Trump: ‘we’re going to lose our patience’ hostages ‘looked like Holocaust survivors’
Because they need to be called out for that they are. Deliberate attempts at hijacking a topic that's about the hostages, mirrors exactly the abhorrent behaviour of some pro Hamas and Palestine supporters that go round ripping down posters of the hostages. Its vile and disgusting. They are free to start their own topics and show their true colours there. -

Trump Signals Potential Meeting with Putin in Saudi Arabia Amid Ukraine War Talks
US President Donald Trump has stated that he expects to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, likely in Saudi Arabia, following a phone call between the two leaders regarding the war in Ukraine. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump described the conversation as positive, lasting over an hour, and reiterated his belief that Ukraine’s NATO membership was not practical. Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Trump emphasized that he did not see NATO membership for Ukraine as a viable option, saying, "It would not be practical," and adding that he was "okay" with that assessment. He also expressed confidence that Putin "wants peace" and is eager to see an end to the conflict. Trump referenced recent comments from US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who suggested that NATO membership for Ukraine was unlikely, and said he believed that assessment was "probably true." While confirming that the US would continue providing aid to Ukraine, he insisted that it must be "secured" and reiterated his desire to bring the war to an end. "We want to end that war, that war is a disaster," Trump said. Regarding a potential meeting with Putin, Trump stated that it would likely take place in Saudi Arabia in the near future, though he did not provide a specific date. He also mentioned that he currently has no plans to visit Ukraine but did not rule out the possibility of doing so in the future. The road to what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has termed a "just peace" remains uncertain. The Biden administration had been firm in its support for Ukraine, but under the current leadership, the US stance appears to have shifted. Statements from the defense secretary, as well as Trump's remarks, have suggested a more pragmatic approach that may align with Moscow’s interests. Zelensky has long maintained that "there can be no talks on Ukraine, without Ukraine." However, the direct communication between Trump and Putin indicates that major discussions are happening without Kyiv at the table. Western military aid has been instrumental in preventing Ukraine’s collapse in the early days of the invasion, but despite these efforts, the country is not in control of the negotiations shaping its future. The fact that the leaders of the two most heavily armed nuclear powers have engaged in what appeared to be a constructive 90-minute conversation could be seen as a step toward peace. Trump and Putin share a notably different rapport compared to Putin’s strained relationship with Trump's predecessor, Joe Biden. For now, tensions appear to have cooled, but the long-term impact remains uncertain. While the US has taken steps toward negotiations, these developments may ultimately come at Ukraine’s expense. Defense Secretary Hegseth was explicit in outlining Washington’s stance, which largely aligns with Moscow’s interests. There will be no deployment of US troops in Ukraine as part of any future security arrangement, no expectation of Ukraine reclaiming its pre-2014 borders—including Crimea and parts of the Donbas— and no realistic path for Ukraine to join NATO. These conditions stand in stark contrast to Zelensky’s objectives, further complicating Ukraine’s position. Meanwhile, Russia continues to gain ground on the battlefield, leveraging its numerical superiority to advance deeper into Ukrainian territory. As diplomatic efforts gain momentum, Ukraine finds itself increasingly sidelined in discussions about its own future. Based on a report by BBC News 2025-02-13 -

I've been denied entry to Thailand - Now What ! ?
Here is a thread. In my first post I list 3 additional thread links. They cover what's required. They should also mention form TM87. You need "Bank letter". This is simply letter from bank that lists you as owner and balance at time of printing. 100b Yes you provide bank book and photocopies. A TM30 and lease would be sufficient. You apply where you live. Note: if you apply for the Non O in Bangkok that's where you apply for your 12 month extension. In subsequent years you can change address and obtain extensions in another provience. Also: There are photocopy shops on Level 1. That is also where the banks are. If you present your passport and bankbook to then they know what photocopies you need.
