Midair Collision Near Reagan National Sends Plane into Potomac River
And you know that because? Who are the VIPS who are transported by US Army utility UH 60 rotary aircraft? There were no VIPs on this helicopter so the continued claims and references of the aircraft being used as a passenger aircraft is nonsense and a pathetic attempt to inject your political bias. The Sikorsky UH-60 was an army helicopter on a training flight. -

Karenni Army: U.S. Aid Cuts Impact Refugee Camps, Forces Medical Transfers to Thailand
It is not being anti USA to point out who is already funding aid and who is hosting the refugees, and two of the countries you criticize are already carrying much of the refugee burden. You are dismissive of my factual statements without even knowing where the funding originates. You assume there is an anti US bias when there isn't and you have made incredibly ignorant statements. You also ignore the fact that western governments have indirectly supported the rebels because they are a thorn in the side of mainland China. As long as Myanmar's junta is a friend of North Korea, China and Russia, western governments will tacitly support the rebels who wish to depose the junta. As a result, the refugee crisis is a byproduct in part of western foreign policy, i.e. the USA China containment strategy. As per the UNHCR; Thailand hosts less than 95,000 refugees. 90,000 are Myanmar urban refugees and 5,000 from other countries. Malaysia hosts 192,000 refugees . 170,530 of them are from Myanmar. Malaysia is a smaller than Thailand , has less than 1/2 its population and has a smaller GDP than Thailand, and yet handles almost 2X as many refugees. Unlike Thailand, it doesn't hold them in refugee camps, Malaysia also has a greater burden than Thailand because nearly 1/3 of the refugees (55,000) are children. So don't wag your finger and say Malaysia should do more when the country is already doing more than Thailand and the USA. You have no idea how much of a presence Japan has in Thailand do you? Look around. The Bangkok subway system is due in large part to Japanese development aid. The Malaria research facilities and eradication activity in places like Chiang Mai was initially the result of Japanese aid. As per OECD (for the total amount of aid that is sent to Thailand); Japan is the largest bilateral donor, with a share of more than 50%. U.S. and Germany account for about 10% each.....(of the foreign aid) The major multilateral donors to Thailand are the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund) and the EU. The Global Fund supports the Thai government’s goal of eliminating three major infectious diseases (malaria by 2024, AIDS by 2030, and tuberculosis by 2035) Its initiatives also include migrant workers from Myanmar, Laos , and Cambodia. So don't start huffing and puffing about Japan doing more when it is the largest foreign aid donor by far. Singapore is a small city state and has never been particularly charitable. It will not engage in activities that annoy the PRC because of its dependence upon the PRC for economic interests. In plain language, Singapore won't risk losing its services revenues for a few thousand refugees in an area of no importance to it. That is not the Singaporean mentality. -

My Thai Tax Office Tax Filing Experience...
As mentioned in my earlier post, the assets were sold in 2024. Are you saying that it is the capital gain since the date of acquisition some years earlier that is regarded as assessable income? Or the capital gain since the 31st December 2023? -

My Thai Tax Office Tax Filing Experience...
My impression was wrong. The Department of Work & Pensions pension is the state, not the civil service, pension. It is weird that they penalise the lesser of the two.
