Trump's peace role appears to be a jigsaw piece in a wider strategy of the USA re-establishing itself as a dominant power in the region after a strengthening economic and diplomatic performance from China. There is an alternative view that the USA through its National Endowment for Democracy and other institutions has fomented the conflict with Uncle Hun Seng in the first place to grow its influence in client regimes and keep China in check. The ring of containment is tightening from Japan to India. It looks like that a Chinese plan to carve a canal from the Mekong through Cambodia to the sea, by passing Vietnam, is going no where. It sure will be interesting to watch Thai diplomats and its military deal with this polarising political situation. My sympathies are with the poor people in the border areas and the soldiers now made to risk life and limb for a modest existence.

Yep, the typical electric car owner has the personality of Rain Man. They memorise all the green power statistics but not the real cost. Without the subsidies the whole industry would be toast. I did not yet see an independent signed off audit of on the electric cars and I suspect that the these cars pollute the same or more than petrol power cars. Electric cars lost out 100 years ago. It is ridiculous that tax payers are subsidising these cars for the rich.

Where is the bit about paying taxes, the military industrial complex and going to war for profit? Are you a cheese burger?

May I suggest you just buy local Pork not in a can?

What we need is a transport equalisation tax to create subsidy/excise equity between ICEs and BEVs in Thailand. That is an equal excise on purchase price excise, electricity used for vehicles and a pollution requirement on power stations using fossil fuels to make electricity equivalent to the Ultra Low Emissions Vehicles requirements .

Much better than a BEV. Malaysia appears to have very cheap petrol and Thailand's power seems to be basically derived from Liquid Petroleum Gas. So the pricing equation is determined by Governments' Power Pricing, Car Industry and excise policies. Government needs to get out of the way of economics, look what happened with the excise sales rate mandating diesel pickups, a 2.5 PPM particulate catastrophe.

Unhealthy. I did that years ago but switched to almonds with the skin off after hearing Dr Steven Gundry explain that peanuts are bad for you because of the lectins they contain.
