Believe/s??  Many people also believe in the Tooth Fairy, but there exists no evidence.

U.S. intelligence showed Iran-backed Shi'ite militias positioning rockets near bases housing U.S. forces, according to two Iraqi security sources.

What no WMD's this time or troops massing on the border with Saudi Arabia ready to strike at any moment (even though the CIA said there was no evidence at all, even from spy satelites etc and no one to this day has found the WMD's.

Bolton and his "crazies" (the neo-cons) would be better suited to writing fairy tales or Marvel comics (apologies Marvel, I know your stories are slightly believable)!

In those famous words that have rung through the century "Yankee go home"!

Yes... but it gets the clicks and that's all this forum (or its new masters) really care about..

I personally think this is the worst thing this forum could do.  If someone in govt here could read English (lol) such a flawed survey result could prompt the govt to force it on all long term visa/extension of stay types thinking we all want it.

Was it intentional or could they just have been trying to get ahead of the merging car?

I wondered the same.

Nixon's madman theory revisited??

There really is a very simple explanation.  You see all the revving noise and smoke keeps the bad spirits away from the blessing however such activities should never be attempted on a Monday, a Wednesday nor when wearing anything green unless a large donation is made beforehand to the local wat.

The U.S. military said on Tuesday that B-52 bombers would be part of additional forces being sent to the Middle East to counter what the Trump administration says are "clear indications" of threats from Iran to U.S. forces there.

Well maybe the US should get out of the Middle East.  They have no business being there.  I am sure that if the Iranians decided to build up forces in Mexico there would be "clear indications" of threats from the US too.

This Thai is not related to John Bolton by any chance??

Contraband and drought are unrelated in this video it seems, except to those with a noticible resentment.

I mentioned drought in regard to the farmers recent plight which was ignored by the govt.  In the video the news reporter clearly states at the 14 sec mark "risking Australia's 60 billion dollar agricultural industry".  (agriculture and farmers go together...get it?)  You did watch the video first didnt you?

I am having similar problems with Kaspersky.  Whenever I connect to ThaiVisa I get a message from Kaspersky saying they have blocked the page due to "Threat of Data Loss"  It only happens on TV.  My provider is 3BB (fibre) and I am running windows 7 ultimate.  Anybody else having problems?

Not as black and white as you insinuate. There was a democratically elected parliament, that challenged and held Maduro accountable. He didn't like that so he formed a new separate "Assembly" of members appointed by him and said this was now over parliament. In effect he made himself a dictator, with support form the judiciary, military and a sham Presidential election in which rivals were arrested, imprisoned or intimidated.

 

The "baddies" as you out it, support this dictator.

Interesting.  Can you point me to a source?  (I am interested, not being a "clever bottom").

lso training in motorcycle usage and awareness should start in the kindergarten.

I think that is a sound idea.....especially considering most up my way start riding m/cycles when in kindergarten!

I spent years "on the road" and when finances got short I would look for work or move to a country where work was allowed.  They are actually some of my best experiences looking back.  I would never dream of begging or even trying to borrow from friends/family.

I do however realise that sometimes all your best plans sometimes go pear shaped and you need to ask for help.  Problem is sometimes some people take advantage and then make it hard on those who really do need help.  Example is a guy I know who has lived off borrowed money from month to month for years.  But it hasnt been just to survive.  Its so he can be seen on Facebook staying in 5 star hotels in popular tourist spots on weekends and holidays.  All about show.  Not long ago his Thai wife got sick and needed an operation.  Even though he already owed money to most of his friends he went around crying to borrow more so his wife could get better.  At the same time his family back home set up a GoFundMe supported by the same sad story.  However what most didnt realise is he was still driving around in his new "sports" car that he refuses to sell!!

The "baddies" ie Russia, China and Cuba are calling for more dialogue to resolve the issue.  The "goodies" ie the USA and the EU are talking uprisings and military action??  Doesnt that strike you as odd?

In addition, in every news article, great lengths are gone to in explaining what countries support what side but rarely a mention of who the people actually support.

But have they checked that the Chinese actually enjoy the taste and long term affects of paraquat and glyphosate etc?

Every American should have the right to defend themselves against...…...other Americans! How sad is that! 

As time goes by and considering the historical actions of the US govts I am beginning to wonder if Americans feel the need to be heavily armed in order to protect themselves against their own government.

A good time to not burn is when you see lots of Thais wearing helmets on motor cycles or not driving drunk, otherwise just go ahead (if you must).

Anyone who wears his cap backwards has got to be dodgy??!! lol

Washington needed Haftar's "support in building democratic stability there in the region."

"building democratic stability"  nowadays that seems to be  code word for bombing the country back to the stone age.   One can clearly see the results of the US's aid to 'democratic stability' in Syria and Iraq today.

President Donald Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, said on Friday he would deliver a speech in Miami to Cuban exiles on Wednesday about actions the White House is taking on Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, countries he has called a "troika of tyranny."

  John Bolton is a neo-conservative whose philosophy includes spreading myths designed to spread fear in order to strengthen the states power and control.

Maybe they could launch another Bay of Pigs type invasion of Venezuela where the people then rise up to overthrow their supposed unpopular leader......oh no thats right, the US got that wrong as well and then had to invade defenseless Grenada to try to hide their humiliation...again.
