I know NATO has to assist when a member is attacked, but is that also the case when a member decides to attack another country?
I don't think so
The USA will easily manufacture a Gulf of Tonkin incident.

Why should Trump care about what NATO? Why is the US even still in NATO? Or do you think Russia is a threat to the USA?
NATO is importatnt to the USA.
NATO will have to (Article 5) assist the USA when it attacks China over Taiwan.
That's why Trump is so insistant that NATO Europe re-arm to 5% GDP.
There were NATO troops in Afghanistan.
Luxembourg even sent two military men.

No, not at all. I am referring to Rutte's embarrassing e-mail to Trump, and furthermore his unconditional praising of him when he arrived at the NATO meeting.
That "daddy"-comment has a context.
That email was indeed embarrassingly servile.
He could have praised Trump without writing this bizarre groveling email.

Why do you think Estonian defense intelligence is not reliable?
The three Baltic states hate Russia and will do everything to prompt NATO to start WWIII with Russia.
The Estonian Kaja Kallas, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has openly stated that Russia should be destroyed and parcelled in exploitable (by the West) minor entities.
So, NO, whatever they say up there in the Baltic is not reliable.

The Russian army is unable to break through in eastern Ukraine and is compensating for limited progress on the front by carrying out airstrikes on residential areas, states Colonel Ants Kiviselg, Commander of the Defense Forces Intelligence Center of Estonia.
“The Russian summer offensive, ongoing for two months mainly in eastern Ukraine, has essentially bogged down in fierce Ukrainian defense and turned into a tactical-level combat operation, where the Russians try to keep pushing forward despite heavy losses,” he noted.
He also added that the Russian offensive in the Sumy region has been largely halted by Ukrainian defenders, despite Russia’s initial gains in that direction.

Mark Rutte wants every NATO to go for 5% of their GDP.
3.5% will be to buy weapons (mostly from the US MIC)
1.5% is for a not explained "Other".
Other what?
For personal use by Ursula? Zelensky?

Many years ago I looked into a foreign account at bbl. It was burdensome and expensive. Highly not recommend unless you don't mind wasting money for convenience.
Since some 25 years I have maintained a Citibank SIN USD FCD account.
It's where my salary used to be deposited.
A year ago I looked into bringing that FCD account to Bangkok Bank in BKK.
I inquired in person with BB HQ in Silom BKK.
BB FCD very burdensome, not practical.
I stay with my very convenient Citi SIN USD FCD account.
Very, very easy to manage.

Before Trump the US and Europe were suffering from a co$tly Zelen$ky addiction.
Now it's only Europe that needs a solid rehab.

I used a lawyer.
Most people I believe have nothing.
A response often is: my embassy will take care it. Ignorant.
This thread is about a LIVING WILL.
Not a LAST WILL.😀

I'm a very senior farang.
A Living Will is a must at any age.
In 2014 I made a Living Will.
I re-newed that LW last year using the same template (Sample 1).
My then TGF, now my wife in both LW named as Proxy.
You need two Thai witnesses (name, ID, signed).
You do not need a lawyer.
That Sample 1 Form is officially accepted.
Sample 1 in EN

I emphasized strongly to my wife that I want my Living Will respected.

Yes. He did once get in a road rage about an ambulance trying to get by him.

more of these fireworks would be really nice to celebrate victory day
My family suffered from the German invasion of Belgium.
Some killed by the Wehrmacht in combat.
I thank the brave Russian and Allied soldiers who died for the Liberation of Europe.
I see that tgw does not like Moscow's Victory Day over nazism.
No doubt a nostalgic like the Kyiev Azov Banderas...

10 minutes ago, ronster said:Did they ever look into his elephant sanctuary and how he was affording a million bht a month rent for his house 🤔🙄
Yes, they did.
All elephants except one were "rented" from peasants in the Province who use them to work their land.
So, not a real "sanctuary"...
The "stairs" were illegaly build by him on public beach land and thus he had no right to them.
He has money...
Seems like most on this thread find it inconsequential to kick a Thai woman's butt.

