Hawaiian shirts
"As do I - almost all second hand from market stalls. And I wear them year round. " Love finding a cool Hawaiian shirt in a market stall. Makes me feel like Indiana Jones finding an ancient artifact. -

Zelensky - what possessed you?
The MAGAs will no doubt do their best impersonation of a yapping chihuahua because of the source of the LINK here, but if they took the time to watch, they might be surprised at who the first speakers are in the vid, people who made comments and voiced opinions about Ukraine and Putin before they were co-opted by the traitor who currently occupies the Oval Office. Current Sec State Current National Security Adviser Current Sec Def What each of those men said in the past was their real opinion, before they became suck-ups and quislings. Even Lindsey has two statements, one before he became afraid of exposure, the second much different one today. The former NSA John Bolton suggests both Rubio and Waltz resign in order to save their reputations. Looking at the actual video of the disaster in the WH Friday, it certainly looks as if Rubio has that on his mind. More than anyone in the current clown car Administration, Rubio knows the dangers of dictatorship and allowing an autocrat to do what he wants unfettered by good people (remember Edmund Burke's quote). Rubio's parents immigrated from Castro's Cuba, and no doubt Rubio got a home education growing up. Santayana's famous quote about the failure to learn from history used to have negative champions in the form of Neville Chamberlain and the Bush II administration. Had Bush II listened to what the agency advised, he would have taken out the al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan and left the country alone. No way he would have let the Neocons talk him into Iraq. Something as simple as reading Peter Hopkirk's The Great Game would have told him what would happen in Afghanistan, as Russia and the UK had learned long ago. Compared to the current willfully ignorant or uncaring POTUS, Bush II was a Rhodes Scholar reading history at OxBridge. The current POTUS knows nothing about history, and either is unaware of how psychopaths behave (he is likely on the spectrum himself) or simply does not care. Certainly he is incapable of empathy, which is one hallmark of a psychopath, and he also lies as easily as he breathes, which is another. It doesn't take a deeply analytical mind to know what Putin's intent is...rebuild the Soviet Empire, as flawed and failing as it was. The Europeans know, which is why they are likely to continue supporting Ukraine. It's nice integrity exists somewhere, as it's long gone in the USA. POTUS wants to split the world into 3 spheres of influence...Russia in Europe, China in Asia, and Canada/Mexico in the Americas (of course he thinks the US, but the US is now in decline). So ignorant is POTUS, he fails to see that the alliance he is now destroying---NATO---was responsible not only for the security the US has enjoyed for the last 80 years, but also its economic prosperity. That is all in jeopardy now. Enjoying the clown show is Xi. He knows he can now take Taiwan anytime he wants, and also continue to ringfence India by additionally owning Myanmar and Pakistan. The Gwadar airport noted in another thread is just part of that, like the 14,000 foot runway China had built at Myanmar's new Mandalay airport, capable of handling China's largest military aircraft fully loaded, and way more than Myanmar's ATR 42s required. Perhaps by the end of 2025, China will have taken Taiwan, and POTUS will support that aggression, despite the commies not ruling Taiwan for a single second in history. Watch the vid. See real opinion vs toadying. Let's see if either Rubio or Waltz have any integrity remaining. -

Controversy Erupts as Thailand Claims Uyghurs Chose Deportation
The corruption and lies in Thailand are unbelievable ... This is another proof. Human Rights are unknown here as how is it possible to detain people for so many years without even a lawyer... Thailand should be punished for this by the international community. Let the Chinese take over Thailand and make it a province like they did with Taiwan.. It should fit better for Thailand as they are already only fixed on China -

Retirement extension
Good. If for some reason the extension is not granted, you would be aware of good border run companies doing border bounce from Pattaya to Cambodia. Worry about that after Tuesday.
