So say YOU! But, very few, in my opinion, would be willing to make such an absolutist statement, such as you have just made. -

Poll: Do you want Ukraine to WIN in the Russia-Ukraine war (it's a binary choice)
You have not provided any evidence of Blackrock purchasing large amounts of land in Ukraine. All that you did was put up a link to a Russian government representative making the claim. The other link is to an opinion piece by Bradley Devin. None of what you posted shows that Blackrock has purchased large amounts of land in Ukraine. Where is this purchased land? You do not know. When was the land purchased. You do not know. How was the land purchased. You do not know. In effect all that you have done is either intentionally or unintentionally through ignorance repeated a lie put out by Russia in 2022. Your claim is a variation on the exposed Russian lie that US companies purchased 17 million hectares of agricultural land in Ukraine. When the Russian propagandists released their lie, which ignorant idiots accepted without challenge, the Russians cited their source as an Australian site called Australiannationalreview.com, which does not provide any evidence to prove these claims. According to the State Service for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre write StopFake, 0.26 million hectares were sold in Ukraine during the year of operation of the land market. This figure is about 0.8% of the area of agricultural land (32.6 million hectares) entered into the geocadastre. Thus, the data on 17 million hectares operated by Kremlin propagandists is 65 times greater than the area of agricultural land actually sold in Ukraine. It gets better. The Australian publication is operated by Jamie Mcintyre, the self described freedom fighter and entrepreneur. Australians may recall Jamie McIntyre as the real estate promoter whoin 2016 was banned from corporate life and offering financial services for a decade as part of corporate regulator ASIC crackdown on land banking. Nice reliable source you got there. I will ask again. Where is the land that is purchased, you know address, location, region? If you are going to claim lots of land was purchased, then surely you will know where it was done. You are indeed regurgitating a Russian lie. Either you are doing this intentionally as an agent of Russia disinformation, or you have been duped and refuse to admit it. You are a classic example of how conmen like Trump succeed. -

House gop push bill that links federal funding to a citizenship check for new voters
I have shown photo ID every time I voted Then the poll workers check name off the registration list. There are other options “Voter ID” is a GOP trick to disenfranchise certain minorities no different than “tell me how many jelly beans are in the jar” -

Wife transfers from dependent visa to Retirement Visa in case I pass away before her.
Firstly, you should always have separate Wills for assets in Thailand and in your home Country and each should reference the other, Your legal spouse will always be regarded as the beneficiary in the event of your demise, and a Will can either confirm or change that. Not in the case of Thai spouse, who under Thai ascension law is the automatic beneficiary, unless a Will states otherwise. This as others have confirmed is why Thai banks advise you to withdraw any funds (if you have access) before advising the bank of the death. There are no repercussions in the case of the Thai spouse making those withdrawals, even without a Will, as she is legally entitled to it. I've helped Thai spouses and a Thai carer through this process 4 times in the last two years. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Now, now. The Russian agents, stooges and bots have assured us that the Russian economy is doing well. Remember that they have China and Iran on their side and when that argument fails, they shall give us a chorus of Brics, Brics, Brics. -

Best Song of Past 100 Years? Your Vote?
Only an arrogant person would have the audacity to claim one song as the "best". It is subjective and there can never be one that is the "best". If that was the case, in honour of the senior citizens residing in Chiang mai and pattay, we present the wonderful Wayne Newton; -

Western Union better than “Wise”
I've been using (Transfer)Wise for 5+ years. Money formerly arrived in my Bangkok Bank acct in 1-2 days from the USA. Fastest ever was 8 hours. Since the beginning of this year, transfers are taking 1 week for ACH transfer. -

Poll: Do you want Ukraine to WIN in the Russia-Ukraine war (it's a binary choice)
And many a male visitor to Thailand sees himself as a shining white knight arriving to save young women (and boys) from the sordid life of the beer bar. Sadly, they are lotharios both at heart and in their actions. -

Game over
Dr. Yong is entitled to his opinion. But the facts tell a different story. Right now, Thailand is merely in the normal "low" season for COVID activity after the typical post-Song Kran-mid-year surge. But just several months back in June 2024, Thailand was reporting a year's peak of 3,000+ new COVID hospitalizations in a week, 16 deaths per week and more than 700 COVID patients hospitalized in serious condition for that week. MoPH Weekly COVID report for the week ending June 29, 2024: Comparing the 2024 COVID peak in Thailand with the comparable mid-year 2023 peak, reported COVID deaths (in dark gray color) were lower in 2024 (and that's good new). But the peak of new weekly COVID hospitalizations (in red color) and the number of COVID patients hospitalized in serious condition (in dark purple color) were both HIGHER in 2024 than in 2023, not lower. MoPH Weekly COVID report for the week ending June 3, 2023: https://ddc.moph.go.th/covid19-dashboard/?dashboard=main There's nothing to suggest that Thailand won't have another similar COVID surge next spring, just as it has for the past two years -- the severity of which will only become known when it arrives. In general, certain segments of the Thai establishment have a very vested interest in minimizing anything negative about COVID because, news reports of people being hospitalized and dying from COVID (admittedly largely but not entirely involving the elderly these days) would put a wet blanket on the country's major efforts to restore its tourism activity and revenues. So there's a vested interest here to pretend that it's all just gone away -- even when it hasn't.
