It doesn't matter if she was a convicted axe-murderer. This wasn't why she was shot dead. Plenty of footage shows that, yes, she disobeyed LEO command to stop and was turning the car onto the road in a manner not threatening the safety of the LEO who stepped in front of the car and shot her through the front window. Lethal force wasn't justified in any way. Heck, they had her plate number and could have apprehended her in hours. But, no, they decided to execute her. Think how scary this is. Say you are in the US and being in the wrong place at the wrong time are caught up in an ICE dragnet. You protest that you are a law-abiding citizen minding his own business. But the ICE agent you are talking to for some reason or who is just having a bad day takes offense to the tone of your voice, doesn't like your face and shoots you through the head for allegedly threatening violence. And, then, FBI and DOJ back him up and local LE is barred from investigating your death, while MAGA media paints you as violent criminal who deserved what he got. North Korea, man!

The poor woman was executed. Zero threat to the LEO who deliberately stepped in front of the car which was turning away and shot the driver. I wouldn't go ra-ra over this whatever your political leaning. You or I could be in a deadly "accidental" confrontation with LE despite our best intentions. USA's becoming one of those shi*hole countries it points fingers at. Not that wild horses could drag me back there.

European wusses should welcome Greenland becoming the 51st state. It would bring massah USA closer to them in nautical miles.

Denmark will defend Greenland against the US with help of its Nato allies. Wait a minute, that doesn't compute. Let's see then, how about a security alliance with Russia? Russian S-500 AA missiles to defend the skies and nuclear submarines to keep US gun boats at bay. Dang, that won't work either. Because Denmark is a vassal state and the US won't allow a defensive alliance with Russia. So Denmark is f*****, Greenland is gone. But what will really be funny is watching Europeans twist into pretzels spinning the takeover as legal and helpful and welcoming the US as a friend who has actually come closer to Europe in nautical miles. But the real enemy, Russia.

Word is the military was bought - there was zero air defense activated against US choppers landing in Caracas. I wonder what the US plan is for the aftermath of the regime change. Hopefully better than the one for Iraq. Or Syria. Like Maduro or not I doubt Venezuelan patriots can be happy at Yankees strong-arming their way into their country. In any case, we have a reading of the new world order - might is right.

Awright Bulgaria, dissent will no longer be tolerated (see Col. Jacques Baud) and any election of an individual unapproved by Brussels will be canceled (see Romania). But count on Germans to work hard to pay your old age pensions. A word to the wise though: if you come across a US State operative carrying bags of money telling you what a threat Russia is and that you need to go to war, beat him/her to a pulp with a stick. Trust me now, thank me later.

BBC quotes a French couple at the bar: They claim one of the waitresses had put "birthday candles" on top of some champagne bottles, one of which was then held up. "In a matter of seconds, the entire ceiling was ablaze. Everything was made of wood," they say. Even since the NY night bombings in Bkk at Victory Monument, near where I live, I wait till 12:05am to go into a club or bar. Added: Not to mention a similar nightclub blaze on NY night at Thonglor or thereabouts.

To pursue the metaphor at risk of being banned for life from AN, the Nazis did indeed want the Jews to succeed in that success means to burn bright. Btw, I gave you a thumbs up. Humor is always welcome.

Alan, ole buddy, I wouldn't cite Newsweek. Or Time or NYT or WaPo or any US-based neocon outlet. That would be like asking a Nazi's view of the Holocaust. Not that there aren't fair and unbiased observers in the US. But then you would need to take your blinkers off and go find them.

Nato/Ukraine: We're being bombed, killed and beaten all along the front. Therefore we demand the following concessions for hostilities to stop. And here's a 28-point list of demands you need to meet or we'll surrender and your troops will looks stupid with nothing to shoot at. Russia: Zis very confusing.

Good Lord. You gotta learn when to quit.

It's in Lutsk, W. Ukraine, brainiac. There're no press gangs rounding up terrified young men and women in Russia to send to the front to die. The thousands of Russians you see in Phuket are those that used to go the Med coast but now with visa issues are everywhere else, Phuket, Samui, Goa, Da Nang, Wonsan-Kalma, ...

For a little comic relief, here's a press gang chasing down a couple of patriotic, I guess, Ukrainians. Danged people don't want to die. How ungrateful can you be after your country's received billions from the West?

When I see invective I understand the argument's lost. Zis not true. I am 100% Amerikanski. I am Amerikan batriot.

Jeez, BL, the war didn't start in 2022. See the 2014 CIA-orchestrated coup in Kiev that tossed an elected leader and replaced him with a puppet and began the Nato-ization of Ukraine. Not to mention the tormenting of the Russians in the east. In any case, here's obese Victoria Nuland of the US State Dept. selecting Ukraine's govt. for them post-coup: Russia wasn't going to put up with this. No superpower would. Think if China made a deal with Mexico for bases on the Gulf. The US would nuke them first and talk later.

I do not disagree, BLM ole buddy. But the difference is that Trump didn't send 2 million of his countrymen to die in order to satisfy his paymasters. Ok, I'll take that back if he puts up a Trump Tower in Gaza on the back of the genocide.

Good heavens, no. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near that sh**hole of a country (ma man Trump's words, not mine) with its Nazi-Banderite ideology and pervasive corruption. And I certainly don't envy the current CIA puppet in charge, the little fella. He may be worth half a billion on paper (thanks, US taxpayers including me). But he's not going to be around long to enjoy the lucre. Loved ones of the 2 million Ukrainians he sent to their death will make sure of that.

Gentlemen, Please. My post was in no way derogatory. Have you ever tried playing the piano, or any other instrument for that matter, with your dingdong? The little fella is undoubtedly gifted. And by all accounts now wildly rich.

At least the little fella is making zillion times more money now than those days.

Hooker: You heppy, Auto dahling? Me: Yes, very baby. Thanks. Hooker: Can give my present dahling? I hungly go eat now. Me: Sure, here you go. Hooker: Why you give thoong khayak (trash bag)? Me: Your present, baby. 2000 in 10 baht coins. 200 coins. Hooker turning red: You klezy, Auto? Me: No, baby. Your government is. I have a coin counting machine next to the bed. Feel free to use it baby.

Ah, the little fella again. But here's what's really going to happen. Russia will take and annex everything east of the Dniepr plus Odessa and the Black Sea coast. By force. Ukraine will be left a country bereft of access to the sea, bereft of its most fertile and mineral-rich provinces, bereft of its most industrialized provinces. About as potent if you will as a ladyboy without a cock. The West better come to terms with this. The 20,000 Ukrainian men fleeing the frontlines every month already have.

Is there some way to send money to the families of killed or wounded Thai soldiers? Least way can do for those defending the land we call home.

Also the fact that he hasn't signed on to their proxy war with Russia. And the fact that war's a lost cause now pisses them off even more with Orban.

Aw right, another color revolution try. But it won't be the same without the enormously fat Victoria Nuland on the ground handing out cookies to protestors and John McCain telling them how the US has got their back.

Live by genocide, die by, well, mini-genocides. Here and there.
