  1. I have. A lot of things coming from Russia, are not exactly a guarantee for success, or that they are working as they hoped.. Anywho, they will never ever start a nuclear holocaust against the west, including the States. They know the outcome, however good they think their own rockets fly and are.. They would be shattered to pieces. A nuclear war has no winners.
  2. One last comment on this. It's bad enough that Israel have them, because they now feel they can do whatever they want in the region. And that's just what they are doing. I actually do not think if Iran was making them, that that would have been such a bad thing. In my opinion it might create some stability in the region. Based exactly on the MAD idea. Iran won't use them, unless used upon. And that won't happen. Just my opinion.
  3. If non-nuclear countries have allies with nuclear weapons, of course it won't work threatening them there either. If Russia threatens Norway with use of nuclear weapons, it won't work because Norway is a member of NATO. It's the same as if they actually had them themselves.
  4. That is common sense, and not contradicting anything I wrote.
  5. Are you dumb? Try to wait for my edit, everyone can have misspellings. I sure know the concept! But you obviously can't read.
  6. Politely, you are not reading my post! I am completely aware, and that's why I say threatening other nuclear powers WON'T work. Both parties are fully aware of the mutual destruction. I thought everyone could read on this forum, but obviously not.
  7. Seriously? That's what I'm saying, for crying out loud! It only work as a threat to countries who don't have them. Threatening a country with nuclear weapons, does not work, exactly because of that mutual destruction. Do you understand my post now?
  8. I can't see any nation today stupid enough to start a nuclear holocaust. They know the result of that. It will be retaliated straight away. We have come further today than we were in '62. Too many nations have nuclear weapons today, and all are very aware of the consequences. Nuclear weapons are keeping nations in check today. It's not a weapon for attack, it's not meant to be used. They are an insurance for a nuclear country to go easy with. It's a "here, but no longer" kind of situation.
  9. Yes, but my view was the neverending RUSSIAN nuclear threats towards Europe and NATO. That will never work, you can't threat other nuclear nations and capabilities with the use of nuclear weapons. That will never work.
  10. But would you like to know though? I certainly wouldn't..
  11. Correct. The Norwegian government did that recently, and it went into effect this or last year, if I remember correctly. This is affecting many Thai (and others) widows in the future.
  12. Nuclear weapons have only worked as a threat to those who don't have them. Threatening other nuclear powers, has never worked, and never will.
  13. Donald Trump on tariffs: "We're taking in trillions, not billions, trillions and trillions of dollars from other countries … Now they're paying a lot of money and they're paying hundreds of billions of dollars… But I think there's also a possibility that we're taking in so much money that we may very well make a dividend to the people of America." I just don't know what to say. This man must be the most delusional person in the world. He still thinks other countries are paying these ridiculous tariffs. "Trillions" lol.. And who's paying that bill, Sir? And he is allowed to lie, lie, lie and lie, with no one standing up against his bs. Madness.
  14. Yep. Just the thought of the US being in better shape with Bush jr... But here we are.
  15. Well, we're seeing the end of democracy in the US, and now they're openly rigging elections in Texas, and that's only the latest icing on the cake. Trump and his buffoons have become a laughing stock all over the world. We really have plenty of "good" stories to tell our grandkids for decades to come.
  16. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seen from abroad, by a non-American, Trump is by far the worst president the US have ever had. No one even close!
  17. Couldn't disagree more. He is all words, always has been, with his stupid threats. He has become an embarrassment for Russia, and you might get your wish, with Medvedev falling out of a window in the near future. The grown-ups in Russia (if there are any?) know exactly what happens if they start anything nuclear. Russia would be turned into dust, and wiped out of the map.
  18. No one takes Medvedev seriously. He's the biggest clown in Russia, and that says a lot.
  19. I am more concerned about the penguins. How much tariff did they get?
  20. They certainly close your account because of withdrawn fees on a dormant account below 2000 baht. It happened to me, I had only a few hundred baht left on it when I left Thailand some years ago. They started charging a fee after a year or so, I think it was 50 baht, until it was zero. Then they closed it. This was Bangkok Bank. If you maintain it every 6 months or so, you would be fine.
  21. Well said. And you are right, of course we're not getting through to these people. All you get is a thumb down 😂
  22. Yes, agree. The EU leaders cannot force this investment "deal" onto any country in Europe, so what on earth Ursula has agreed to here, is mind boggling.
  23. We are discussing this 15% tariff from EU to the US, of which US consumers and companies will have to pay for, and what the result will be on that. That's only one direction. The EU has zero tariff on a lot of US products brought to Europe, and is not changing their stand on that, or their tariffs.
