In my experience Russians abroad are more open to many different kinds of international foods (especially if there is a Russian menu). You'll see many in Indian restaurants. Contrast to Chinese and Indians whose tastes in general are more narrow. Maybe there is better Russian food in Alanya Turkiye because they don't have the wide international variety of food we have here except Turkish.

But it's not that idiotic, wink wink nod nod.

Yeah I know the place. I've had delivery from them several times. (Not sure if they're still on the apps now.) I found the standards like borscht serviceable but nothing to write home to Kyiv about (borscht is Ukrainian). But I haven't had fried pelmeni before and the beer promotion does sound good. Actually I haven't had a really great bowl of borscht EVER in Pattaya. Years ago there was a dive off Walking Street that was better than average, but I'm still searching. I've been watching a youtube channel by a Russian dodger/refugee (Sanctioned Ivan) food lover in Alanya, Turkiye which also has lots of Russians and for some reason the Russian food there appears to overall be at a higher level than in Pattaya. I don't know why. On this topic I've noticed the Ukrainian Restaurant (most customers are Russian not sure about the owners) in Jomtien has reopened.

To some Grand Wizards in full white sheet don't seem racist. I guess that's called diversity.

Different times but today's Russian soldiers are also rapists.

Yeah they're here for the "family friendly" resort. That's the ticket. Welcome American soldiers! God Bless Our Troops as your commander in chief always says.

Yes, it's quite troubling that so many American white nationalists, magas, America Firsters, trumpists etc. are so closely aligned with Putin. This faction can potentially win the war for Putin as their push to cut off arms help to Ukraine is growing and they might potentially win even more power in 24.

Possibly.

They might but more definite is a major degradation of Russia for a generation or two. Young Russians fleeing that are smart cookies but not all will succeed in finding a new residence country. Such Russians are usually actively country shopping. Their choices are limited. Thailand can serve for most as a first stop. BTW it would be destabilizing for the world if Russia splits up. Some new countries would have nukes and won't be willing to give them up knowing what happened to Ukraine after Ukraine gave theirs up.

Sure thing matey.

Are rents going up a lot? In Tblisi Georgia they've reportedly doubled.

I have such wonderful memories of Ptown as you might imagine. I used to prize my Cafe Blase t shirt. Yes Massachusetts winters do inspire many a move to Cali.

It's complicated.

Yes. Ignorance.

Not only Nazis. That genocide was based on RACISM without any doubt. It's simply ignorance to describe thar as white on white.

Perhaps it would have been better to say I would like to avoid and suggest other whites avoid the blacks that feel it is not OK to be white.

You sound like Whoopi Goldberg.

Nazis don't consider Jews white and many even most Jews don't identify as white either.

Because he's lost the plot.

Who said they're going back?

Baht bus fare was two baht. Ten baht is highway robbery! That's an increase of 500 percent! That map is amazing. The gay zone in South Pattaya didn't start until about 1982.

Dilbert man's free speech is intact. He can say or draw anything he wants. He can sell them on Amazon or through multi level marketing if he wants. But publishers have free speech today. They are under no obligation to publish anything they don't want to publish. Free speech yes. Freedom from consequences no.

Year round does sound like a nightmare.

Somewhere Boy 2022 UK Channel 4 dramatic series. Well reviewed. Just watched 2 episodes of the 8 and I'm hooked.

Ford and Lindbergh were active admirers of Nazis and Hitler and both were vile antisemites. They actively tried to get Americans to not support getting involved in WW2 just as Carlson and MTG work to get American support to cut off arms help Ukraine. Both indulge in antisemitic tropes. All four relate to America First which is historically an American white nationalist fascist slogan. I agree Ford was a great industrialist and Lindbergh an aviation hero. But their politics were fascist.
