Thai Baht Set to Weaken as US Tariff Tensions Escalate
Haha, one of the reasons I am choosing Thailand is because the currency has been consistent at 30-40 price range. Unlike Latin America and Eastern Europe currencies. People who move to Thailand are folks who love stability in currency. You don't want to wake up one day where you're currency is 100 and then 1 the next. But let's see. If Baht goes close to 40, be happy as you exchange your foreign currency and get more baht. If Baht goes close to 30, be happy as your property can be sold for baht that can be exchange with more foreign currency. For example, property sold at B35M. At 35 to a dollar, that is 35M/35 = $1M. At 30 to a dollar, that means 35M/30 = higher than $1M. Either way, I'll be happy. -

BBC with a brutal takedown of Ukrainian hopes
Trum will do a deal with Putin, involving cash, to extra minerals from occupied Ukrainian territory, so that Musk doesn't have to buy them from China, so he can go to Mars. Trump his gagging to return overseas Russian reserves back to Putin. Tanks are basically big tractors. They are really not that sophisticated. They can be made at pace, in quantity, depending how you spec them. The losses of Abrams/Challengers/Leopards in that war against $100 FPV drones shows they are just as vulnerable as 70 year old hulls.. Putin is not building 4000 tanks from scratch. Hulls are refurbished. America hasn't made a new tank for decades. Instead, existing hulls are pulled from storage, and refurbished, and presented as new. The UK is fielding Challenger 3 tanks, to replace Challenger 2s. These are refurbished Challenger 2s, which were introduced around about 2002-3. Challenger 2s replaced Challenger 1s, which came in the mid-80s as the result of a canceled Iranian contract. Russia has anywhere between 5000-10,000 hulls in storage. No one really knows. There are about 3000 MBTs in Western Europe, most of them varying grades of Leopard tank; the US pulled out the last of their tanks a decade ago. The US tanks sitting in a desert storage yard might as well not exist. If it all kicked off in Poland, Russia would not be sitting around watching the news of tanks in the US being readied and shipped across thr Atlantic. It is of course a war of attrition; in someways, the conflict in Ukraine is one of the last acts of events sparked by a Duke getting shot in Sarajevo in 1914. The resulting conflict unleashed disruption in the European landscape that lasted into the 90s, with the dissolution of Yugoslavia, a nation borne out of the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian empire (because of the Great War). Or so we thought. Because the last act is the dissolution of that last Empire; Russia. After Ukraine, we will see Chechenya and others get antsy. The war in Ukraine will see the grin;ding away, on both sides, of equipment built and designed for this very conflict. If Russia runs out of tanks, then we would have run out of tanks, and MBTs won't really matter then. Then Putin brings out the big guns, the nukes, which will test NATO resolve. If Putin demands the surrender of Warsaw, or he nukes it, I expect Trump to be clapping from the sidelines, claiming the Poles were bad hombres, and he never liked them. But I'd rather those tanks being ground away around the mining towns of Donetsk rather than the plains of Germany. Which goes to the reason why the US invested in the defence of Europe; Europe was supposed to be where WW3 happened, not the US homeland. Europe accepted that happenchance of geography. Quid pro quo. -

Chinese Tourists Choose Japan Over Thailand for New Year
Excellent. Please take all the Russians with you. Guessing, however, these are higher end tourists. No issue with them. It’s the aggressive groups that shout, push n shove and gob everywhere.
