Any man is a “loser” before 25-30 and, after he gets a well paid job he suddenly becomes a “winner”. Girls are not the same. At the age of 18 the are all winners and call you loser, but at the age of 35 they suddenly shut up and speak very polite.

"If President-elect Donald Trump cuts the supply of military aid, the Ukrainians will lose - it's that simple." It's not that simple actually. Donald can cut the supply of military aid from the US but pay unofficial compensation for EU countries that provide military aid (gas price discount?). So Americans will feel much more safe. Don't forget that Donald is the US president, not the EU president.

When two cars are driving fast towards each other, someone will always turn first. I am sure that Kim and Vladimir will not turn.

I enjoyed reading this part: Admiral Rob Bauer stated that NATO forces would have already pushed back Russian troops if Vladimir Putin weren’t constantly invoking the threat of nuclear weapons. "I am absolutely sure if the Russians did not have nuclear weapons, we would have been in Ukraine, kicking them out," --- So, Vladimir's impressive nuclear balls scare NATO just fine. Z guys like this! I hope there will also be revelations from NATO members about how scared they are when they think about nuclear weapons from the strong Korean rocket guy - Vladimir's friend.

Not to escalate is good for Donald. But is it good for Vladimir? I doubt so. The only chance for Vladimir to win is to roll out his impressive, neatly shaved huge nuclear balls. But this only could be possible in the process of uncontrolled escalation which is the natural excuse for it. Without such excuse, Vladimir would look as an aggressor, not a victim of American "hidden intervention" as he named it in the recent Valdai forum.

It's not what you might think. Vladimir Putin believes that these regions have become part of Russia forever - he has spoken about it directly. Therefore, the 9 people who died are the missing 9 votes for Putin in the next elections. Absolutely outrageous. Vladimir sincerely considers them to be liberated Russians and not Ukrainians at all. So it is not surprising that the guilty were punished.

The NK soldiers have visa and spend their holidays in Kursk legally while other tourists without visa behave quite rude with the guests from NK.

Your parents and grandparents were raised differently and you won't be able to prove anything to them.

In an alternate future where Harris won, every child over 6 would know this.

However, Schwarzenegger said he “will always be an American before I am a Republican” The truth is… he will always be a Californian before he will be a Republican. By choosing Harris he will have better future in California.

Our leader Vladimir told us that Biden is predictable. I think that the Democrats' simple and straightforward strategy in Ukraine did not allow them to achieve the desired success there, and therefore they failed in this election. Today Vladimir Putin congratulated Trump on his election victory. Image generated by AI:

Interesting. Some Americans say they voted for Trump, others say they voted for Harris. But our leader, Vladimir, told us that Americans vote for electors that (as they hope) should vote for someone they like. So the privilege to vote for leader is exclusively reserved for Russians, North Koreans and other nations, but not for Americans.

Seems like you should have this money before contacting the agent. Cannot find any report with “show money in the bank” service used.

Considering that the visa is given for 5 years, this is not much at all - 100-120k. This is 20-30k per year. In the old good times we paid 40k per year for non-ED every year. So it is ok for "easy path", but too expensive for a high rejection rate option. I suppose that most of the applicants choose Thai Cooking Classes, Thai Boxing or so as universal formal reasons for their application and agencies organize the entire process including communications with schools. It seems that because of the high cost, not many people get this visa using agents. Therefore, it is necessary to take time to evaluate whether there are easy standard ways to get it with low risks.

I think they will not allow me to entry without visa because of my 12+ years back-to-back visa history. I don`t look like a tourist at all. I encountered the "stuck in Laos" situation about ten years ago or so. This was the time when there was an easy path to stay in Thailand with non-ED visa based on Thai learning courses which you actually don't need to visit. It was possible to get an extension to stay up to 1 year. And... suddenly... these visas became difficult to obtain. I saw a lot of rejected non-ED applications in the queue. Mine was also rejected. The reason was always "you need one more paper" - which was actually easy to make in school but the applicants were far away from school - so ... they were stuck in Laos. Luckily, I was offered a tourist visa instead of non-ED. At that time, they were very easy to get - you just had to fill out the visa application form and pay 1000baht.

