PM Paetongtarn's Policy Statement critisised as Echo of Thaksin’s Vision
Not elected? Everyone of them were including the scums from PPRP. I know you wanted MFP be the government but they couldn’t form one when given the chance so they only got themselves to blame. PT have as much legitimacy to be the government too and MFP were offered first dips but couldn’t complete the task. -

Western Union better than “Wise”
An interesting discussion. Why would it take a week, did you only just open your account with Wise? It appears that Western Union has improved their exchange rates and are not shaving the rates as much as they used to for their commission. The only thing with Wise is that they have an option of sending different currencies as opposed to Western Union which I do not believe have that option of a foreign currency account. -

They can say what they want ...all they will do is open the borders for more cheap tourism. An addiction to cheap mass tourism and not diversifying the economy is horrific. -

The Increasing Dilemma of Prince Andrew: A Royal Scandal Exposed
I'm a Yank, and I'd actually carve out 2 hours or so to watch a historically accurate documentary about how the Royal Family got into the situation they are over the past 80 years (maybe 120 years to include WW1). But I'm going to watch the reviews before deciding whether to watch a docu-drama on Amazon. I have Prime already, but my time and patience are worth something. I've already wasted half an hour each of a bunch of crappy movies before deciding I couldn't stomach the next hour and a half. -

Any advantages to retirement over marriage visa?
Yes it is fairly easy to change from one method to the other. As I mentioned earler you don't need 12 months on a very first application. There is an execption in place for people just arriving in Thailand and I am quite sure you could claim that to be the case. In the attached document you can see down in the bottom left hand corner of the first page how it is applied. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
In fairness the Luftwaffe evened things up in the first 3 days: a Soviet archival document recorded the loss of 3,922 Soviet aircraft in the first three days against an estimated loss of 78 German aircraft Main articles: Axis and Soviet air operations during Operation Barbarossa and German-Soviet air war 22 June 1941 Luftwaffe reconnaissance units plotted Soviet troop concentrations, supply dumps and airfields, and marked them down for destruction.[218] Additional Luftwaffe attacks were carried out against Soviet command and control centres to disrupt the mobilisation and organisation of Soviet forces.[219][220] In contrast, Soviet artillery observers based at the border area had been under the strictest instructions not to open fire on German aircraft prior to the invasion.[115] One plausible reason given for the Soviet hesitation to return fire was Stalin's initial belief that the assault was launched without Hitler's authorisation. Significant amounts of Soviet territory were lost along with Red Army forces as a result; it took several days before Stalin comprehended the magnitude of the calamity.[221] The Luftwaffe reportedly destroyed 1,489 aircraft on the first day of the invasion[222] and over 3,100 during the first three days.[223] Hermann Göring, Minister of Aviation and Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, distrusted the reports and ordered the figure checked. Luftwaffe staffs surveyed the wreckage on Soviet airfields, and their original figure proved conservative, as over 2,000 Soviet aircraft were estimated to have been destroyed on the first day of the invasion.[222] In reality, Soviet losses were likely higher; a Soviet archival document recorded the loss of 3,922 Soviet aircraft in the first three days against an estimated loss of 78 German aircraft.[223][224] The Luftwaffe reported the loss of only 35 aircraft on the first day of combat.[223] A document from the German Federal Archives puts the Luftwaffe's loss at 63 aircraft for the first day.[225] Also the Germans destroyed 20,500 tanks in 1941. Despite this, the Soviet corps equipped with these new tanks [T34] lost most of them within weeks.[106] The combat statistics for 1941 show that the Soviets lost an average of over seven tanks for every German tank lost.[107][108] The Soviets lost a total of 20,500 tanks in 1941 (approximately 2,300 of them T-34s, as well as over 900 heavy tanks, mostly KVs).[109] The destruction of the Soviet tank force was accomplished not only by the glaring disparity in the tactical and operational skills of the opponents, but also by mechanical defects that afflicted Soviet armour.[110] Besides the poor state of older tanks, the new T-34s and KVs suffered from initial mechanical and design problems, particularly with regard to clutches and transmissions. Mechanical breakdowns accounted for at least 50 percent of the tank losses in the summer fighting, and recovery or repair equipment was not to be found.[110] The shortage of repair equipment and recovery vehicles led the early T-34 crews to enter combat carrying a spare transmission on the engine deck.[111] That the Soviets were able to massively outmatch German tank and aeroplane production as the war progressed is not disputed, but the Germans destroyed them at almost the same rate. -
