Maybe they learned something from WW2. Need to nip evil in the bud. Putin got away with stealing Crimea with very light pushback. That was a mistake.

Ukrainian refugees won't be welcome here at all. But if they can buy an Elite Visa, then that's different!

Me too, although I assume we have different criteria. I don't think Thailand is at the same place yet as in the USA on this as far as both vaccinations and infection saturation.

So my closet filled with 10,000 masks will go to waste?

I needed to sell in order to retire very early. So nothing to go "home" to and of course housing costs in the US especially rents are totally insane. In case things go south in Thailand (always a possibility) I would seek another lower cost expat destination (though those options are shrinking). I just found out today I could qualify for quick Ukrainian citizenship (got curious to look it up because of current events) so if they become part of EU then that opens up all of EU Europe without visas (sorry Brexiters). Of course not right now as it's not even certain that Ukraine will survive!

It is good to see protests against war criminal Putin's war of choice not neccesity from every corner of the world. Especially Russia! Don't hate Russians. Only Putin and his supporters.

Compared to Putin's Russia its the cradle of democracy. You know who invaded who, right?

Nice to hear from you Vlad. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Donbas

Just watched Three Months and unfortunately was left mostly unmoved. Not bad. Just not compelling either There was one scene though of intolerance of the religious to their own family that moved me Its a story of teen angst of the gay variety set in South Florida. Unlike most gay appeal movies explicit sex and nudity weren't therem Characters included Gay Jewish teen boy played by musician star Troye Sivan East Asian teen lesbian girl who had an affair with a curiously white woman her boss South Asian Indian closeted gay teen boy love interest Jewish granny and her black man boyfriend Gay Latino doctor at the STD clinic Now you know.

True but he was acting like he wasn't invading.

Calling BS BS.

I personally think if China invaded Taiwan that the US would get involved. Which of course means WW3. So the goal needs to be to convince China its not worth it.

Which bank?

You misunderstood. I agree with the above but SOME obviously will have some or a lot of complicity.

Neutrality is good as long as Ukraine isn't forced to have a Putin puppet government. But I think you might be missing something big about Putin's motivations. Nato yes but what about the threat of having a successful western style democracy on a bordering country with so many cultural and family ties? Both sides say they are brothers. Surely that would inspire Russians to demand the same. That's why literally crushing Ukraine would still suit Putin's goals if not annexation or a puppet government. Russians will have no desire to copy that.

Pretty good but you can trust Putin's promises as far as you can throw em.

Could be democracy's last stand.

Considering what Vlad The Unhinged had to say this morning it may not be far off, unfortunately. That would be uncalled for because the majority of the Russian population are against the invasion of Ukraine . Putin is the target , dead or alive , sooner rather than later .Isn't that what happened in the middle east in the recent years i.e the leading tyrants taken out ? I don't believe for a second that the majority are against it. Plenty yes but the majority only watch state media full of lies.

Only caring about trade. No mention of a sovereign country being brutally invaded? Please pass the vomit bucket.

Why do some people want to cheat at Wordle? That takes the fun out of it.

Yes could be a lot of pain for many innocent people but of course they're not all that innocent.

Any reports about long lines or not at SCB Jomtien beach where of course many Russians live? I have to go there soon and want to avoid long lines and also being involved in any international incidents.

Good point. Hopefully Putin's days are numbered.

Wow. That's powerful. Of course later they will say they were forced to say those things by mysterious Jewish Nazis.

CHOKE
