  1. Medvedev is a drunken lunatic. Scaring the west with nuke threats is a key part of Putin's propaganda game. Emphasis on threats.
  2. Stock market only a tiny bit higher than when he took office. Inflation is not low. Tariffs are aggravating it. India contests Trump's claim. Israel Iran conflict not over. Billions NOT saved by Doge.
  3. Thanks for that. The thing I suggest be added is about the chanote and blue or yellow book for condo owners not previously required for extensions at Jomtien.
  4. I'm actually surprised to hear this good news. I'm wondering how it happened. I seriously doubt the change was done out of regard for the well being of American expats. I think more likely the banking lobby which presumably is very powerful made it clear they don't want to have to deal with the additional work to enforce this.
  5. I think only hospital based dental clinics do that. I've had good experiences with Ocean Dental Jomtien.
  6. The OBJECTIVE REALITY of EXACTLY what the damage was to Iran's nuclear program is very important and will make a big difference about the future of this conflict between Israel / U.S. and Iran. We do know by now that extensive damage was done but we certainly do not know if it's been totally obliterated as claimed by the white house from day one. Don't delude yourselves that the conflict is over. Most people here seem to be playing very stupid partisan "gotcha" political games around this issue. Grow up. This is serious stuff. Opinion | Diplomacy with Iran depends on the damage to its nuclear program - The Washington Post www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/06/27/iran-airstrikes-nuclear-program-fordow-uranium-diplomacy/ An interesting prediction that Trump is going to attack Iran again soon from a traditional (not maga) republican commentator.
  7. I don't approve of soaking those workers or that big ugly bill in general but if this report is true, that is very good news for the typical American expat in Thailand who does remittances.
  8. I don't approve of their policy but on the other hand in that neighborhood there are probably some people that would deface those books, so it can be seen as a practical business decision.
  9. Seems premature to do that and questionable regardless. FBU has nothing to do with mailings from the U.S.
  10. That's good information. Thanks. I'm pretty sure I've always gotten them in June and not the last day of June either. I still think this is looking odd but will happily retract that later depending on what happens.
  11. You got the first part right -- Putin IS scum!
  12. Democrats don't have an appointed leader. Republicans on the other hand have a CULT leader.
  13. That's great but I think what people REALLY want to know now is WHY it appears NOBODY in Thailand has received their form THIS YEAR! It's really quite bizarre and indeed concerning.
  14. Good question. My impression which may or may not be true is that the U.S. rates different countries as more scammy or less scammy. Or you could say higher risk / lower risk.
  15. I don't know about Saudi but Iran is one of the leading countries internationally for gender affirming surgery. Bizarrely, they don't accept gay people but they do pressude gay people to change their gender in all cases, when cisgender gay people are not the same thing as transgender people by any stretch of the imagination. Just goes to show you how important CULTURE is around such issues as gender identity and sexual orientation.
  16. What's disgusting in your "story" is your implication that criminality is limited to transgender people. Some people of all kinds are criminal. That is NO EXCUSE to deny basic CIVIL RIGHTS to all human beings. Period. End of story.
  17. Even though very poorly worded, I think it's reasonable to assume that he does NOT mean that his passport is expiring. Why? Obviously a border run would do nothing to address that at all.
  18. Yes. Be patient and wait for more information which may take months.
  19. Incorrect. Obliterated means totally destroyed. Excessive and serious doesn't mean that.
