Well, then you clearly have serious cognitive impairments that need urgent medical assistance. If you think risking a nuclear war is a good policy for the world the sooner you get the medical help you clearly need, the better it will be.

For whom? Not Ukraine, if there was one thing Angela opposed it was putting Ukraine in NATO.

Business failures are par for the course for entrepreneurs. It is not a question of if you fell down, you will, but if you get up again. And Trump certainly did. The court cases, nothing serious really. Mostly politically motivated and indeed financed by his opponents.

Trump is showing Zelensky how to negotiate. Zelensky came to the White House thinking he would lecture Trump on what the future holds for America. Trump is halting military aid and now suspending intelligence co operation to show Zelensky clearly, "Without America your position is impossible". It has of course worked brilliantly, Zelensky is already kissing Trump's feet and lauding his "strong leadership". Lol. Watch and learn from a negotiation master. This is how Trump gets respect around the world, by showing he means business. Zelensky disprespected him. Now he has to pay the price. If Trump just let it slide, he'd be Angela Merkel, not Donald Trump.

So you think Zelensky argued effectively in the oval office then?

Zelensky never worked or practiced as a lawyer. Zelensky is NOT and NEVER WAS a lawyer. He was never admitted to practice even in Ukraine. All he did was get a law degree from Kryvyi Rih Institute of Economics. You are probably not familiar with the standard of education in Ukraine and Russia, it is quite high but sadly dogged by massive corruption with people routinely paying staff to pass tests and obtain degrees. Zelensky's "law degree", if he ever obtained one honestly, would in any event never be recognised in the UK, the US, Germany or most Western countries which uniformly do not recognise Russian or Ukrainian degrees because they are so often obtained with corruption. Your general point is correct though Zelensky is more or less educated, even if that education was clearly sub-par as he is unable to speak English properly which I can assure you most Russian and Ukrainian lawyers have no problem with. Zelensky was not ambushed. A journalist asked about diplomacy with Russia. Trump answered and then JD Vance answered to support Trump's argument. It was then that Zelensky decided that he would take issue with JD Vance and argue with him. That is how this spat started. With Zelensky being argumentative. Nobody was ambushed. He was not bullied either, he was the one trying to muscle his ludicrous argument that nobody should talk to Russia, and Trump then stood up to HIM. Furthermore NOBODY wanted to stick a dagger into Ukraine, quite the opposite, Trump is trying to save UKraine from death and destruction, something Zelensky should be doing, by bringing about diplomacy to end this war. Zelensky is stabbing his people in the back by needlesly prolonging this suffering of war, a war which is already lost and can never be won, and on top urinating on the legs of his potent backer who enabled him to resist this long in the first place. I mean truly idiotic leadership by Zelensky.

Actually Trump had a change of heart, he is now supporting the re opening of Nordstream 2. As soon as this war ends Germany will buy gas from Russia again most likely. https://www.ft.com/content/dc9c51ab-03cb-47ba-ad0a-09c4deed9b50 Obviously it is in the German interest to buy cheap gas from Russia, not import it expensively from Canada and the US. The German economy already has enough issues.

Talk about fantasy. The USA will always be the most powerful economy on earth, no matter who is in power. Unless China can make its poor peasants middle class.

I actually liked the bus as well, it is just a bit slow. Great photos of Chinatown btw.

I totally agree, transport in Bangkok is not ideal, to get to Mega Bangna I ended up taking the public bus, fun memories and the trip cost 20 baht, but it took such a long time.

Thanks for the tip! ICONSIAM could be very enjoyable if it were as busy as Mega Bangna. Have you tried Mega Bangna? Lovely spacious paradise mall, the best mall I have seen by far in terms of restaurant choices, design and not crazy crowded. Top quality Chinese, Japanesee and Korean restaurants and not busy at all for the size of the place.

We've gone from jobs for life with generous company pensions to the gig economy where today's generation has to juggle 2 or 3 jobs and get new ones every year, due to systemic changes, let me give you some examples: 1. Massive competition from China 2. Massive oversupply of university educated workers 3.Inflation However, when it came to government policy and the provision of generous pensions it was decided by politicians to live at the expense of the younger generations for the benefit of the current middle aged and elderly population. Now the young have to pay for the big buffet of pensions their parents pocketed. Wealth DOES trickle down, people have become increasingly well off in the working class. However, not if it is redistributed at will by politicians to old age pensioners and Eastern Europe. Who do you think is the biggest shareholder? Pension funds for the elderly.

German politicians imposed a massive oil price hike on themselves and thus ruined the German economy. All Germans who voted in these German politicians should indeed be ashamed of themselves.

