https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62677262 Russia's president has signed a decree which could see 137,000 service personnel added to the country's armed forces in the coming months. Currently Russia has a limit of just over a million military personnel and almost 900,000 civilian staff. Vladimir Putin's decree comes amid a recruitment drive around the country, with large cash incentives on offer. Western officials say 70-80,000 troops have been killed or wounded since Russia invaded Ukraine six months ago. There have been reports that recruiters have even been visiting prisons, promising inmates freedom and money. But it said "very limited levels of popular enthusiasm for volunteering for combat in Ukraine" meant it would be difficult to find the required number of troops.

I don't think that Putin has forgotten his 7,000 plus nuclear missiles or the red button. It is a mutual deterrent and IMHO he would be willing to use it rather than lose. The direct effects of his missiles going off plus the allies missiles as well including the nuclear fall out would be enough to decimate the majority of the world, especially if China joins in. Perhaps India and Pakistan would also try to wipe each other out and maybe the Israeli's would toss a few of their missiles into Gaza.

A simple answer for you. If you think it might be scam, then don't donate anything at all. Many others on here don't think it is a scam and are donating.

I am not sure if the NATO charter would permit attacking Russia directly.

What is your alternative then? Abandon the Ukraine to the tender mercies of Putin? And if then Putin attacks Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany do you simply stand by and let him take those countries, just in case he presses that red button?

Actually Lazada does ot sell anything. What they are is an online market place for thousands of places to advertise. If you buy something it is the place you buy it from that sets the price and they choose their own delivery methods/companies. You don't even pay Lazada as they get a small commission on every transaction and the payment you make goes directly to the shop/company you are buying from.

Fortunately here in the big village in rural Kamphaeng Phet we have 3 hardware shops like that 2 are allied to the 2 cement works and the other also sells tractor parts, I use 2 on a regular basis as they will sell me exactly the number of nuts, bolts, washers etc that I want and they know where to find it. I buy most of my hardware, truck and motorcycle batteries, torches, led lights, spares for my weed whackers, blue water pipes etc from them. We have one bottle shop, one 7/11, a selection of motorbike repair shops, one medium size, 2 daily markets, 3 weekly markets, various food cars that go out to the smaller moo bans in the early mornings. One good thing is that they all take cash, some take credit/debit cards, some use swipe cards etc. I only go up to Kamphaeng Phet once a month for a bulk shop at Makro/ BigC to get western stuff which I can't find locally.

I am not sure if the provincial governors have that sort of power over the RTP. It may be that it can only be done at the highest levels of the RTP. If so, then nothing will change.

More like a farce. Nothing will change for the better, only for the worst. BTW Prayuth promoted himself To minister of defence when he was PM. Now he is now longer the PM, is he still the minister of defence?

I disagree with you on that. It is the responsibility of the RTP and not that of the governor. What should happen, but won't, is that the most senior police officer in the district should be removed from his post without ANY pay or allowances, and his deputy given his post. The deputy would be given 2 weeks to sort it out before he is also removed from post and so on. It IS their job and they are not doing it.

I was taught RI at school for 1 hour a week by a normal teacher (Mr Fowler IIRC) from 1955 to 1959. It was one of the very few lessons we shared with the girls school.

Unfortunately there was not much difference between my lan cable, 3BB lan cable and a new cat 5e cable I bought. Both my previous lan cable and the 3BB cable worked on the 3BB laptop but neither worked on my pc. The new cat 5e cable I bought gave a small improvement yet the 25 metre cable to my son's pc is perfect, except when I plug my lan cable into his slot on the 3BB router.

My marriage extension is due for renewal on 25 November 2022 and probably around that date in 2023. My passport expires 17 June 2024 and I will apply for a new passport probably in early January 2024. I know from the experience that the visa extension is only valid until the expiry date of my passport. This extension will be fine but the next extension will only run until 14 June 2024 and not until October 2024. I will need to go to Immigration with my new passport to get extended until October and I should be good for another 9 years from then. Your passport will be valid until its expiry date and if it is renewed early it will run until yor current expiry date + 10 years.

I followed the advice of one poster and eventually took my pc to the shop I bought it from and gave them hard and soft copies of the work I wanted done. After a couple of hours I went back and they had cured my Windows update problem, expanded my C drive and fixed a few other little problems as well. Sadly they have not fixed my ethernet download problem though the upload is excellent. The cost of the work done (including the techie bringing my pc into the shop and then putting it back in my truck), FREE. Thank you Advice computers Kamphaeng Phet. Thank you to all of the posters who sent in useful suggestions, and no thanks at all to the poster who suggested that I was a troll. He supposedly tried to help me a year or so ago, but he was so arrogant and ignorant, that after 3 tries of doing things (exactly) his way I gave up and ignored his advice.

There is NO President Trump at all. There is an ex President Trump who LOST the last election for POTUS.

What about the rights of the 2 people he murdered? What about the rights of the child who saw her parents brutally murdered in front of her, or don't they matter to you? IMHO, he forfeited ALL his rights when he turned on the couple and stabbed them. There is NO justification for that at all.

I bow to your wonderful imagination and lack of research. If you are going to state something like this, try a little research first. It may stop you looking somewhat foolish. quote "Thailand has never picked sides. Have never sent Military to aid any other country during wars." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_Thailand So according to you, Thailand was never involved in The Chinese civil war from 1949 to 1961 The Korean war from 1950 to 1953 The Vietnam war from 1955 to 1975 The Communist emergency in Thailand from 1965 to 1983 The Cambodian civil war from 1968 to 1975 The communist emergency in Malaya from 1968 to 1989 The Third Indo China war from 1975 to 1991 Vietnamese Border raids in Thailand 1979 to 1989 The Thai-Laotion border war 1987 to 1988 The Persian Gulf war 1990 to 1991 International Force in East Timor from 199 to 2000 Operation Enduring Freedom in the Horn of Africa from 2002 to the present

My IO wants actual photos glued to A4.

No, the police are the thin skinned ones.

How to bring happiness and reconciliation to the Thai people? Punish them.

Plus it is as heavy as pushing an elephant. Mine is banished to the shed where it has been for years. I replaced the blades with cut down pickup rear springs and it is OK on smooth flat ground but very heavy on any slope.

Perhaps I am. It has been a long odd day for me.

And the most laughable thing is that Garland is a Republican, personally appointed by your hero, Donald Trump.

My wife normally leaves the call for 15 minutes or so before she rings in. I have called them as well and though they speak little or no English I tell them the moo ban and they do understand that.
