Just like Vietnam and Germany the Ukraine war is not winnable. You cannot win against Russia, the Germans tried that in WW2 with millions of its soldiers and look where it got them. I certainly applaud the Ukraine people for their tough fight but it is hopeless. I think Trump realizes this and is trying to end the slaughter and destruction of the Ukraine.

This might seem strange to some but I am being honest. I live in a three bedroom condo right on Wong Amat Beach facing the beach. I am able to have all four slider doors open for most of the day and have the wind flow through. Today I had to close some because of excessive wind. The best part is that I am always naked as a 'Jay Bird.' Never having to wear clothing. I cannot do that in my home country.

Why is it always the Brits? Do they have a chip on their shoulders?

So true Harrisfan, Europe is a cesspool of socialism and has been riding the coat-tails of the United States since WW2. Europe certainly has the right to be socialist but not the right to have the U.S. support their socialism.

I guess I just do not understand the mind of the left wing socialists in America. Why do they want to waste money on ridiculous projects around the world: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/02/16/usda-axes-millions-contracts-including-230k-brazilian-forest-gender-consultant/ Spending millions of dollars on “Central American gender assessment consultant.” What is with this fascination with "Gender" amongst the left wing? Are they not happy with themselves and how they were born? Its as if something genetically is screwed up in their minds. They used to put people like this in institutions now they vote for them for President (Biden/Harris.) America is on the right path with Trump as the new President and Musk at the helm of the new DOGE.

I do not live in Jomtien but I also take advantage of these agents. I never do a 90 day report or keep 800K in my Thailand bank account. Not because I do not have the money but because I would rather invest it in my home country. I used to be a good dutch boy, for many years, but have become jaded by the hypocrisy of the Thai society.

Interesting, I might give Stigmata a read. Some of my ancestors where French Huguenots that fled France during the Catholic persecution and moved to the Netherlands.

Only a fool with a death wish gets on a motorbike in Thailand!

So very true, it seems the Thai people are born with a corruption gene from birth. No amount of schooling or training will enable these people to escape their wanton disregard for law. Thailand is a pig with lipstick on and no one is fooled.

A few years ago the police tried to raid a Nigerian church in the Bang Na area of Bangkok. Over one hundred Nigerians fought the police and the police left. https://www.nairaland.com/8223172/nigerian-pastor-arrested-thailand-over

Maybe I just do not understand, why would a real man, not a girly man, want to vote for a diversity woman that cackles like a chicken?

Very Interesting studies. When I met my Thai wife in Thailand she was enrolled at King Mongut University for a PhD in Information Technology. Unfortunately, she had to withdraw from the program after I took her back to my country for marriage. We stayed out of Thailand for five years. Now back in Thailand she is again enrolled in a PhD program for Technology Management from a Thai University in Bangkok. This University is not ranked on the list posted on this forum. While back in my country she completed another Master's degree in computer science. She now has two. Even though she now has a good grasp of English in both reading, writing and speaking, it has been a tremendous struggle complete her PhD dissertation in English. I think a universities ranking means nothing to a student who's independent research involves outside sources of information.

Thanks for the post, I will have to try their burgers.
