You are just playing games with words. Of course it is not being suggested that they would occupy the whole of Ukraine militarily, but that they wanted a pro-Russian Ukraine. How else to do that than to install their people...and absolutely they want Ukraine's resources. Are you drunk sir? First Crimea and then the Donbass. Are they not resources of Ukraine?

Another one of your silly stories...I don't even need to read it. I think that you misunderstand. I have Russian and Ukrainian friends and I read Russian media. I only read 'Western' media in relation to what I read from the Kremlin. I read Putin's 5,000 word treatise published seven months before the invasion. Have you? Don't go blindly accusing people of swallowing Western propaganda when you know nothing of the sort. You are simply foolishly throwing mud around in the hope that some of it sticks. It will not, because I don't have a single sided view lie you seem to do.

Try to be serious. The OP wanted a solution to "call periodically". A monthly subscription doesn't quite fit that criteria. If he doesn't use all the minutes, then the cost will be far more than AU$0.033 per minute. Skype Credit is considerably more expensive and also has a connection charge.

You REALLY need to work on your attitude....

A drunken 'local'...

Does msbkk, stand for MicroSoft bkk? Nice that you 'remember the days', but I don't know what that has to do with anything. As we both know, Windows for consumers doesn't really need a licence at all in order to function. Perhaps audited businesses will spend that kind of money on a licence they don't really need...

Why don't you post on Russian forums and complain that Putin et al are wasting their (tax payers) money? What is your point here? That they should have just left Russia to do whatever it wanted, then sitting on the borders of Europe? Are you not happy with the way your life turned out? Since you are such a supporter, why not head over to Russia? See how you like living there.

Useful fools....there are at least a couple on this thread. Taxpayer's money....how much tax are you paying? You are just a walking cliché. Another one who has swallowed the propaganda hook, line and sinker. You just ignore the parts that don't fit with your story.

Western propaganda? How about the Russian propagandists that stated and published exactly what I have asserted is true, going against what you have suggested? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petr_Akopov What is your fantastic explanation for this?

A quick diplomatic and political agreement by installing their own people? What kind of nonsense are you writing? The plan was to have Belarus and Ukraine under their wing. That's it. What you are writing is just plain fantasy, willingly swallowed up by the gullible and the malicious.. They were proclaiming glory to Russia within the first two days, reversing the humiliation of 1991 and having UKraine back under their wing. To what diplomatic and political solution are you referring? Once they invaded, all bets were off. Russia denies plotting to place puppet ruler in Ukraine as military build-up continues – The Irish Times Is that an example of Western propaganda or did it turn out to be the truth of what they planned? There are none so blind....

You are just babbling. They thought they would take Kiev and install their people. No need to conquer the whole country by force. That didn't work out. You have NO IDEA about the reality, you just babble on in a one sided manner, day after day. I'm just pointing out exactly what was published in the Russian media. No independent Ukraine. Get that into your skull and stop writing nonsense.

"It's based"...... that's a story. You based it on some assumptions that you call 'facts'. Whereas I read what was published in the Russian media within the first days on the invasion. Then when things didn't turn out as they hoped, those articles disappeared, suddenly. They wrote that they had reversed the humiliation of 1991 and about Ukraine, Belarus and Russia together again. When you read what was written, it is clear they are not referring to the Donbass. They write about being back on the borders of Europe. Newspaper editorials deleted but still found on web archives. Whereas your version is just a story that you have put together and decided was the truth. Who is Viktor Medvedchuk, Putin’s main man in Ukraine? | Russia-Ukraine war News | Al Jazeera You should understand...it's a game of Chess. All of the 'he said, she said' is just a distraction. It's up to you if you want to put a story together that 'wraps it up' for you.

Your whole post is a flight of fantasy. Is there a reason why you decided to not address the statement that they had someone ready to install? There are at least some published articles discussing this BEFORE the invasion. Where is your story published....apart from in this thread? I'll ask you again....on what evidence? What I read above is a story that you've made up.

How can you make such a definitive statement, especially when the evidence points to otherwise? Marching on Kiev and having their alternative President ready to install points to a Ukraine under their influence does it not? Once under their influence they are on the borders of Europe. It goes both ways. So from what evidence your definitive statement that they 'never intended to absorb Ukraine completely'? I meant the hearts and minds of Ukrainians..

Have noticed a bit of a price difference when if you fund the account with GBP instead of US$: The US$ cost is double the UK cost. Some arbitrage there 😊 Fund your account using GBP.

Foolish in the extreme. The idea that you think Russia will have won if they do that. Do you think even for a moment before you wrote that? They are hardly going to win hearts and minds if they go nuclear in Ukraine. Remember the point was to absorb Ukraine by installing their own people. That has failed. But no doubt they hope to regroup and to keep trying. If politically doesn't work, then militarily. This is what is occurring, over and over. The other side is working to dissuade them. Right now it's shuffling pieces on the board as a prelude to negotiations.

Have you posted any facts thus far? If not, then what about your intelligence and knowledge? Your opinion does not equate to fact simply due to you asserting that it is. The first thing that you wrote in this thread, the post to which I have posted a reply is so very obviously wrong. If you were in possession of the intelligence and knowledge that you described, you would know that their intention was to take over the whole of Ukraine, to bring it back into the fold so to speak. They just hoped to take it without a fight. Your statement with regard to demilitarisation is pure fiction.

No, that was not their 'stated goal'. It was just one of many 'stated goals'. The intention was to capture the whole of Ukraine, to have Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. To be right on the borders of Europe with all that entails. All that is occurring now is not just by chance. This is a war against the Anglo-Saxons...who they think control the west. By bringing the West down they feel that the will 'restore their 'rightful status'. Most of the rest is just smoke and mirrors...

I'm guessing you are referring to a 360. There's a known issue with the Touchscreen failing in some of those. Samsung were dealing with them on a case by case basis. Numbers to call can be found here: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Computers/Galaxy-Book-360-touch-screen-issues/td-p/2496116 Have you actually tried to contact Samsung USA at any point?

Theoretically, yes. If you can get International Roaming up and running. Then you get 100 minutes and 100 SMS to Australia for AU$20. If you don't use the SMS, then the calls will cost you AU$0.20 per minute. Cheaper to use something like https://www.localphone.com/call/australia from your Smartphone to call them for AU$0.07.5 per minute to mobiles in Oz. You can try the service for free. To call from your Smartphone, use their application via 3G/4G/5G/WiFi

I posted it an hour ago....

AIS SIM 50 baht from service centre(not at the airport). Turn Mobile Data OFF on your phone, top up 200 baht and then apply the 9273 code shown on this page, followed by the Dial key: https://www.ais.th/consumers/package/netpackage/mnppackage Once you receive SMS confirmation, you can switch mobile data to ON and then apply a second code *777*7673# followed by the dial key. That will add another 10GB of data to your package. So for 50 baht + 200 baht you will get 40GB of data allowance(slowing down to 384kbps if/when 40 GB allowance has depleted), unlimited free calls to any network and unlimited use of AIS Super WifI Hotspots:
