Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
If Putin bought every possible combo of lottery ticket, he would win too. The problem is he will need to spend 14m for all of the tickets. All of this for the sake of a maybe 5m jackpot. But I suppose, at least he'll be called a winner. Good logic Putin. -

A Night in the Thai Police Station
Thats unfair and insulting to say that of his Wife - There is a large proportion of society who, through socio-economic status will always feel subservient to the police who posture, strut, act powerful and in this case make strong threats... Had the Wife argued, she could have made a relatively harmless situation worse. Additionally, perhaps they didn't want to pay a 20,000 baht bribe not to stay in the cells over night. Unless in that situation, you have no idea how your girlfriend would react if surrounded by Police and being verbally bullied - it would certainly take more than 5-10 mins of your time, unless your GF is a Policewoman or well connected herself. -

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
Russian strikes on Ukraine "don't stop, then the first step is this: Lift the range restriction [on current Ukraine missile launchings]. And the second step is that we deliver the Taurus," he said. That way, he added, Russian President Vladimir Putin "has it in his hands how far he wants to escalate this war further." Germany's DW reported in July that Merz spoke in favor of Berlin aiding Kyiv to protect against Russian aggression and supply it with combat aircraft. "I believe that we should help Ukraine at least restore sovereignty over its own airspace," he was quoted as saying. Although Scholz has been reluctant to send Kyiv heavy weaponry, Berlin trails only Washington in the amount of support provided to Ukraine. Scholz has insisted that it is essential to secure the "sovereignty of Ukraine and [ensure] that it will not be forced to submit to a dictated peace." In November, Scholz attacked the final declaration of the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro for not plainly stating that Russia was responsible for the war in Ukraine, even as he restated his opposition to sending long-range missiles to Kyiv. "In my view, supplying cruise missiles would be a mistake for many reasons," he said at the time -- including the danger that it would bring Germany closer to direct conflict with Russia. Domestically, Scholz, seeking a bounce-back in the polls ahead of the February 23 election, accused Merz of seeking support from the far-right Alternative for Deutschland (Germany) or AfD, which would break the taboo against the mainstream parties in the country cooperating with the party. Following World War II, Germany has done "very well in the past decades when the democratic parties agreed not to cooperate with the extreme right," Scholz said. Merz underlined that his Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Bavarian CSU allies would not cooperate or rule with the virulently anti-immigration AfD. "I want to make it clear here once again that we will not do that," Merz said. “There are no similarities between the AfD and the [CDU/CSU]." SEE ALSO: Far-Right German Lawmaker Denies Receiving Payments From Russia-Linked Propaganda Platform The CDU/CSU alliance, which is polling at about 30 percent, has itself pressed for tougher immigration policies in an effort to draw voters away from the AfD, which is polling at around 20 percent. Scholz said Merz's proposal to reject all migrants at Germany's borders "contradicts European law." Scholz’s Social Democrats and the Greens each are at around 15-18 percent support ahead of the vote for the next parliament, or Bundestag. ING bank analyst Carsten Brzeski wrote that the debate likely ended in a draw and -- though heated at times -- was relatively "well-behaved," which could leave open the possibility of a "grand coalition" involving the CDU and other groups in an effort to shut out the AfD, which has been accused of having ties to Russia. Initial public opinion polls also scored the two politicians' performances in the debate as roughly equal. Scholz and Merz are scheduled to meet again in a head-to-head debate on February 19. They are also scheduled meet in a four-way debate on February 16 with AfD's Alice Weidel and Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck from the Greens. With reporting by dpa and AFP -

Trump Blames Zelensky’s Stance for Stalling Ukraine Peace Talks
Not surprising at all that Trump does Putin's bidding. He is the ultimate asset for Russia and the worst traitor in US history. Nothing but a court martial will suffice. -

Report Foodpanda to Exit Thailand, Halting Services on May 23
We are just outside the delivery range, literally 150m, as I see 7-11 deliver on the main rd, but won't drive up out dead end soi, a mere 150m. I don't mind though, as we don't eat out that frequent, and more to get out of the house, than to eat anything special. Would be nice if Pizza Co delivered. Although last time, again, got us out of the house and we went surfside, 5 mins away to munch the last pizza order. Semi rural, and traffic isn't an issue or dangerous. If living in a metro area, yea, i'd use quite often.
