What makes you think he had not installed the app and given her authority? ".......several chronic medical conditions, including blood clots and heart disease" Potential for keeling over anytime, so it would make sense for him to check in regularly and to have the app in operation in case he did not.

The "victory conditions" for the Iranian regime are that it should not surrender to the US, that it remains unoccupied by US forces and that it continues to reject US hegemony.....those are the same conditions that applied to the UK in the "Battle of Britain" it fought against Germany in 1940. Under those conditions Iran presently remains a "winner"........as Britain was in 1940. I imagine that the president of the US is seething with rage at Iran for not yet submitting, as Hitler was with Britain. Doubtless the US will survive this battle and still remain a powerful and threatening adversary, as Germany remained in 1940 post BoB.

Those three groups means over 25% of USN strike groups now located in and around the Gulf. 🤔

Probably a USV as carried out this attack: https://www.twz.com/news-features/iranian-kamikaze-drone-boat-makes-first-successful-strike-of-war

"How do you reconcile yourself with the existence of Lebanon, Jordan and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the existence of the formal borders of Syria, and Iraq? They all share their basis of establishment with that of Israel. Lebanon was carved out of Syria. Jordan was the Palestinian state, but has the Saudi transplant lower clan of Hashemites in control. The Palestinian Arabs were immigrants from the arabian peninsula and former workers on the Suez canal, but don't let that actual historical reality discourage you from imagining an alternative background." I don't reconcile myself. Palestine, Iraq and Syria were set up as quasi colonial enterprises governed by Britain and France..........the victors of WW1 carving up the fallen Ottoman Empire between themselves. In Europe the new states formed, post WW1, out of the old empires, were set up according to the wishes of the ethnic groups that found themselves free of the old empires. No such opportunity was made available to the people of the Middle East, who found themselves under the hegenomy of european empires, in a 19th century style, imperial, solution. They were deemed no more worthy of self-determination than were any "native" population during the imperial "carve up" of Africa in the 19th century. Likewise the states subsequently "carved out" post WW2 were also set up according to the pleasure of European and American interests. America played its part magnificently when it arranged the fall of the Iranian Mossadegh government, in 1953, installing a dictatorial regime whose behaviour eventually provoked the revolution......."the rest is history". Post WW1 and post WW2 "settlements" , according to the ambitions of Britain, France and the US, are responsible for todays chaos.

It's "The American Way": “It became necessary to destroy the town to save it,” a U.S. major said Wednesday" https://www.thisdayinquotes.com/2015/02/it-became-necessary-to-destroy-the-town-to-save-it/ "U.S. advisers said the heavy allied firepower hurled on the city to drive out the Viet Cong probably contributed largely to the deaths of at least 500 civilians and possibly 1,000. South Vietnamese officials say the enemy dead totaled 451. About 50 Vietnamese soldiers died, along with more than 20 Americans…Lt. Col James Dare of Chicago, commander of U.S. Advisory Team 93, said “we will never know for sure” the number of civilians who died…Maj. Chester L. Brown of Erie, Pa., spent hours over the city as an Air Force forward air controller directing helicopter and fighter-bomber attacks. “It is always a pity about the civilians,” he said."

It's yet another US "Special Operation".

It's called "The Transport Co. Ltd" and it's still in business. "The Transport Co. Ltd. is a state enterprise under the Ministry of Transport and offers bus services between Bangkok and various provinces. The company has a professional staff and prioritizes customer service and is known to be reliable, safe, and comfortable." https://www.pattayamail.com/thailandnews/thai-transport-company-rolls-out-euro-5-bus-fleet-to-upgrade-nationwide-services-518388 https://transport.co.th/home/en/home-en/

Thailand Immigration Facebook reel issued following the furore over the woman refused entry on the 20,000 baht rule clearly states that evidence of "Exit" is required........point 3 of 6 points. The exit rule as stated in the reel also points out that exit should be within 60 days, or 90 days if the entrant is going to extend their visit. Given that the discretion of the IO officer (who may well have seen the reel and/or been briefed similarly) is the ultimate arbiter of entry it would seem wise to act in the belief that an exit rule exists. https://www.facebook.com/reel/155219142259997

It's a business that acquired a totally incompetent CEO. The notion that the incompetent Trump should be allowed to continue because Biden, allegedly, was incompetent (which is essentially what the constant "What about Biden......" nonsense amounts to) is something that reveals a careless, absolute stupidity in those that espouse it. Do the people that trot it out care so little about their nation that they would rather see it ruined than give up their "right" to further add to the alleged damage....but on their terms? And they call themselves "patriots"...........******* idiots.

Had there been an ICC to indict Adolf Hitler in 1939 (by which time he had committed enough crimes against his own population to have deserved it) it is unlikely "Germany" would have handed him over either. Duterte got handed over, much to the displeasure of his daughter, who was previously vice-president in the government that subsequently did it, because he was in no position to prevent it.

He was a delinquent in the eyes of those that wielded power within his society/community. No more was done to him than was done to anyone viewed as such in any society/community in those times. It was ordinary "business" in those days........in many parts of the world it still is. It takes a special sort of idiot to think that the world was deprived of the "Son of God" when he got nailed up.

mfd beat me to it by about 30 seconds. Perhaps worth mentioning to the howling, raging, ranting mob that Andrew Windsor was not arrested for anything to do with innapropriate sexual activity. He was arrested on suspicion of: ".....sharing reports from trade visits and a confidential briefing on investment in Afghanistan with the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and passing a Treasury briefing to a personal business contact". That is the nature of the misconduct that is being investigated.

The E-Visa site states the Tourist Visa as being appropriate for "Tourism/Leisure" purposes. I entered Thailand (SETV) in order to enjoy 55 days of leisure. If I were to get an extension it would be to enjoy more days of leisure. Category.......Person of Leisure.
