If he was right, it was because he helped create the situation, IMO. Without the American unconditional support of israel this situation would likely never have happened.

Well they have attacked, and so far no western government has promised to send their military. Hopefully they will confine their response to words saying how outraged they are that Iran would have the temerity to respond to an armed attack on Iranian territory.

I've tried to think of something that Biden has done better than Trump, but other than falling over or off his bicycle, I can't think of anything off hand.

That was before October 7. While Jordan and Egypt may not wish to invite israeli destruction on themselves, the "working relationships" with Gulf states and Turkey may be over. Turkey especially, has reason to be "annoyed" with israel.

OR sending a few drones that don't do a lot of damage, but disrupt israeli life, and their economy, plus, of course, instilling fear in the population, something the Palestinians know well, from the israeli occupiers. One wonders if netanyahu considered that the Iranians would not dare to attack israel directly, or if he hoped they would. IMO he wants the US directly involved against Iran.

Well, hands up, I got that completely wrong. Not only is Iran attacking israel directly, but it gave the US advance warning of the attack, and says it does not want to expand the conflict to involve the US ( as heard on Al Jazeera ). I caught the end of an article on Al Jazeera that indicated that the US would not get directly involved in this situation. Iran may not even intend to cause too much damage, as they know most if not all the drones will be shot down. Depends if they also send missiles with heavier payloads that get through. Even if no missiles get through, this is going to hit israel financially, from the disruption to the economy, to the cost of replenishing the air defense systems. According to Wikipedia a single interception can cost $150,000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome However, depending on the israeli response, my last paragraph may still be relevant. Just heard on Al Jazeera that israel has promised a retaliation, which will lead to another Iranian strike and on and on we go, possibly into a M E war. Well done, netanyahu, he certainly is diverting attention from Gaza, and probably extending his political survival. Pity about the people going to die though. Biden must be "annoyed" with netanyahu for his ill advised attack on Iranian territory in Damascus. It's going to put a crimp in his election campaign if he has to hang out in Washington trying to formulate the US response..

In that case, can you get them to stop making most of the threads about the US? If we non Americans didn't comment on those posts there would not be many posts, and that would not help sell advertising.

I wasn't commenting on the original case, but on trying to get money AFTER he died. Seems to be a norm in our brave new world that soon as a plane falls out of the sky the leaches lawyers are trying to get a big payout ( as big as possible so they get rich off it ), and for any other disaster that they can invent a reason to be paid out for.

IMO it's all about inventing new taxes. I don't think they care much about individuals except at elections.

The only thing I'm sure of in that is that Biden will get a pass from the MSM, while if it was Trump they'd be roasting him for it.

It's only an opinion if you include something to make it an opinion. You keep saying things like WILL, which indicates that you claim it as a fact. You need to stop making things up and claiming they are facts.

Soooooooo, you are OK with exploiting people so you don't have to pay what those services should cost. How noble of you.

Does no one think to look with google? About 519,000 results (0.26 seconds) https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=cost+of+a+basic+cremation+in+thailand How much does it cost to be cremated in Thailand? More seriously, a local cremation around here costs one or two thousand baht but the cost can increase based on what the family want, extra;s such as flowers, laying in state for a week, a formal burial with lots of people/parking/seating etc all cost more. FWIW I'm planning on 5k baht for mine.31 May 2017

If Thailand is part of the central banking system they probably know how many times you use your toilet Seriously, IMO all the banks are connected to the government now because they invented that "money laundering scam. Soon as they find out someone is dead they just put the name into a computer and voila. If they weren't before, now farangs are liable for tax they certainly will be.

Yes.

I'm sure there used to be something at the start of the sub forum to say no politics, but I can't see it any more, so perhaps it is allowed now.

First place I'd look is to see if the money for construction was "diverted", and shonky products used instead of the proper ones. Swampy had a lot of problems due to shoddy products being used, but most of us know why that was.

Soon as a death is notified I understand the bank accounts are frozen. Only way is to give her the money now, or prepay. Does Thailand use corpses for medical training? If so, get into that program, don't need to pay anything. I told my relatives that if I died in LOS they were ignore any mail from Thailand so they couldn't get roped into paying.

The "leaders" of the EU must be worried that they are going to get the boot from their cushy jobs when the right wing parties get voted in because of the illegal immigration fiasco.

The problem with a personality cult like anti MAGA it’s victims become so dependent logic or reason cannot penetrate the edifice of lies that constitutes the remainder of their identity.

How can the left be “anti” a slate of myths, tropes and curated propaganda? People can debate issues, but only on a basis of facts.

Your link is inappropriate as those of us that choose not to be on that diabolical site are unable to read it. Anyway, I thought social media is not an approved source.

An extra thought. I assume the original fine was levied against Simpson as a "punishment", so how in the name of the deity is trying to get the money now, after Simpson is dead, "punishing" anyone. Seems it's all about the money, money, money. I can't see how their son could have been worth a hundred million to them if he had lived. I can see that if he was supporting them, that they have a case to be reimbursed for the money that they didn't get, but a hundred million, LOL. IMO it's about the G word.

LOL. What could possibly go wrong with that?

Is that completely true though? The judge issues instructions for the jury so they can't decide against that, I presume. I don't know if it's true or not, but I understand a judge can overturn a jury decision if he has cause.
