I wonder how Putin will feel about it, given that quite a few of the 'tourists' will be avoiding callup for military service?

There is no draft at Russia now. Draft was announced at September 2022  and this created a load of negative consequences, so the government shut it after a month or so.

It opened at daytime, so how being opened at night becomes more dangerous?
