https://www.ushmm.org/learn/timeline-of-events/1939-1941/german-invasion-of-poland Actually Germany started WW2 by invading Poland. " Germany invades Poland, initiating World War II in Europe. German forces broke through Polish defenses along the border and quickly advanced on Warsaw, the Polish capital. Hundreds of thousands of refugees, both Jewish and non-Jewish, fled the German advance hoping the Polish army could halt the German advance. But, after heavy shelling and bombing, Warsaw surrendered to the Germans within a month of the German attack. Soviet forces quickly annexed most of eastern Poland, while western Poland remained under German occupation until 1945. Britain and France, standing by their guarantee of Poland's border, declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939. While Germany invaded western Poland, Russia attacked and invaded eastern Poland. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/soviet-union-invades-poland#:~:text=On September 17%2C 1939%2C Soviet,and occupation of eastern Poland. THIS DAY IN HISTORY SEPTEMBER 17 1939 September 17 Soviet Union invades Poland On September 17, 1939, Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov declares that the Polish government has ceased to exist, as the U.S.S.R. exercises the “fine print” of the Hitler-Stalin Non-aggression pact—the invasion and occupation of eastern Poland. Little did Poles know that a secret clause of that pact, the details of which would not become public until 1990, gave the U.S.S.R. the right to mark off for itself a chunk of Poland’s eastern region. The “reason” given was that Russia had to come to the aid of its “blood brothers,” the Ukrainians and Byelorussians, who were trapped in territory that had been illegally annexed by Poland.

But whose truth is it? But why are they suffering. Could it be because Russia invaded a peaceful neighbour with one of the weakest excuses I have heard in years. Putin thought that the Ukraine and that his WAR would soon be over and that he would win with the minimum of casualties. It doesn't seem like that could happen. The war could be over in a week or two. All Putin has to do is surrender and leave ALL of the Ukraine including Crimea and hand over all the soldiers who have committed atrocities. It won't happen of course as he would lose in the Thai term "too much face". He doesn't care about casualties, military or civilian, Russian or Ukrainian as they are just meaningless numbers to him. His desire is to be the Tsar of Tsars lording it over all of Russia and as much of Europe that he can steal. If he is not stopped in the Ukraine, then where will he go next? Poland, Finland, Germany?

I suspect that they have also not forgotten how the Russians halted their offensive outside Warsaw so that the Nazis, the SS and the Gestapo could eliminate the Polish Jews still fighting there in the ghetto. It is also not forgotten how the Russians refused to let the RAF drop supplies to the ghetto either.

What a very small sad person you are. You managed to say all that about the wests politicians and insulting anybody and everybody, All that without a single link. Russia has NEVER been a part of Europe as the greater part of the country is in Asia. You will never deal with Putin as you are to small and insignificant to even show up on a radar map anywhere, but if that is what you truly believe, then go for it, delusions and all.

Interesting. quote from the link "Tornado was disbanded in June 2015 and 12 of its members were arrested and are now on trial behind closed doors in Kyiv's Obolon district court. The defendants include the defunct unit's leader, Ruslan Onyshchenko, a burly fighter with at least three former criminal convictions who also led a battalion previously disbanded after charges that it had pillaged towns under its control." "While questions remain as to individual guilt, there is little doubt that the battalion -- motivated, locals and detectives argue, not by patriotism but by a penchant for anarchy and contempt for eastern Ukrainians they deemed to be pro-Russian -- cultivated a climate of fear and intimidation in the communities it was supposed to protect." It seems as the Ukraine HAS actually done something about them.

Tell that to all the nations in the world going back in history as far as the Jews and the Egyptians, the Romans , Gauls, Franks, Vikings Huns, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Normans, Mongols, Arabs, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Dutch, Belgium, Germany, Hindus, Sikhs, Moslems, Protestants, Catholics etc. Not to mention all the African tribes slaughtering each other and indiscriminately killing each other, or selling their captives into slavery. It was history and you can't change it. Yes, you can overwrite it but it doesn't mean it didn't happen or that by ignoring it, it will go away. That was then, but this is now. quote from your post "you might also like to read about the torture and rape squads Ukraine sent out before the invasion, no one is squeaky clean." Do you have any proof of that, links etc or are we expected to just take your words as gospel?

But each time it was NOT the Thai people who said and did this. It was and is their leaders both of whom, were/and are military https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaek_Phibunsongkhram of the Thai Ratsadon Military faction during WW2, and this time Prayuth and his theft of Thailand from the Thai people, who are and always have been, the problem in Thailand.

I have a fibre optic link from the house to the 3BB router 740 metres away. My package is 1Gb download and 300Mb upload on LAN.. Attached is a screenshot taken just after 7pm tonight. I got 3BB to come to my house to test the system. Using their cable and laptop it was great. Using my LAN cable and their laptop, it was great. Using my LAN cable or theirs the upload was great but the download was less that 100 Mb. I replaced my LAN cable with a cat5E cable and it has not improved as much as I hoped. My son's pc on the end of a 20 metre ordinary LAN cable is fine both upload and download. Ring the 3BB call centre and they may be able to talk you through the problem. If that doesn't fix it, get 3BB to come to you, as it may be a problem at your end. I took my Acer AIO desktop back to the shop and they tweaked it but it is still not brilliant.

FBI found more than 11,000 government records at Trump's Florida home
billd766 replied to onthedarkside's topic in World News
But WHERE do you hear these people? If, as you post, they are from President Biden's cult, whatever that is, did they start the talking or are they simply responding to Trump's cult, whatever that is. The reason I ask, is that Trump's cult are the ones issuing threats and mayhem if he is even arrested, let alone if he is found guilty and jailed. How many would back up their words with deeds is not easy to know as many people talk the talk, but not necessarily walk the walk. Are they Democrat civilians, Dem politicians local and national? Or are they Republican civilians, Republicans politicians local and national? If, as you post, they are from It helps if you clarify your post. PS It is also polite to capitalise a persons name. -
Is Gen Prawit maneuvering to become Thailand’s next PM?
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Some times they get the government that they voted for, even twice in a row, and then along comes the military to stage a coup. Then the Thai people get what the military want to give them and not what they want or voted for as happened the last time when the military won by openly cheating, IMHO is that when the next election comes along the military won't be able to cheat so easily, nor will the EC and the other agencies, nor the bottom feeding minnow parties. Besides more of the dinosaurs and the ultra royalists will be dying off and the younger, smarter generations will be taking over, then hopefully Thailand and the Thai people will have a better and brighter future. -
Bangkok to have "different looking Zebras" - but will people stop?
billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Perhaps a large cluster of flashing leds and sirens 50 metres from the crossing as a warning system. Then a 1 inch steel plate, 1 metre high with spikes facing the oncoming traffic across the entire width of the road, and another 1 inch steel plate with no spikes for 10 metres alongside the road would help. -

While they are in power perhaps they do and they also know what may happen when, and not if, they lose that power and control. -

Actually the Thai people don't have the government that they deserve. What they DO have is a government foisted on them by lies and cheating, and the Thai people don't deserve that. -

billd766 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Perhaps because the people in control now, are terrified about what may happen when they lose that power and control. IMHO they truly believe that they are the only ones capable of running the country. It is correct that they are running the country, but very badly and in which direction, nobody knows, not even themselves. -

This may well be why the LM law and the ultra royalist have been so prominent over the pat several years. They feel that their power and control is waning whilst not realising or caring about the damage that they are doing to the country and the Thai people,