Only those who read nothing but the Washington Post, the New York Times… who watch CNN, the BBC — in short, those who blindly believe whatever the media vomit out — fail to see the truth in the Colonel Douglas’ words, and therefore the tragic catastrophe that is about to destroy Ukraine.
Russia has defeated NATO — just as all independent experts had predicted.
That’s where we are now.
Zelensky must go. Elections must be held. Ukraine and Russia need to find common ground… unfortunately for Ukraine and the West, that will mean accepting most of the conditions imposed by the Kremlin.
Yes! The Peace Talks will not go anywhere soon as long as the Green T-shirt is representing Ukraine.
By Constitutional Law he is forbidden to hold talks with Putin, anyway.
In a way I think the feet-dragging suits Putin as it gives him time to go occupy Odessa, a Russian city.
He could then disenclave Transnistria, the ethnic Russian ex-Moldavia separatist land.
I'm a Belgian citizen.
I stand with Putin and Russia.
100%
And I love Colonel Douglas Macgregor and Glenn Diesen.

Excellent work

Not a problem for me as I have already agreed with my Thai wife, my partner for over 40 years, that when my time comes, either through illness or old age, I will not bie taken anywhere near a hospital. I will stay at home living as comfortably as possible until I expire. Younger people may take a different view. I would only advise you to think long and hard before committing money to an insurance policy which you may never need.
I'm about your age. I have no health insurance since I retired in LOS at age 50.
I too would rather go away in our home.
Most important, I have a Living Will. In Thai and English on the TH govt aprouved form that you can download on the Net.
Make sure you have one. You only need two TH witnesses.
I told my wife I want my $$$ to go to her after I die and not to waste on expensive care to prolong my life of a little time if it comes to that

Reminds me of that Pattaya well-known German guy years ago. Among other businesses he was running the huge Bavaria restaurant on Pattaya Walking Street (sea side).
The local Thai officials declared him persona non grata for some legal reasons and wanted him out of Pattaya and Thailand but the guy had powerful reach and it took quite a while until a provincial official with some leverage could force him to go back to his native Bavaria or wherever.
It's some years ago but, maybe, some old timers remember. No Internet and forum back then. The saga ran in the Pattaya English news tabloid.

Reading glasses 100 baht on Lazada
I bought mine many years ago at a stall in a Pattaya market. I think I paid 100 baht a pair about.
Rated for reading :125 and 150. I tried 175 but it's too much for me.
Before moving back to BKK and then Ubon I bought a few (many!) pairs.
Eventually, they do get scratched and I throw them away.
I've looked at Lazada and, indeed, I would buy cheap there if I need new ones.
I have no need for an expensive oculist shop and for "prescription" glasses even though I'm a very senior guy...😀

I have a Euro FCD with CitiBank in Singapore since 2001. Excellent service. I recommend Citi. Note that there is a maintenance fee for accounts below USD 200k or equivalent.
I thought of opening an FCD with BKK Bank in Thailand and went to their main office in BKK to talk about it. Totally inconvenient and impractical BKK Bank FCD compared to my Citi SIN account. I didn't pursue the idea.

This is a proxy war between the US and Russia.
Either the US prevails in Ukraine or Russia does.
I wish that Russia wins.
The EU is vassal to the US and NATO is the armed thug of the US.
Zelensky is a US tool.
And both the US and its UK sidekick would love to see Zelensky "win" and open Ukraine completely to US big corporations.

Activate Windows.
in IT and Computers
Posted
I bought once online from Lazada a low priced no-name laptop with Win 10 preinstalled and fully working.
No need for me to perform any installation and activation.
Worked fine for a couple months and then Win 10 opened with request to activate.
Would not work anymore,
Turns out the pre-installed Win 10 was a limited time factory install.
I binned the thing.
And bought a brand-name new one.
With Win 10 pre-loaded and ready for me to install and activate.
