Trump Steps In as Thailand-Cambodia Conflict Escalates
Awful comparison. In that big war he's actively working for Putin.

So you're saying political free speech opposing a president is against U.S. law?

Trump Steps In as Thailand-Cambodia Conflict Escalates
A few thoughts as an American expat in Thailand who represents the strong majority of Americans that now oppose Trump. Of course, I am very unhappy about any kind of armed conflict between Thailand and Cambodia. Of course I support any sincere international efforts to try to mediate between the two sides towards peace. HOWEVER, with Trump there are some big problems. Trump has ALREADY taken credit for "ending" this local what he calls a war. He accomplished this non-accomplishment by using big stick TARIFF TRADE WAR threats against both sides. In reality, a president of the U.S. imposing tariffs without congress is ILLEGAL. Now he is trying that game again. Some might say, well that's OK, the threats of illegally using increased tariffs is for a good cause -- PEACE. But people should look at this another way. Talking about Thailand specifically, Trump doing this is stepping on the sovereignty of Thailand. Whether the Thais are right about this conflict or not (frankly the issues are too arcane for me to have an informed opinion about that) doing that invites HOSTILITY by both the government of Thailand and proud nationalist Thai people. It pushes Thailand away from the USA long term and towards China. To what effect? So that Trump can amass more "wins" for the real Peace Prize that he's never going to win anyway. If fits a disgusting pattern by Trump that is without any doubt going to make America less great, less successful, and less wealthy -- trashing traditional allies. Probably worth a new topic -- but personally I have noticed an increase of negative reactions from Thais upon learning my nationality. I don't know if that is anecdotal or related to Trump's bullying actions.

Plenty of people and also you obviously didn't bother to inform yourself. The US screening is about ALL entrants, those with visas and those without. /www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article/moscow-soars-to-the-top-of-international-tourism-rankings-for-summer-2025-with-unprecedented-growth-in-visitor-bookings/#google_vignette Moscow Soars to the Top of International Tourism Rankings for Summer 2025 with Unprecedented Growth in Visitor Bookings - Travel And Tour World

It appears to be further along that "only" a proposal. Also, I don't think it will require a law to be passed to implement this horrific anti-American policy. Keep in mind there is a set recrord of the Trump regime regarding CITIZEN non-Trump supporters as ENEMIES.

She's on a contract. Everything to do with Trump is transactional.

My advice to foreigners is to boycott dystopian fascist white nationalist ruled America unless and until that movement crumbles. Obviously if you need to travel to the U.S. or buy U.S. preducts for some important reason, that's different, but that's my general advice. The majority of Americans DO NOT support what's going on now!

What Do Ukraine Talks Reveal About Putin's Intentions?
Putin leads the EVIL side in this war. I guess you think if you can flood this forum with Putin propaganda, you can poison more people with it. Unfortunately, you're probably right. Next ...

Hope springs eternal -- referrals to a plumber serving Jomtien
It can be a real struggle to find reliable, competent, fairly priced home repair people in town. Presumably English speaking will cost more, but an alternative to that is someone with the patience to try to communicate with translation apps. Currently, I have a need for a plumber. Not urgent like my place is flooding, but not something I want to wait months to deal with either. Not overly optimistic of getting a good referral here -- but heck, maybe worth a shot. Thanks in advance.

Trump is right! Football in the USA should change it's name.
Could just call it lacrosse to steal from the Native Americans and force THEM to get a new name.

Well in any case, I think a new (to English) word with some kind of connection to the game might be on the right track. With that, there would be a plethora of possibilities. Here's one: RUGBEO A new word in English that is the Esperanto for rugby (origin sport). It's got a B in the middle like footBall and eo evokes neo, as in a new name / newer rugby related sport. Esperanto as a hoped for international language relates to the (pre maga) American value of nation built by immigrants from everywhere. It's got a ring to it, no? For a new to English word that could does the job, can you beat it?

A troll meme but within that context the USA under Putin's poodle Trump does not belong in the before part.

Who's your Daddy? At the FIFA Peace (Participation) Prize event, for once Trump emitted a truth that is actually true. It's silly to call a game that has very little to do with foot play football necessitating calling actual football soccer. So soccer in the USA should be changed to football, and football in the USA needs a NEW name, yes? So in the spirit of Daddy's being right at least once in a blue moon, please suggest a NEW NAME for football in the USA? No, not American football. An actual new name.
