  1. I posted this link on another thread but I think it's actually more apposite here. Ukraine and Russia’s Collapsing Home Front https://nationalinterest.org/feature/ukraine-and-russia’s-collapsing-home-front-213869
  2. Interesting perspective from S. Frederick Starr, Chairman of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute and former adviser to three US presidents. Based mainly on statements by various people within Russia itself, Starr sees multiple signs of weakness bedeviling the Russian war effort, especially on the economic front and his view is that: Ukraine and Russia’s Collapsing Home Front https://nationalinterest.org/feature/ukraine-and-russia’s-collapsing-home-front-213869 Just one man's opinion but an apparently well-informed one.
  3. You haven't answered the question. How would civil cases keep him off the ballot? (Hint - they wouldn't).
  4. What ballot? Trump is not currently on any ballot. Even if you meant "were" not "are" how would a civil case be an effort to get him off the ballot? In civil cases, the worst that can happen is him being ordered to pay damages.
  5. That's a ridiculous mis-statement and so easily disproven that it's laughable. Here's just the first paper (published in March 2020, so very early in the piece) that showed up when I did a Google search. There are plenty of others. First isolation of SARS-CoV-2 from clinical samples in India https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7366528/ Edit: Here's a paper published in The Lancet, documenting how it was first isolated in China on 7 January, 2020. A novel coronavirus outbreak of global health concern https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30185-9/fulltext (Links would not embed).
  6. Well, exactly. That's the point that a lot of the people analysing this have been making - that they should have used a lightweight structure that would easily collapse, not a solid concrete one.
  7. Not the same airport. The incident you refer to was at Gimpo airport
  8. Here's another report from the NYT saying the same thing. Questions Arise Over Concrete Wall Near Runway in South Korea Crash* https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/business/plane-crash-korea-wall-investigation.html *Link won't embed.
  9. It is indeed there to house the navigation anntenae - or at least, it is according to every report I've read or seen. Where do you see that it isn't? As explained by multiple sources, these anntenae would normally be at ground level but because this runway is on a slope, they needed to be higher up. However, instead of raising the anntenae position by using frangible materials, they chose to use solid concrete. Here's just one such report from the BBC. There are others saying the same thing. Why was there a wall near runway at S Korea plane crash airport?
  10. There is a system called EMAS that is designed to stop planes quickly and safely if they overshoot the runway and the airport didn't have sufficient run off space. It's installed at over a hundred airports in the US but only 15 others worldwide. Engineered materials arrestor system
  11. It now appears the airport authorities knew the berm was problematic. An internal document issued in May this year expressed concern that it was too close to the end of the runway. https://youtu.be/NCwZnSiOW78?si=N7inUDBmqx0sv3XG
  12. Because all immigrants are automatically Democrat supporters? Just like Musk and Ramaswamy?
  13. It is a confirmation from the Azerbaijanis. As stated in the linked article.
  14. Again, there's no link there, just plain text. Links in other posts work fine, but yours recently (about the last dozen or more) have no URL attached, they're just text.
  15. The link is not working. Actually, that seems to be a problem with a lot of your posts, recently. Can you check and fix it? I liked checking into it those stories but can't any more (for the most part).
  16. Pretty sure that's not the original quote. In fact, even the link you post, gives the correct wording, which is, "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war."
  17. I don't think I would like that either but Hua Hin doesn't require photos taken while sitting on the bed, so it's a moot point (here at least). When they did the home visit (which as I say, was only the once) the IO only took pictures outside the front door and out on the street where the house number is located. No big deal, for me anyway.
  18. My personal experience is that processing yearly extensions by reason of marriage are not that much of a hassle at all. I have done four extensions, all in Hua Hin and the only slightly annoying thing about it is the number of documents that need to be signed when you hand in the final package at the Immigration Office. I've never really had a problem about supplying the correct documents, Hua Hin supplies a list of what they require and so long as you follow it, you won't have a problem. The only slight problem I had was in the very first year (when I didn't have the document list from them) and I didn't have a copy of my daughter's birth certificate and had to go back home to get it and make a copy. Subsequent years - plain sailing. I've always found the IO's very pleasant to deal with. No questioning of virtually any kind, they just take the documents, check through them, take a photo of myself and the wife and then give me a date to return to get the extension stamped in. Incidentally, they only ever did a home visit in the first year, which was a quick ten minute drop by, which I didn't find intrusive in the slightest.
  19. Apparently, in his society media posts he also blamed Germany for being too pro-Islam. Germans mourn attack on Christmas market
  20. Apparently confirmed as malaria - so not a dire plot by the WHO (or anyone else) to foist a new disease and/or control measures on the public at all (as some people were trying to suggest). Mystery DRC outbreak officially identified as malaria
  21. However the OP is doing extensions based on marriage. Different requirements (those listed by @DrJack54 above).
  22. Then you gathered incorrectly, as many of his police colleagues have pointed out. Derek Chauvin trial: Fourth officer joins colleagues claiming he broke rules by kneeling on George Floyd’s neck
  23. If there's any two tier justice here, it's not that evident. Here's a list of similar incidents involving Labour Politicians (one even involving Sir Keir last year). All the strange things that have been thrown at politicians over the years
  24. Occam's razor means that the simplest explanation that meets the known facts, is likely to be the correct one. There is no current evidence that these drones are searching for anything. Meanwhile, the simplest explanation I'm aware of (and various journalists have pointed this out) is that the vast majority of the sightings represent commercial, hobbyist and law enforcement drones, civilian aviation (helicopters and planes) or even gas station lights and constellations.
  25. The Daily Mirror article that is quoted, identifies him as a British citizen, originally from Gillingham in Kent, who was running a cleaning business in New South Wales (Australia).