Thank you for the valuable information. I have spent many years using the Non-O SE based on Thai child (Vientiane) or Marriage(Savannakhet) followed by 60 days extension based on Thai child. This seemed to be an ideal route for staying in Thailand forever and for having excuses for short relaxing trips. But today we see that consulates are switching to problematic e-visas. So I have to find other possible routes. For now, Non-O visa based on marriage (from Surat Thani immigration) followed by yearly extensions seems like the best choice.

When I tried to get visa extension based on marriage they told me that I need to obtain k.r.2 from the local amphor. So I suppose that they might also want it for non-O Visa based on marriage. That's why I would prefer to save my time and just apply for Non-O visa based on Thai child if it is possible. If it is not possible - I will apply for Non-O based on marriage.

Wow! I did not know that. Thank you very much! That's exactly what I'll do.

Not have yet, but I have 400k in my Thai bank account (not seasoned - but seasoning is not required for visa, it is required for visa extension only), have prepared copy of my child birth certificate, copy tabien ban and wife`s id card, copies of my passport. So the plan is to get visa locally, in Surat Thani city immigration office, and then use it by visiting a neighboring country. My current 60 days visa extension based on Thai child was obtained in Surat Thani city (until 6.12.2024).

I am looking for the best place for border run for those who have valid visa already in passport. Malaysia and Ranong(Myanmar) have enormously huge stamps wasting almost entire passport page for enter and leave 10 minutes later. Cambodia Vietnam and Laos have small stamps. Good option for those who don`t need visa to enter Laos or Vietnam or for those who bought Cambodia tourist e-visa online (very easy). But I have heard that Singapore does not make any passport stamps at all. Looks perfect but I would like to know the details. How does the Thai immigration know that they should place the entry stamp, not to cancel the departure stamp when they watch my passport and not find any other country`s entry stamp?

Hi Although I meet the criteria for a DTV visa, getting one seems like a bureaucratic nightmare. Forget a single paper and you are stuck in Laos. I hope agencies invented easy paths to get it - like just pay money, get papers and become a visa holder for sure. But I'm wary of scammers. Please share your experience with easy DTV paths.

You are right, man! Z guys need a real person captured and willing to say why he supports Putin and his Z campaign. And... finally... we got even better! The difference is that in the case of prisoners of war, there are always doubts about how sincere the testimony of the prisoner of war was and whether it was obtained under pressure. But in case of Z Americans like this one - there is no doubt about their sincerity because they acted on conviction. The American Z hero is in Moscow already! The Z American already said to Russians that "Russia will win in Ukraine". Z guys are looking forward to the American Z hero`s future confessions. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-citizen-who-helped-russia-ukraine-appears-moscow-2024-11-02/

A very shocking video. How did people react to it in Russia? Suddenly we see that Kadyrov has cancelled his order from the news quoted below. Does this mean that Z warriors have accepted the challenge and are preparing an even more shocking video with no less surprising confessions from a caught Western soldier? It's scary to imagine what a caught Western soldier might confess to. In general, the Z guys are very intrigued!

I would bet that they will not cross the Ukrainian border and will be engaged in security in the Kursk and Belgorod regions. These regions are on the way to Moscow where Putin sits, so they are most important for our leader Vladimir`s personal security. Providing security for our leader, Vladimir, is the most important thing for the Z guys because when Vladimir feels safe, he dare to draw more and more scary red lines for NATO.

As far as I understand, Trump and Harris are two quite different war strategies. Harris is for "Look, the enemy is weak. Let's move forward quickly!" And Trump is for "Look, the enemy is killing women and children with Novichok! Let's stop the war now!" (of course he does not want to stop the war, he want to take millions of breaks to start again and again) If you switch on your TV you can see what strategy is chosen by the government. So it is easy to guess who will win in this elections. The TV is saying something similar to "the enemy is killing women and children" and the Russians in UN are saying that they refuse to stop the war. This means that they are receiving persistent requests to do so.
