  1. IMHO it would be a lawyers dream. If the next tanker had a security team which was armed, and a member of the hijackers was injured during the hijacking or piracy whilst the ship is in international waters, at least 1,000 miles away from US waters, how could the USA explain that away? The sanctions were imposed by the USA only, NOT internationally, so whoever issued the order would be the guilty party. It could never be Trump, as he would simply blame anybody else, and disown them.
  2. IMHO it is piracy, and state sponsored piracy at that, by the USA, who IIRC were going loopy when Somali pirates were doing the same thing off the coast of Africa.
  3. Especially state sponsored terrorism, war crimes and crimes against humanity by Israel. not to mention genocide, starvation and slaughtering women, children and babies. or don't they matter to you or the IDF, which was described by Netanyahu as the most moral army in the world.
  4. Out of curiosity, just now many tourists actually ARE harassed and denied entry per year. As far as I can read up on it, there are only a very small number, and those are the ones causing the problem. Perhaps the number is as low as or lower than 0.1% or even 0.01%. The majority of genuine tourists don't seem to have any problem entering Thailand, but they are genuine tourists and not border hoppers.
  5. More Israeli propaganda. Nobody can make Israel look worse than what Israel is doing itself.
  6. As I see it, Harry can have as much security in the UK as HE wants to pay for. However he does not seem to want to pay with his own money, but he does want the security protection that the UK taxpayers will have to pay for. For someone who does not work or even live in the UK, that is a bit over the top. Very few people like or want him there, so if he wants to come, let him pay for the security out of his own pocket.
  7. Don't you just hate it when people and international organisations tell the truth. Well if that is propaganda, why don't YOU tell us all which country HAS killed more journalists than Israel, along with the verifiable links proving it? After all, we only have your unsupported word that it is propaganda.
  8. And when they find nothing amiss, will you be among the first to ask them (whoever "they" are) to investigate Trump's finances?
  9. How sad that you think I follow you around. However before I look at a thread, first I see if I am interested, then I look who started the thread and in what forum, and who was the last poster, then it depends on if I am still interested. IF you are in are in the thread I may even bother to read your post/ You seem to have an over inflated opinion of yourself.
  10. More BS from one of the usual suspects. Please explain just who classifies the information? Especially if the order is illegal? BY who made YOU the Grand Poo Bah to tell me that I am forgiven for not knowing the law?
  11. What a load of cobblers. How can telling the truth be an act of espionage? If it is true it exposes a war crime. If is is not true, then there is nothing to gain or lose by exposing it. So, like the unredacted Epstein files, release it. Bu not releasing it, makes Trump and the administration look guilty, whether they are or not.
  12. And it has. Most of them are on my ignore list. The list of people who I cannot be bother with. The list of appeasers, whiners and Trump supporters, or to use an easier term, "the usual suspects". Origin Movie Quote: From the 1942 film Casablanca, said by Captain Renault (Claude Rains) in exasperation, telling his police to find the usual troublemakers.
  13. Not really. If you know that you are going on holiday to Thailand, when you book your flight ticket, book 20,000 Thai baht or any currency you want at the bank as well. It is called forward planning, which is what sensible people do. Of course, you could always take a chance, get lucky, then try using your credit card to pay the public transport charge. Cash may not be king in many peoples eyes, but it does grease the wheels in many countries, including Thailand.
  14. So despite your bluster, you actually carry cash as well, just in case.
  15. I always carry and use cash. Then again, I am not a tourist.
  16. And there ate illegal workers in Thailand who try to support their family and work 2 to 12 hours a day for 400 baht, Yet she is whining about the rules being enforced. Boo Hoo. My heart pumps purple p1ss for her.
  17. What is wrong with these whining people nowadays? They won't let mw in because I cannot produce 20,00 thb or its equivalent. So what was she going to live on for her holiday? Beg for money and food on the street and sleep on the beach or in a park? Grow up, read the rules, and if you don't have the money to live on, don't go on holiday. If you have the money for a mobile phone, and money for the air ticket, but you can't produce 20,000 baht, then you can't afford a holiday. Stop crying and bleating about it because nobody cares about you.
  18. IMHO I think that the USA will recover from the Trump administration, nut it will take years and perhaps decades to do so, and only then, IF the gop grows a spine, and IF the democrats evert recover. Having said that, I also think that ALL the current members of the house should compulsory be retired at age 60 and NO president should serve more that 2 terms and if the second term happens in the 60th year, they should ONLY serve 1 term, no matter what political party they come from, nor how good or bad they are.
  19. All can see on the photo id a boy holding a gun. I have no idea if the gun is real or a toy. nor do I have any idea who the boy is, nor his nationality. I don't even know if the photo is real or fake, And YOU think that photo is proof of what?
  20. It is easy to give away a land and a people that are not yours, to the enemy of your country. Doing the right thing, however, is not quite the same thing, nor is it as easy.
  21. Yet IF the National Guard had NOT been sent there in the first place, then the incident would not have happened. Now, I think that the small minded idiots will send in the National Guard more often and create more opportunities more incidents like this to happen. I have noticed that the people who send the Guard in, are NEVER on the front lines themselves.
  22. Yet these young men will be screaming for help from the NATO forces if Germany ever gets attacked and starts to lose. Typical. I want to be safe, but let somebody else protect me in the meantime.
  23. Typical Trump. Praise and help your enemy, but shun your one time friends and allies at the same time.
  24. So ALL the Palestinian women, children and even babies are armed as well? I will give you a break, when you tell the truth, and stop spouting BS.
