Poor try at a diversion. The question I asked was how many countries has Iran invaded?

This is what happens when you stand up against a bully, and the bully decides that you are the stronger. The bully folds and scuttles away to look for weaker victims to prey on. Now if all the countries that Trump is bullying stand together against him he loses completely and everybody except the bully wins. Even the population of the USA win. Only Trump and his sycophants lose, which is how it should be. As for the Trump supporters here on AN, they are shrieking louder and louder and making more and more preposterous claims, in a vain attempt to turn back the tide to their masters version of winning. Oddly enough there doesn't seem to be so many of them lately.

Who says that they can't have nuclear weapons, and why? Israel supposedly has at least 90 nuclear weapons and they have already invaded Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Iran within the last 2 years. How many countries has Iran invaded. There was a treaty, signed, sealed and working, but Trump 1 tore it up.

Just another dumbass US politician shooting his mouth off about things he knows nothing about. Will he stop being a politician, enlist in the military and be in the front of the action? There is an interesting Wikipedia article about him here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fetterman That is of course if people wish to read it all.

AFAIK AI needs a human input to generate an image, again AFAIK AI also needs a human input to access any website, MSM or social media to add the image and to post the image, because at this point, AI is still inanimate and it is unable to actually generate a post itself. If anyone can be blamed. it is the person who posted the picture and the moderators (if any) who allowed the post to be sent in the first place.

Says who? That is NOT true in the slightest, and if YOU believe that, then post the links and the proof of tour claim.

So now you have become the ultimate fount of knowledge all about the constitution of the Ukraine?

What he conveniently omitted to mention was that was actually passed earlier and extended in July 2923. The full text of the link is here, and I have emboldened what I think are the relevant parts On Sunday, Zelenskyy stated that he would step down if it would secure peace for Ukraine, adding that he would also resign if it guaranteed the country’s NATO membership. However, the Ukrainian parliament emphasized on Tuesday that Zelenskyy was elected in a legitimate vote and remains the country’s lawful president. The body further confirmed that national elections will not be held until martial law is lifted following the establishment of a “comprehensive, fair, and sustainable peace.” Ukraine’s constitution prohibits the holding of elections during martial law, which was extended in July 2023, one year after Russia’s full-scale invasion. The resolution underlines that neither the Ukrainian people nor the Verkhovna Rada question Zelenskii’s legitimacy and states that, under the country’s constitution, he must remain in office until a new president is elected. A clever move which only works, if people accept his word and don't bother to open the link and read the full text.

Because Trump/Vance/MAGA supporters will always deny/deflect and ridicule anything that Trump does not like or approve of. There are none so blind, as those who refuse see.

Same old, same old lies and BS from Trump. Well the world did watch, and most of the world didn't believe that BS either.

Yet when the USA needed help other countries in the world stepped up to assist without hesitation, putting their own men and women, regardless of race colour or creed on the line to help. They were. and are, called allies. The fat, useless, orange blob is throwing all that away, stabbing allies in the back, tearing up treaties and treating old allies as enemies, and old enemies as "new" friends. The sad thing about all this, is that people like you are helping him and NOT helping the people of the USA who oppose him and all that he stands for. People like you have elected a convicted criminal, a sex offender and a serial liar into becoming POTUS, and yet you show no shame or remorse.

Whose are "theirs"? Here is a list of robots used in manufacturing (since you seem to lazy to add a link). https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-growth-of-industrial-robots-by-country/

I see that the whiners and moaners are out in force again. What a pity that they didn't comment on Trump's Easter photograph. Then again, I haven't seen one so perhaps he couldn't be bothered to have one made.

As she was overthrown by an illegal military coup, IMHO she has a right to her voice, whether you like it or not, She is Thai, and has a voice and a vote in Thailand, which is more than farangs have.

Perhaps the Thai government did its own research on the current US government and decided that the Gripen was cheaper to buy, cheaper to fly, cheaper to maintain and a better buy all around. Not to mention, that the current US government under Trump is far less trustworthy than the Swedish government.

I fell in love with my Thai wife within a couple of months but it was 7 years before we married. I was working in Thailand during 1993 and 1994 to 1997, with a side trip to Indonesia in 1994. So I guess it was a couple of years. I got sent off to other countries in between jobs in Thailand and elsewhere, and it was a long distance affair for a while, though she did come to me for a month in Sri Lanka and also to France, Germany and the UK.

Not really. You can use the Open With function in MS and it works vert well. That is how I open any MS document into Libre Office. You can also save the document into MS by using the Save As function.

Rubbish. I used to take the National Transport Company bus from the local village to Bangkok. some 350 odd km, for years and had no problem. That was either the lower deck of a 1 1/2 deck bus, or the single deck bus without any problems. How many times have you taken an inter provincial bus?

To have "found myself" in Thailand, assumes that I had lost myself somewhere along the way. Not true in the slightest. What I did "find" in Thailand was my second wife and we will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary next week. She is the best thing I have ever found in my 80 year life.

I am slowly changing MS files to Libre Office as I come across them. MS sucks.

Many years ago I rode my motorbike back from Mae Sot on the Mae Sot to Tak highway before they government improved it. I was going down the hills in 3rd gear with trucks and buses roaring past me, and all I could smell was burning asbestos from brake pads and brake linings. I was glad to get off that road and back on the AH 1/2 towards Kamphaeng Phet to get rid of the smell. Back then it was one of the worst roads in Thailand.

Old (and dying) habits again.

Of course, but old tried and true habits die hard. One truck I used to drive had no synchromesh, a 5 speed gearbox and a 2 speed rear axle. That WAS a bitch to drive and change gear, especially when it was fully loaded. I still find enjoyment in changing gear smoothly and quietly matching engine revs to road speed instead of just ramming the truck into gear and letting the clutch up, synchromesh or not.

BS. My Ford Ranger is 23 years old with 48x,xxx km on the clock. It still; has the original engine, gearbox and transmission which has never been replaced though as any normal rational person would expect, the brakes have been replaced several times. Not too bad for a Fix On Road Daily (Ford).

I wonder where the Trump supporters here on AN get all their information from? It certainly can't be from information freely available from the internet. They seem to live in a world of denial.