I did check it out, and yes the food court had a lot of options, but whoever decided not to put enough tables and chairs should be fired. It's a total nightmare, you get your food and spend 50 minutes trying to find a table. It's crowded like a rabitt warren. I don't like Icon Siam at all. Plus it's a nightmare to get there. Again the boat docks crowded like a Dunkirk evacuation.

The war did not impact the German supply of energy at the slightest. Even as bombs were flying Russia kept supplying Germany. It was the idiotic decisions of German politicians to cut off their own nose to spite their face which led to the gigantic rise in oil prices. A wholly self-inflicted debacle. The wealth in the UK has not been redistributed from the working class to the rich, rather from the future generations, now the young Gen Z, to the middle aged and elderly, who in their day decided to live on credit - from their grandchildren. These young people are now paying the price in the UK for the generous pensions paid to their grandparents and parents. The wealth was also redistributed from males to females, as there is now a wage gap with women on top and men at the lower end. All thanks to the leftie politicians who ruined all our countries.

Yes, good food options, oh my God, you cannot sit down! So crowded! No tables. Total nightmare. But anyway that's food court, in Mega Bangna I meant the restaurants. Authentic Korean, Japanese, it's food heaven really.

The best option would be to hit Mega Bangna, the best mall in Bangkok which has food options straight out of paradise.

Yes, it's quite striking. But then Zelensky has always loved to dress up:

"Since the end of 2019, the statistics are quite striking. GDP in Germany has been flat over that period while the rest of the euro area has grown by 5%, and the US has grown 11%" https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/when-will-the-german-economy-bounce-back Who'd have thought that decades of redistributing the wealth of British, German, French taxpayers to Poland, Czechia etc would result in the GDP of the former going down whilst that of the East Europeans goes up? What a wholly unpredictable and unexpected turn of events, lol. Fact is the political class in Britain, Germany, France etc has failed and mismanaged the countries they were supposed to look after. What all these countries need is someone like Trump, who roots out the astronomical government waste. Can you imagine the waste in the EU and these European countries? The infrastructure of Britain and West Germany is crumbling. Women are not having children to maintain population growth. The writing is on the wall, in a few years these economies will disintegrate. It's no consolation the problem is even worse in South Korea which is heading to halve its population in 50 years which of course implies the economic implosion of S Korea.

Yes I can, I am tri-lingual. I'm also a lawyer qualified in two countries. If I would talk in front of important people the way Zelensky did in the oval office I would hang my head in shame and consider myself a failure.

Firstly the invasino was not "illegal". Secondly it was caused by Ukraine switching sides and trying to join the US and EU camp. UJkraine is obviously part of the Russian sphere of influence. Why do you think the US invaded Panama?

There is video of this press conference, we can all see what happened. Whilst Zelensky's English was poor and it did not help, his point came over clearly. He was trying to argue with JD Vance, who had just given his view that diplomacy is the best option. Zelensky was accusing Russia of breaking prior agreements made. What he didn't say of course was that it was Ukraine who had repeatedly broken agreements with Russia first, there were many of them. But anyway, it was very clear that Zelensky was accusing JD Vance, and by implication Trump who made the point about diplomacy being important first, of being naive and that diplomacy is useless because Russia never keeps any agreement. In fact Russia has been one of the most reliable partners internationally, and kept the SALT agreements for instance, when the US did not, and among the long list of agreements between Ukraine and Russia it was Ukraine who failed to keep agreements first. The difference between Macron and Zelensky is that Macron's country is not being destroyed by Russia currently and he did not need billions in aid and security guarantees from the US. If Macron had needed those he certainly would have spoken English and been deferential to the President of the US, which was the only option really. Zelensky took the prime actor "me will argue in the spotlight" option and by doing so flushed his country down the toilet.

Glory to this man Donald Trump, this peacemaker. This foresighted and wise leader. Stop the Ukrainian war machine. Force the children to make peace. End this war! Bravo America! Glory to Donald Trump, a truly great leader!

It's total denial of reality, isn't it? Even when there's a video of exactly what happened, they'll tell you, "no this happened". Bizarre. We can all see how Zelensky tried to insolently argue with JD Vance and was then slapped down by Trump. Yet they want to stylize Zelensky as having "corrected Trump". Zelensky could barely speak English.

It is utterly puzzling how failing countries like Britain, Germany or France want to fund Ukraine with billions of Euro in the long term. Okay, steal the money from Russia, but then what? Nobody's thought this through. It's all about photo ops and short term emotional feel good.
