I don't see any contradictions here. In Putin's understanding, this is not a war or an invasion, but a special military operation (to restore order in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic). Ukraine declared independence. Does this mean that it left the USSR? Let's think about it. If France or Italy declare their independence, does this mean that they are leaving NATO? Obviously not. Similarly, Ukraine has never declared its withdrawal from the USSR, and Russia, which is in the UN as the renamed USSR, knows this very well. But Putin and Lavrov are in no hurry to declare this because, in their opinion, society has not yet been sufficiently educated by the special military operation to discard all sorts of nonsense. They are waiting for public opinion to be ready.

Trump appeared on the political scene in September last year. Until then, everyone was sure that Harris would win. She was supported by all the media representatives. Then suddenly all these people refused to support her and, unexpectedly for everyone, Trump won. What happened in September? And in September, Vladimir Putin made changes to the nuclear doctrine and made the United States responsible for Ukraine's actions against Russia. Therefore, the number 1 task for the United States was to remove America from under the nuclear threat of Russia (not to be confused with a nuclear strike, which is impossible). To do this, Trump staged this amazing show about how the United States allegedly no longer supports Ukraine. As a result, Trump accomplished the main task - he protected the United States from the threat of Russian nuclear weapons. At the same time, all aid to Ukraine did not decrease by a cent - it's just that now the European vassals of the United States are formally responsible for all this.

Why does China behave so bravely? Because China knows that if America starts a war with them, America will lose in Ukraine.

Russia always welcomed tourists from China Iran and North Korea. Sometimes it happens that armed tourists get lost. And then they are unexpectedly found in the SMO zone.

A politician's profession is to weave conspiracies. Therefore, it is impossible to discuss politics without conspiracy theories.

What is interesting is that nowhere in the Airport is it written that holders of ME visas and reentry permits should not use e-gates. If Thais really wanted this, they would write about it. Or at least the e-gates would show a red light to anyone with visa registered in the system. They do neither. This suggests that even if there is a forbiddance on the use of e-gates for ME visa holders or Reentry Permit holders, it is RECOMMENDATIONARY and not mandatory.

Maybe but at least one time in my life I saw that airport staff did check the visa number somehow. It was in airport of Shiraz. Thai officer placed wrong “expired” stamp on my ME visa before. So the airline staff did check somehow that visa was not expired and allowed me to check in.

It has visa number and registered as visa in the system. So if anyone from the airline staff wanted to see your visa you should show your reentry permit. I did not know this and tried to explain to a Chinese airline staff that I had “reentry permit”. But only when I said that it is my visa, they checked its number and allowed me to check in.

What is this stamper officer for? It is needed to solve non-standard departure problems. When an ordinary employee meets a foreigner who showers him with a bunch of English words he doesn't understand, this is precisely a non-standard departure problem. Therefore, the employee directs the foreigner to the stamper officer.

Airport staff are always slow to adopt new rules. In the old COVID times, an airport employee did not let me check in without a test result that had not been needed for entry into Cambodia for a couple of months. Probably you should just pass through the gates without any questions.

ME Reentry permit is actually a ME visa.

Sad news for Z guys. Looks like Novosilka will not be denazified by May 9.

Russia has a different opinion on this matter. Let me explain it to you. You can say that Vladimir or Dmitry have big balls, but you can't say that a table or a chair have big balls. What's the difference? That Vladimir or Dmitry can make decisions on their own. And that's why they can either get scared or act bravely. But a table or a chair can't get scared, and that's why they don't run away, not because they're brave, but because they're incapable of making any decisions. Recently, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said that he doesn't care what Europe thinks because it will do whatever it's told from overseas. Vladimir Putin, in turn, reminded that the US occupation forces are still in Germany, although they've changed their name. Russia's position is that Europe doesn't make decisions on its own and is like a table or a chair that Uncle Sam moves at his own discretion. Therefore, the concept of big balls doesn't apply to Europe.

But the previous historical attempt to create a Jewish state took place without the support of a powerful ally from the other side of the ocean and ended in failure.

Because the number of citizens in Israel is even less than the number of residents in Bangkok. It's like a single city against the entire middle east. The Arabs have overwhelming superiority in manpower. Israel has tactical nuclear weapons, but to ensure its security it needs strategic reserves - that is, those that would be guaranteed to destroy any enemy. It certainly does not have those.

I haven't thought about it yet. However, it is unlikely that it is in Israel's interests to anger the countries around them. Because such actions greatly increase Israel's dependence on the United States. After all, in such a situation, if the Americans do not provide the Israelis with their support for 5 minutes, the state of Israel will simply cease to exist. That's why I don't believe that Israel is doing this of its own free will.

Israel is too small to decide anything on its own. It is probably just a pawn in the hands of bigger players.

The Chinese are extremely cautious. So if they took a side, it means that the Z guys can prepare for the most pleasant events.

From Russia it looks a little different. Previously, America simply ignored what Russia thought. Then Putin showed off his impressive nuclear balls last September by changing the nuclear doctrine and the Americans suddenly pulled Trump out of a box with his desire to negotiate. So now when Russia doesn't like Trump's proposals, Putin just goes to scratch his nuclear balls demonstratively. That's why Vladimir recently went to inspect his nuclear submarines.

If they also give you the article number that would be very interesting reading for the Z guys.

Yes, you are right. Therefore, it is very strange that the powers of the president in Ukraine are not extended in case of war. Ukraine had a lot of time (since 2014) to pass the necessary laws in parliament. However, they did not do this. This is their mistake that they will have to correct. Vladimir Putin studied law at the University of St. Petersburg (1970-1975). As a lawyer, he will not sign legally incorrect documents.

Most probably you are right. This is ok if you want this war to continue forever. But now it is time to sign legal agreements to stop the war. Any legal agreement must be signed by persons who are authorized to do so by the law. This is why the supreme Z leader Vladimir P. don’t want to sign anything with the expired president.

Zelenskyy is an expired president. Useless similar to an expired Thai visa.
