Trump Threatens Major Tariff Surge of 50% on EU Amid Trade Frustrations
Do it mr Trump , not just threaten. Make it 100 %. But the euro's will never let go of their unreasonably high VAT.

BBC Faces Backlash Over Alleged Bias in Coverage of White Farmer Killings in South Africa
Feel sorry for (some) Brits . The BBC TV licence is a fee required for households in the UK to watch or record live television broadcasts and to use BBC iPlayer. As of April 2025, the cost is £174.50 per year, and the funds support BBC programming and services. 174,50 for garbage.

Top Myanmar General Shot Dead in Yangon by Guerrilla Group
That's how you do it : “a targeted act.” You target the responsible people on top. Not like the moslims who bomb civilians or drive a vehicle into a crowd.

Relocating to Chiang Mai, worried about burning season
You'd think the cooler months up north are much better than the constant hot/humid in southern Thailand, but after 12 on midday it gets hot too , less humid. But you can't enjoy the cool night and morning time temperatures with the smell of burning and awful PM2,5 numbers. Can't even keep windows open. Just air the rooms , then the purifiers on maximum. Go outside with a mask. Why I life here ? While driving all through Thailand , I only found the accomodation I needed at the price I wanted here up north. Now my Thai "family" build a nice house for me . Yes I would rather have it in a better province , but I can't move the house , or move to another thai style build sh-thole.

Trump Privately Concedes Putin Unwilling to End Ukraine War
He could have ended the war , but he was blinded by the money of the bad RE-metals deal. Money that was wasted , disappeared and laundred by the Biden autopen administration. Now his only option ( get completely out of ANY support for Ukraine and NATO) is blocked by that deal. Just another couple of million Ukrainians to go and complete victory for Russia. 👍

Gold, the undisputed "safe harbor". Or is it?
I cannot believe you asked what CBDC's are. Where are you hiding ? Somewhere under a rock in Isaan without TV or internet? I cannot believe you never considered gold. As your name suggests , you are Swiss ? Switzerland is a world player in gold. Switzerland and Singapore are famous for secure gold storage. Does that mean that I could no more buy 100 sacks of potatoes with a 1 kilo Gold bar at the local market, without being qualified as an "enemy of the state"? 1 kilo would buy you 100.000 sacks of potatoes. Better to try buying a sack of potatoes with 1 oz silver coin . I think there will be a black economy when things get worse after forced CBDC's. And the state(s) will not be happy with that. As a Swiss , you speak german ? Browse around : Kettner-Edelmetalle (Gold & Silber) - YouTube

Relocating to Chiang Mai, worried about burning season
If you have other options , you should reconsider. From January to end of May , it is not good. Yes we've been lucky this year with early rain, but next can be as bad as other years or worse. It's not just you , who can lock yourselve in a room with purifiers, it's your kids in schools without purifiers and sporting out in the open.

The Thai Baht Paradox: Currency Climbs as Economy Falters
I while ago I highlighted the relation between THB and gold and replies here were that I was wrong. Since then 2 articles here that confirmed the relation between the two. When I'm glad gold goes up , I get the bummer that the THB/euro is worse again.

Gold, the undisputed "safe harbor". Or is it?
Yes I bought it too in 2011 , but not for a quick profit. I certainly do not regret it. Central banks keep buying. It is always risky buying when it is high like now. You should have bought years ago. Still if you want to get out of paper money , or get your money out of banks before you are forced into CBDC's (like the digital euro in october 2025) , there is not much choice.
