Hypersonic missiles. Used to attack Ukraine's largest children's hospital. Except for the very remote and very improbable possibility that there was a sufficiently significant military target at the hospital to justify such a strike, the chain of command from Putin to the commander of the missile unit should hang from a rope. Let's prepare the courtroom in Nuremberg.

considered a local by who ? that's where the difference lies.

I have been hearing this from several coordinated Ruzzian propaganda sources for some days now, coinciding with Putin redoubling his efforts in begging for peace yet with unacceptable terms and sending his errand oy Orban back and forth. Pretty much looks like panic is slowly beginning to set in on the Ruzzian side.

calling you a "sophist" is pretty flattering in my opinion.

you won't get a useful answer from someone working for the enemy.

Good article illustrating how Russia's terms were completely unacceptable and how Ukraine tried to be reasonable.

this is yet another common boneheaded Kremlin propaganda talking point. the most probable outcome is #3 - Russia continues its existence within its internationally recognized 2010 borders, because no one is interested in invading Russian territory. Except maybe China, their unlimited friendship partner.

usually they also did their "own" research

Maybe that's what you would say, but "sport" is a word that has a precise definition. Card Games (Poker, Bridge), Chess, Golf are sports. But they aren't "athletic sports".

it's no coincidence that Thailand is much better at women's sports than men's. sports require effort.

don't discount the influence of Ruzzian troll farms just because this is an expat forum about Thailand. They are everywhere. Even NATO has put out information about them : https://www.nato.int/nato_static_fl2014/assets/pdf/2020/5/pdf/2005-deepportal2-troll-factories.pdf https://www.economist.com/europe/2024/02/12/france-uncovers-a-vast-russian-disinformation-campaign-in-europe https://www.propublica.org/article/infamous-russian-troll-farm-appears-to-be-source-of-anti-ukraine-propaganda In our own little forum here we have our dedicated pro-Ruzzian trolls, I guess all categories are represented : - the useful idiot - the paid trollposter - the operative - the bot/AI

you must be joking - first hit on google: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_econometrics

Ukrainian destiny without Russia's involvement is exactly the point ! And also the reason why Putin in ready to kill millions.

Same. The people supporting Yanukovich were of Russo-thuggish persuasion and were in some form paid or blackmailed to do so. It's these people who most imposed mafia-like structures and corruption, pushing everyone to have a "krisha". Everyone was forced to go with the flow at the time.

Nonsense statements. I said almost the opposite of USA being the world's policeman. I said NATO isn't Ukraine's boss. BUT - helping Ukraine is in the USA's interest. Second, the Chinese government in Taipei has older roots than the communist government, one could view communist China as being ruled by rebels. I see no reason to deny the status of sovereign country to Taiwan Ukraine kept it's neutrality, but it was incessantly attacked by Russia since Putin took over the affairs in the Kremlin. Read the history of events, starting before the Orange Revolution

I haven't been asked the question. But since you asked, here's my answer : Regarding NATO intervention, from the information I have, I would say two things : - that NATO should enter the war only when NATO's security is directly threatened. the reason is not to spare NATO soldier's lives, but to avoid multiplying the scale of the conflict, because suddenly there would be armed clashes in many parts of the world - that helping Ukraine to defend itself against Putin is important for world peace. There are other conflicts that will be prevented or lessened by Putin's defeat in Ukraine (Georgia, Azerbaidjan/Armenia, possibility of conflict in Central Asia, Taiwan). In most of these conflicts, Putin's imperialist goals are also the cause

Your logic is insulting. NATO is not Ukraine's boss. Ukraine wants to defend itself, it needs help. If China attacked Taiwan and if Taiwan didn't want to submit to China you would also try to convince them to surrender, right ? You have no regards for independence and freedom.

a photo is worth a thousand words.

From the ones you listed, I'd go with Qatar. With Emirates, Lufthansa and KLM, you can expect standard minimum comfort and service and a higher risk of petty additional costs (for example them weighing your carry-on).

so... they didn't. probably because they weren't violent enough.

did they also violently breach into a building where Trump was present ?

The title of this article is factually wrong and misleading. The president's immunity is for official acts of government while in office. Encouraging a mob to storm the capitol and kill the vice president isn't an act of government. So there is no partial immunity in the Jan 6th case.

It doesn't necessarily mean the content is true, but it means they have a credible and verified source which gave them that information. as for Ruzzian media, well... Russian journalists get killed and foreign journalists sent to prison and charged with "espionage". I can see how Ruzzia can consider true journalism as being espionage. What you read in your sources is stuff that Ruzzia doesn't consider espionage.

you mean non-prescription off-the-shelf glasses for 25 baht...

Runaway prices have caused me to not have a favourite beer in Thailand anymore. I never really liked the local brews. If I feel like drinking a beer, I go for Cheers X-TRA.
