Russia’s economy is doomed
A tumbling Ruble and a galloping inflation signal the state of difficulty in which the Russian 'war economy' finds itself. An article published on the New Statesman describes the difficulties that Putin is facing and the reasons why Trump himself could give him the final blow. But the real reason for the current difficulties lies in choices made well before the invasion of Ukraine. 'Putin’s presidency has been little different from the Soviet era, in that he has made Russia a military giant but an economic dwarf. His gangster state has never been able to diversify; while the world buys Chinese cars and American software, the only thing we buy from Russia is oil, and the gradual turning away from hydrocarbons will eventually expose this as an appalling waste of a country’s potential.' 'Russia’s formidable levels of education and scientific prowess have been wasted, because under the Putin regime a lack of property rights and the rule of law drive its innovators and entrepreneurs abroad.' Russia’s economy is doomed - New Statesman -

Not sure why so many always like to claim far left (very minimal numbers just like far right ) for any perceived problem as if it never existed in the past under every president. You may want to check facts on your statement as you may be off base on it. Why didn't Trump have Mexico pay to build the wall? The immigration issue has been around for decades and will continue. There are a number of categories but many keep bluring the lines and lumping them together for talking points. You have legal immigrants, Asylum seekers, illegal immigrants, illegal immigrants that are offenders (but most are in jail) and you have illegal immigrants that are dangerous but in the country (no way to know real numbers) its just easier for many to lump then together and get mileage out of a wrong position just to blame someone. -

Now starting: Chiang Mai Expats Dining Group
Oxford anthropologist J.D. Unwin studied 86 societies and civilizations to see why some collapse and others don't. What did he find? That sexual debauchery leads to the collapse of a civilization within 3 generations. Without prenuptial chastity, people usually regress into the lowest "dead" category as they become interested only in their own wants and needs. They become slaves to their appetites. Cultures that have embraced total sexual freedom collapse within three generations. They might limp along for a time, powered by some momentum, but eventually, they are conquered or taken over by another culture. Quote -

Thailand Visa Exemption (60 days) and Visa On Arrival (VOA) (15 days)
I am a U.S. citizen. I was last in Thailand in January and February on a 60 day single entry visa. I will be in Thailand beginning on Dec 30th 2024 and leave on Feb 28 2024, 60 days. Under the new visa rules I do not need a visa, only a stamped entry. However, I want to travel to Cambodia for a few days and the return to Thailand. Will I get a new 60 day entry stamp? I will still leave on Feb 28 (have ticket), or do I need a 60 day multiple entry visa? ETA, do I need it? -

Help needed with one question about UK frozen state pension.
@Keith5588 As you mentioned the NHS I am going to go off topic as you might not know the following. Vachira Government Hospital in Phuket was the first to open a Foreigner/VIP Office and was the model for the ones that followed in Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, Udon Thani, Khon Kaen. I use the one in Udon and the service is 810 THB. For that you wait in an a/c waiting room. They have PR ladies who speak English to assist you. They fast track you to see a Dr though you still got some wait. I spoke to the PR girls and they showed me a long list that is most of the Thai Health Insurance Companies that they can bill direct and of course as a rules of thumb government hospitals are a 1/3rd the cost if a standard private hospital. Also note Khon Kaen Houses Queen Siriket Heart Center which only gets great reports on here (I put a link to one thread below). Udon Thani also has the Government Cancer Hospital (I put a ASEANNOW thread where it gets a great report). I was there last week checking out for a friend who is thinking of coming up to get his prostrate cancer treated. It is more like a private hospital than government one. Some of the reception girls speak English. The told me the cost is the same for foreigners as Thais. It has a new 6 story radiotherapy center. 2 of my wife’s friends work at one of the private hospitals and told me if any patients need RT they take them the government hospital and they also collect and cancer medicine from there. To get an idea on prices I asked about RT. Tye told me they have different machines and 4 types of RT and depends on what type and where the cancer is to which one you need. Anyway the costs did 30 sessions for the 4 types are 120,000, 160,000, 200,000, 240,000. I also put a link below if a Vid that shows the Foreign Customer/VIP office at Udon government hospital.
