Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
Putin and many Russians do not recognise Ukraine as a free and independant country with the right to make its own decisions. Putin has said that he regards Ukraine both now and historically as an integral part of Russia or rather the Russian sphere of influence. He does not regard the subjugation of Ukraine as a conquest but rather an operation to bring a recalcitrant province back into line. He hoped to achieve this early in the war by converging on Kiev , overthrowing the government and replacing it with one more on the Belorussian model. Unfortunately for him , many Ukrainians have had enough of Russian hegemomy and want complete and absolute independance. Many Ukrainians look at the Holodomor , where millions of Ukrainians died of starvation , as Russias fault. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor So for this and many other reasons , Ukraine wants its independance , just as the USA broke away from the UK or the South American countries gave Spain and Portugal the boot. Sick of being exploited. As for NATO expansion, there is not a single NATO country that has been forced by military means to join up. They have all asked to join as protection against historical Russian expansion and empire building. When people talk about escalation they should remember that it was Putin that started this , not NATO. That is a hard an inescapable fact. He wants to be able to send missiles into Ukraine and destroy civilian infrastructure ( escalation ) but when Ukraine is finally given the limited go ahead to respond in kind he and others have the ignorant timerity to call it an escalation by the Ukrainins. And there are many useless idiots like Joe Rogan who gobble up Putins propagander as though it were manna from heaven. In any event, it looks like 2025 could be the crunch year. How the map will look when the dust has settled remains to be seen. The Siberians are also getting tired of Russian exploitation. -

Kamala Harris’s Next Chapter: What Lies Ahead After Her White House Exit
Going to be tricky for her once America course corrects on DEI hiring I think as I don't think she will really want to be competing for positions on merit alone. She might have to lower her expectations in line with her abilities. -

Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert
AFAIK this still falls under self-assessment, there is no 'registration' of the gift. Can you provide a link detailing this? I've been looking at annual gifts to my wife and there doesn't appear to be requirement for documentation, unless going over either the US or Thai taxation thresholds, at which point tax on the overage will be due.
