Has Thailand Caught Up with the 21st Century?
They are advanced on many levels. What really holds the nation back is the lack of civil rights, law and order, an honest judiciary, fair elections, massive corruption at every level, a total lack of regard for the environment, traffic and public safety. And a total lack of reform on any level. I could go on. -

Banged up: Thai prison nightmare exposed by British tourist
Its not a prison its an immigration detention center. They have the same in the airport, bang up people who they don't want to let in until someone gets them a ticket to fly out. -

A World Redefined: The Global Rise of the Right
The left massively over-reached with their loony "Progressive" policies like discriminating against men and white people under the guise of DEI. Allowing Men to beat up Women in a boxing ring under the name of trans rights. The list goes on. This is simply a natural correction of such racist and sexist policies favoured by Liberals. Long may it continue (and it will). -

"Climate Change" is causing the LA fires...or is it?
So much misinformation in this thread. A graph which was first made in the 1960's is used to say it was warmer in the past (we didn't have all the ice core data then, we now know it is probably warmer than at anytime in the last 800,000 years). Also CO2 levels are now the highest in those 800,000 years. Volcanic eruptions? - Humanity's annual carbon emissions through the burning of fossil fuels and forests, etc., are 40 to 100 times greater than all volcanic emissions. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/736161 Did MMCC cause the California fires? NO. But it resulted in more undergrowth from recent wet winters, and drier conditions from hotter summers, meaning that these conditions increased the risk of a devastating fire. The last 5 years have seen a big increase in forest fires globally, even in Siberia. MMCC (man made Climate change) is not just about temperature, but the cascade of effects it causes, The problem is that many people focus on just one point but do not see the big picture. My scientific background includes Biology, Geology, Chemistry, Food science, agriculture, environmental monitoring and more, My interest in climate and man's effects on the climate was first aroused when i wrote a paper about Quaternary extinctions of large mammals - just a small change can cause an imbalance that leads to major changes. -

Trump signs order to pull US from World Health Organization
In his executive order calling for the U.S. to withdraw from the WHO, Trump reiterated the same issues he raised in 2020: the WHO’s “mishandling” of the Covid-19 pandemic, “its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.” He also said the WHO demand an unfair level of payments from the U.S., relative to other nations’ contributions. Tom Bollyky, director of global health for the Council on Foreign Relation, called the move “an enormous mistake,” in an interview ahead of Trump’s inauguration. “Americans have been made less safe by the president’s action today,” said Bollyky. He said the WHO plays “an irreplaceable role” in global outbreak response, and its ability to carry through with that role in future crises will be undermined by the U.S. move. Bollyky and others hope the move to withdraw may turn out to be a bargaining chip aimed at forcing reform of the WHO — reforms that would rebalance the financial contributions made by member states, institute more transparency in how monies are spent, and put pressure on China to divulge what it knows about the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic. Should the United States follow through on the threat to withdraw, it would mark the first time since the WHO came into being in 1948 that a member state has left the United Nation’s health organization. The WHO’s constitution does not even anticipate such an eventuality; there is no provision in it for countries to revoke their membership in the organization. But the joint resolution of Congress that allowed the U.S. to join the WHO at its founding does spell out the terms by which it can leave. The country must give a one-year notice and pay any outstanding bills before it can quit the organization. Lawrence Gostin, a professor of global health law at the O’Neill Institute, part of the Georgetown University Law Center, told STAT a U.S. withdrawal from the WHO would be “a grave strategic mistake.” Based on a report by Bloomberg 2025-01-21 -
