Looks like Americans fight most here?
Votes are votes. Expats voting in Pennsylvania have more power than residents voting in Alabama. As far as SS and Medicare are concerned, there is zero doubt that democrats are much better. As far as expat lobbying groups, that exists but yes very weak. Most Americans consider expats as unpatriotic. As far as annoying banking regulations that impact expats, I may be wrong, but I think the democrats are probably worse on that. Also don't assume expats are voting only on narrow expat specific issues. In my case, support for Ukraine over Russia, democracy over autocracy, voting rights, LGBTQ civil rights, reproductive rights, protecting the independence of the DOJ, keeping most federal workers based on competence and experience rather than loyalty to a president and others are all important concerns. -

Lone Gunman Strikes Again at Thung Song Mall's Gold Shop, Identical to the Previous Attack
Picture courtesy of Thairath. In a repeat of a previous crime, a lone gunman robbed a gold shop at a Thung Song mall for the second time, mimicking almost every detail of the initial attack. The suspect shot at the gold display cases, planted a fake bomb, and made off with a quantity of gold. Authorities believe it may be the same person who carried out the first robbery. On the evening of August 24, reporters stated that the robbery occurred at the Yaowarat Gold Shop inside the Lotus Mall in Thung Song, Nakhon Si Thammarat province. The assailant, a man dressed entirely in black, with his face obscured by a hood, carried a backpack worn in front of his body. He entered the gold shop alone and fired at the gold display cases, causing panic among the shop employees and customers, who fled in terror as the mall was nearing its closing time. The suspect managed to steal a quantity of gold jewelry before fleeing. A mall security guard attempted to pursue him and even recorded a video (see below), but the suspect, who was armed, escaped. The assailant also left behind a suspicious object resembling a bomb, which prompted authorities to cordon off the area. Upon inspection, it was determined to be a fake explosive. During the investigation, police discovered traces of blood at the scene, believed to have been left by the suspect, possibly cut by glass while grabbing the gold jewelry. The blood samples were collected for DNA analysis. Officials also noted that the suspect used the same escape route as during a previous gold shop robbery in March 2023, during which over 40 baht of gold was stolen. The suspect was never apprehended. The recent incident mirrors the earlier crime in almost every detail, including the timing of the attack, near the mall's closing when foot traffic is low, and the suspect’s appearance and method of escape. Authorities are currently tracing the suspect’s escape route as the investigation. -- 2024-08-25 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe RPReplay_Final1724538070.mp4 -

Thank you for your compliment. You are correct about the security employee doing his work as instructed by his employers. His employers need to consider there positioning of the parking of motorcycles. -

Clear from day 1
Based on recent precedent, the International community via the UN. Following the negotiated end of the Yugoslav wars through the Dayton Agreement, the Office of the High Representative was established. The OHR's role was to oversee the civilian implementation of the agreement. The money is coming from the World Bank. the World bank raises funds in a variety of ways, including raising funds on the capital money. The bank has AAA rating so it can get low rates. Financial Intermediary Funds are the vehicle to ensure coordinated global responses to events, like war, and the main funders are the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. There is $140 billion in Russian Central Bank assets sitting in a Belgian Custodian Bank. There has been recent agreement to release earned interest to Ukraine, with the first tranche being used by Czechia to source artillary ammunition. Its within the purview of the EU whether to use those Russian assets for postwar reconstruction. The G7 are also loaning Ukraine $50 Bn, guaranteed by the US, and funded through interest paid on $260bn of Russian assets in mostly European banks, topped up by sums from France, Canada and Japan, though Japan's contributed is set aside for non-defence purchases only. The irony is that postwar, Russia might need some sort of Marshal Plan bailout, as its economy is basically is ruined. The alternative is that Russia descends into a even more thuggish nation, with an increasingly weakened central government, and unpredictable seperatism, plus even more border disputes with FSU nations. Number 1 concern is Chechenya; what is Ramzan Kadyrov's game? He's not loyal to Russia, and its interesting to see, in the middle of Ukraine's incursion/seizure of the Kursk region, Putin goes to Chechenya, kisses the Quran at the new Prophet Jesus Mosque in Grozny, to drum up Chechen recruitment for the army. Recent prison riots indicates that Russia has basically tapped out the prison population for cannon fodder, and Putin is desperate not to do a full mobilisation in Moscow-St Petersburg, where his core support it. The Chechen military are self funding and self equipped; basically a private army, and to date, they have supplied about 50,000 troops, equipped through the Akhmat-Khadji Kadyrov Foundation. In addition, the Chechens are sending in food supplied into the annexed territories. I suspect Chechen support is conditional, conditional upon Moscow to continue to pour vast sums into a region that is historically backward and not particularly productive. Chechenyalreceives about $4-5 billion a year from Moscow. Kadyrov keeps hinting he is looking for investors into a refinery that woulld make the Republic self sufficient in energy; Putin is scared stiff that Chechenya will try to secede from Russia again.- 1
