  1. What Do Ukraine Talks Reveal About Putin's Intentions? That Putin is just stalling endlessly, he’s buying time. He knows his conditions to end the war are not acceptable for Ukraine and Europe. Trump and his cronies don’t give a damn either way, they just want to end it so Trump can get the Nobel peace prize. Obama got one, so Trump wants one as well. Even if it means selling out Ukraine. And Putin knows this very well and is playing Trump as he has been all along.
  2. I’m not sure it’s loyalty: Trump seems to have a definite liking for dumb blonds.
  3. Not only in Singapore: they never catch the big boys in Thailand either. In all kinds of trafficking (drugs, wildlife, human) they usually just catch the mules, never the people high up who make the big bucks. And if they are caught, these people have the money to buy themselves out of trouble. Don’t know if that is possible in Singapore, but certainly in Thailand: if they have enough money, people can literally get away with murder.
  4. The height of stupidity would be you saying that calling for military personnel to disobey orders is the hight of stupidity. Maybe you should watch the video before making ludicrous claims. These six Democrats, all veterans, by the way, simply reminded soldiers of their DUTY to disobey UNLAWFUL ORDERS.
  5. “Trump Defends Saudi Crown Prince Over Khashoggi Murder” Of course he does, because he admire ‘strong leaders’ and wishes he could do the same to all his ‘enemies’. What a vile specimen of human excrement that man is, he keeps finding new lows to stoop to.
  6. It’s what they do. Shoot the messenger and protect the racists, pedophiles, bigots, criminals, and so on and so forth. The racists and bigots have come crawling out of the woodwork, they feel emboldened by Trump and what his regime is doing.
  7. She’s been a whacko since she was elected in 2021 (and probably long before), but I never heard a peep out of you, because she always toed the Trump line like a good little MAGA girl. Now that she’s standing up to Trump regarding the Epstein files she’s like a Democrat all of a sudden?
  8. I have said this before here: I don’t care who’s in the files, if it’s Clinton, Bill Gates, Trump or the pope himself. If they are guilty, they ALL need to be locked up for a very long time. I assume most ‘liberals’ feel the same way, as opposed to MAGA, who will go,to any length to protect the pedophile in the WH and all his rich cronies who are guilty as sin, and they just want to lock up liberals like Clinton.
  9. Does anyone know of any (successful) long covid treatment in Thailand? If so, I would really like like to know about it.
  10. Ever heard of due process? You don’t care that the constitution, that you people claim to hold so dear, was violated to send those people there? Some of whom were legal immigrants, by the way. And even criminals/prisoners deserve a minimal standard of treatment. I’m quite sure that torture is not part of that. The constitution is not for cherry picking, you know. You have to adhere to the whole thing, 100%, not just the parts that you like or don’t like.
  11. Thanks! I will go to immigration with this and see what they say.
  12. If it changes from 60-day exempt to 30-day exempt (which I don’t expect on such short notice), I will have to cross the border where there is a Thai consulate and then apply for a 60-day tourist visa, or a 90-day non immigrant. How’s that for a plan B?
  13. If this is your idea of ‘discussions’ maybe you should get out your dictionary and look up the definition of discussion. You only start these threads so you can insult everyone who dares post/reply something you don’t like.
  14. Trump is neck-deep in the Epstein files. Why do you think all his lackeys are trying so hard to prevent them from being released? If I were Trump and had nothing to hide, why not release the files? Same with his tax returns. If you’ve got nothing to hide, just release them. The fact that he goes to extraordinary lengths to keep the Epstein files (and his tax returns) from being released speaks volumes.
  15. What’s with all the inane questions? You must be bored out of your skull. And why do you even care? Is it any skin off your nose why people want to live somewhere that you wouldn’t want to live? Just because you don’t understand why someone would want to live out in the sticks doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile. The ‘real world’ as you call it has different meanings to different people. Lead your own life, instead of judging others left and right.

  17. Even if they do get a job, do you know how many people who have a job, often full time, receive SNAP? Companies like Walmart and Target have many employees that are on SNAP. So the American tax payer is subsidizing companies that make profits in the billions of dollars. Walmart 12 billion dollars last year alone. Of the taxes that the average American pays, 36 dollars a year go to SNAP. And MAGA and the right are going ballistic over this. But of the taxes that average American pays, more than 700 dollars goes to big companies like Walmart. If you want get mad at something, get mad at that, because it’s insane!
  18. I always wonder how the mind of a numbnuts like that works. Wanted in Germany for a robbery, and practically begging the police here to arrest him. And then be deported back to Germany, where he goes straight to prison. Not the shiniest coin in the fountain, that’s for sure.
  19. I think I found them, they’re called Lime Tour, they do a border run to Myanmar. It’s a bit pricy, but you’re done in one day, leave Hua Hin at 07:30, return at 20:30. I think that would be the best option for me. Thanks again!
  20. Thanks for all the info, guys, you’ve been most helpful. I will look into that option, since Ranong is the closest to Hua Hin by far.
