S&P 500 is an index. so do you want to buy an index replicating fund ?

thank you. why would it be unsuitable for cars ? I have driven to most places on Koh Chang with my car, it requires a car in good working order and some driving experience. Not for everyone, that's for sure.

Is there a good option for visiting Koh Chang with your own car without driving the road to there ? Like a ferry from Pattaya or Sattahip for example.

the briefings are one thing, but were Trump's clearances pulled too ?

it's more complicated than that. ex-presidents still have clearance for many classified documents, they also get an intelligence briefing every day if they wish. the details will decide this case, not sweeping statements.

If your wife owns a resort with at least 4 Thai employees, she should be able to apply for a work permit for you.

great idea to publicly announce the cameras before catching the pervert ! not.

wow so expensive. I bought my Nouvo 135 for 15.000

Navalny doesn't have 25000 soldiers armed with artillery, tanks and air defense. Putin only understands power and violence and is responsive to it.

there are videos of fighting inside Rostov and explosion of vehicles on the highway. looks pretty much real.

Domino's pizza has opened in Pattaya, I thought I'd give them a try. They are currently selling their pizza at huge discounts, maybe 45% off or something, so I tried. It was meh, but for 260 baht including delivery I felt like at least I had not been robbed. Then I saw that they intend to sell that same pizza for 499 baht later. Cheeseburger fries and coke for 405 ... okay. if it's a good cheeseburger. From the pictures above I'd say I do better in my own kitchen, and they can't beat my burger sauce ???? haha

What this shows is that the Russian structures of power and their level of control are a complete clown show. Wagner's push to Moscow showed that many Russian security forces would not oppose such a move. Putin must have freaked out. Prigozhin was careful to only insult the military leadership, not Putin himself, and Putin seeing how little support is left among his own troops must have decided to keep Prigozhin maybe not as a friend, but as a non-enemy which may in future be motivated to help Putin again. Putin is weak, Moscow is weak. That's why Prigozhin gets to live to see another day. for now. Maybe it has also something to do with the Chechens. The first news about them was that a huge Chechen column was heading for Rostov and Kadyrov talking angrily about traitors, etc. And then the next news were about the first Chechens arriving in Rostov being "detained". Rostov's population was showing some support for Prigozhin, so I'm not sure how Putin-loyal Chechens shooting Russians in Russia would have worked out as a mental image with Russian people. If a match was needed to embraze everything, it could have been that. I guess Putin realized he had no other choice than to defuse the situation. I wonder if Prigozhin gets his wishes of Gerasimov and Shoigu being removed.

looks like they got a plan. Buturlinovka is another airbase. And Lipetsk has large airbase too.

I don't understand your comment

Russians are digging trenches ... in Moscow

I'm currently watching Operation Barbarossa 2.0 on Twitter and Reddit

there are bigger fish to fry, let's not divide Wagner's attention

the thing we don't know is how much of the military is or will be siding with Wagner. General Flustikov moved this morning to take over control of the Ministry of Defence headquarters on Frunzenskaya in Moscow. I doubt a lone general would do something like this, especially a Russian one. Flustikov was GRU, and GRU relations with Wagner are very friendly. Russia's National Guard, the "Rosgvardia" was created by Putin as a kind of Hitlerjugend. So I guess they will be loyal, but will they be ready to right veteran fighters ? it all looks like a large clusterf*ck

I'll add some more details for people who think Wagner is just soldiers and ground equipment. Do you remember Wagner had fighter pilots in this war ? Well, Wagner captured Taganrog Airbase and possibly (probably) Millerovo as well, meaning Wagner probably has access to fighter jets. So far, Wagner has reportedly shot down a Russian helo and a plane Wagner captured Russia's Southern Military District Headquarters and Commanders. If Wagner controls this district, it means it has access to a lot of assets, including strategic ones (nukes). They probably would be unable to detonate them, but Wagner has potentially already come into possession of nukes.

I suppose Russia feigned giving Lukashenko full control over nukes so they could threaten to strike Ukraine and then blame Lukashenko. I guess the situation is becoming too hot for him.

apparently Russian Air Force is bombing the M4 motorway between Voronezh and Moscow Russia Today's Telegram channel has apparently been shut down for "violating local laws"
