Ukraine ... Enlighten yourself
We don't need the cigar musings of Uncle Joe, we have the actual figures for Lend lease. We can just look at them. Lend Lease gave Russia 7,000 US tanks, however by themselves the Russians produced 29,569 combat vehicles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_combat_vehicle_production_during_World_War_II The Russians no more needed US Lend Lease than they needed Barra's granddad. They would have won the war against the Wehrmacht anyway. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
It is not that simple and this was pointed out to you several times. Accounting method is one of the open questions. For whatever reason you want to see everything simple and clear but it is not and you are not willing or able to answer a simple question of accounting method that is paramount to the calculation of the due income tax and the decission to stay in TH at all (for some). If you really believe you stand a fair chance in a thai tax tribunal then I do not know what to say. I -

Why is the MAGA movement so susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories?
I doubt he can read beyond a 4th grade level, yet he actively-meddled in the FDA's approval process (and bragged about it). We need to shame-force presidential-candidates to take the GRE or similar. -

First Conviction in Victoria for Nazi Salute: Self-Proclaimed Nazi Faces Sentencing
Yet they won't be allowed to evolve because any alternate interpretations can easily be characterized as hate. The new pieties are always the old heresies. By having this debate, you are-- very slowly-- grasping that there is no way to come up with this imposition of religious sentiments without deeply damaging my right (and their right, and your right) to constant rigorous debate and discussion ("dialogue"). I'm tempted to ask for a law of Rationalophobia. Demanding that a religion's sentiments from another time should trump my rationalist, humanist values is grotesque. The sheer struggle, the incredible sacrifices that were made to get the church off our backs through many centuries should not be sheepishly given away by the naive sentiments of the hippy flower-power generation. I will not allow the old to steal my future. You must not succeed. -

Why is the MAGA movement so susceptible to crazy conspiracy theories?
Thank you for the detailed reply. I am aware of when Russia entered the ongoing conflict, which began with the Coup in 2014. Ukraine was (again) violating Minsk, by shelling Donbass - as they had over and over - but, this time, clearly preparing for another offensive. The Minsk agreement was binding on Ukraine and the "breakaway" areas, which had refused to accept the anti-ethnic-Russian Coup'd government installed. It was only "in pieces" because Ukraine refused to honor it. And, again, Merkel ADMITTED it was just a ruse from the start, after she left her PM position. As to the "EU" trade-block - the issue was that they wanted Ukraine to join, but Russia said this would invalidate their free-trade agreement with Ukraine by allowing European products to flow through. The then-president of Ukraine was aware that wrecking their huge and beneficial trade-relationship with Russia was not a good option, and began to look for a middle-ground. The coup was launched at this point. NATO expansion was something else entirely, and Ukraine's stated intent to join NATO - plus saying they wanted nukes - was a huge escalation. As to the INF treaty - those so-called "defensive" missiles can easily become both offensive and nuclear. From your linked-article: Russia denied the accusation and President Putin said it was a pretext for the US to leave the pact. Forgive me if I do not trust "We Lied, We Cheated, We Stole" Pompeo's word on this - from the same "intelligence" which put non-existent WMDs in Iraq to start that war. Russia claimed the maximum firing range is 480 kilometers and, as the fuel cannot be changed in the field, the produced missiles could not be modified to a higher range. They even offered the USA to come inspect, which was rebuffed. The USA had no business meddling in the Nord-Stream-II pipeline - was primarily between Germany and Russia, and other EU states could deal with Germany on it. You could point out, "Well, at least Trump didn't blow it up" - which is true. As to the lethal aid - it was much more than just the Javelins: https://www.defensenews.com/congress/2019/09/25/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-us-aid-package-to-ukraine-that-trump-delayed/ ... and Javelins are not necessarily "defensive," any more than their tank / APC targets are - though both can be used for defense. My primary point, is that Trump ran on a peace platform, and delivered exactly nothing of the sort. There was some hope with N-Korea, but he blew that up by hiring infamous arch-neocon Bolton, who wrecked that hope by saying we would handle them "Like Libya" (see how that worked out for Gadaffi). -

But he did say this and it is verbatim................"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful." Which shows that he is a dumb as a bag of rocks!! -

Ukraine ... Enlighten yourself
A LOT of that material came from the good ole USA, enough with the pro russia lies and misinformation. They didn't "win" WW2 Just because you serial post lies and repeat them does not make them true Could Russia have won WWII without the US? Nikita Khrushchev, who led the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964, agreed with Stalin's assessment. In his memoirs, Khrushchev described how Stalin stressed the value of Lend-Lease aid: “He stated bluntly that if the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war.”May 2, 2023 Did the US Lend-Lease to Russia in WW2? Lend Lease to the Soviet Union. Assisting the Soviet war effort American Lend-Lease eventually transferred over $11 billion dollars of goods to Soviet Russia—roughly the equivalent of $250 billion today.Jul 29, 2024 Would the Soviet Union have lost without lend lease? Stalin said himself that if it wasn't for lend lease, the Soviets would have lost. Khrushchev and Zhukov said the same thing about lend lease. It took a combined effort to beat the Axis powers, no one nation could do it alone.Mar 21, 2024
