US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Tuesday offered his greetings Thailand to commemorate National Day.

In the statement, Tillerson also said the US remembered the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s deep and enduring friendship with the United States.

“We look forward to further nurturing that friendship under the leadership of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn.”

King Bhumibol was born on December 5, so the date is regarded as Thailand’s national day.

Tillerson also noted that next year marks the 200th anniversary of the “flourishing US-Thai relationship that had brought so many benefits over time to our two nations and to the region.

“Additionally, we look forward to Thailand holding elections next year,” the diplomat said.

“As a partner for security, public health and commercial growth, Thailand remains a trusted US friend and ally in Asia,” Tillerson said. “I would like to convey our warmest regards to all the Thai people and wishes for a peaceful and prosperous year to come.”

During that time, I came to understand that MAGA is sustained by a series of myths that are intended to create perpetual feelings of desperation and panic. Succumbing to these predatory myths

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w
