You are very triggered.

The Nazi side is in Moscow. Odessa isn't about to fall. You clearly want it too though.

Trump may be the last sentient human who actually thinks Putin wants peace and that cutting him breaks again and again and again (Taco Two Weeks) will help speed up a peace process. It's obviously the OPPOSITE.

Frankly my dear us engaging in "debate" is as much a black hole waste of time as a decent pro rule of law American trying to reason with a maga American. You're clearly actively promoting the Russian Z fascist agenda. Nothing really to say to such people.

Biden was much better but he fell for Putin's nuke threats and only helped enough for Ukraine to hang on, never to win. If you're talking about moron Trump reacting to the alcoholic buffoon Medvedev, that was just idiocy. Trump doesn't know what he's doing. He doesn't understand the conflict at all. His interest insanely is getting the Nobel Peace Prize which will never happen.

Another tragedy. Another case of a mentally ill person not helped in time. Another case of lack of gun control in the USA. Another case where one side or the other will cynically exploit the politics of the shooter to further their partisan agenda. An endless loop repeat cycle. Both hopeless and indeed boring. Nothing will change.

Trump is Putin's poodle. Trump has stopped all financial and arms aid to Ukraine. Only sales to make money. The ww3 fear mongering is Kremlin propaganda 100 percent. I guess you think readers here are stupid.

You're posting Kremlin propaganda. Now THAT is nonsense. I agree Putin will not and cannot surrender. He dies if he does. He has to be FORCED to back down. As far as backing a winner or loser, nobody yet knows about the final result of this war. It clearly won't be soon. It could be 20 years from now. Probably more in the one or two year range.

In August it's about Ukrainian drones massive success against Russian oil refineries. I noticed Anne Applebaum thinks that story has been largely ignored in the media and she plans to work on changing that. This topic is about that too, though I'm no Anne Applebaum of course.

I'm not the topic. The topic is the topic. If it offends you so much, nobody is forcing you to read or post to it.

Troll bait ignored.

I'm as much a military man as bone spurs Donald Trump.

You seem to have intentionally twisted the point of this thread. I assert because of the drone on oil success that right now Ukraine does modestly have momentum overall. I have never said anything like that Ukraine will ever be able to force Russia out of the Ukrainian lands that Russia currently occupy. That is clearly very unlikely. Ukrainian leadership understands that too. Ukrainian leadership is willing to make a peace deal that involves accepting the reality of probably most current Russian occupation lines. They are not willing to gift more land than would make it easier for Russia to regroup and go for Kiev. PUTIN IS NOT willing! He does not want peace. He wants surrender. Ukraine is not in a position anywhere near needing to surrender.

That's a STUPID question. Nobody knows exactly how they would react to a crisis situation until they're in that situation themselves. I can relate it to Vietnam though. I was an active protester against that war. I was never drafted but I would have dodged that as I was against the war. North Vietnam did NOT invade and occupy the USA. They had not stolen American children. They had not targeted American schools, hospitals, shopping malls, etc. Genocidal war criminal dictator Putin HAS invaded and occupied Ukraine. Therefore, it's logical that Ukrainians who are unwilling to help their own nation in such a situation are not the best kind of people as far as character. Personally I believe if Putin prevails he will use Ukrainians as slaves to go further than Ukraine. Even more reason to try to stop him now. You're just playing a cynical flame game with the word coward. All sane people don't want to die.

Thank you very much for that! So the 200 baht would be for Thai Post EMS? I don't understand the comment about postal code rejection? Do you mean the Thai Post clerk might not accept that?

Can't stop all of that but there are things that can be done to stop some of it. Nothing will be 100 percent. Ukraine has now taken out 17 percent of Russia's oil refining capacity. The results are already dramatic. Get to 50 percent and you have potential to force Putin into getting more realistic. Right now he still thinks he can get away with anything and is just waiting this out assured that that corrupt grifter in the white house will ever even try to stop him.

Bone crushing secondary sanctions on nations buying Russian oil. Increased military aid with no dictating where to use them (as long as military targets of course). Trump isn't sending ANY military aid now. He's only SELLING arms now which is better than nothing, but still very shabby.

As far as Americans meeting Americans IN Thailand, it' my experience that Americans are usually sniffing around for clues about the politics of a new person. Not really with very casual acquaintances but more than that and it matters. This would also apply to apolitical people. I'm guessing here but I reckon they'd prefer the company of other apolitical people rather than partisans on either side.

Repatriating after a long time can be very challenging depending on the situation. Some people still have a strong family/friends support system in place back there but the longer you're away, the less likely that would be the case. A useful thing to do just in case is to try to keep a US based credit history in place and that it reflect good credit. Otherwise, renting an apartment may become EXTREMELY difficult.

New question about this. It doesn't sound unreasonable to do this even though we don't have confirmation yet from Manila FBU that they are indeed OK with this as a temporary thing. HOWEVER, as I suggested before, it seems silly to spend for DHL, etc. when with the same high price you can DHL to Wilkes-Barre. But they suggest tracking. Thailand Post EPS tracks too, correct? For a much lower price, correct? So why not just send Thai Post with tracking to Manila instead of a courier?

Flamingo (missile) - Wikipedia With Flamingos which are made in Ukraine they don't have to listen to Putin's poodle Trump about where and when they can send their weapons. Trump has not made peace. He's extended this war by failing to understand the basic reality of this war that a typical toddler by now understands. To get Putin to step down from his rigid maximalist (genocidal) goals you need to greatly increase the pressure on Russia both economically and militarily. The disgraceful American president has done the opposite.

Ridiculous tripe.

Russian draft dodgers I love. Ukrainian draft dodgers not so much. Their nation has been invaded and occupied by a force that uses terrorism daily to intentionally target civilian targets. Anyone who takes five minutes of research will understand that Putin is open about his goal to completely erase everything about Ukrainian culture and identity.

Who cares what that genocidal war criminal dictator says? He lies almost as much as Trump and his word can never be trusted.
