Is Trump a Russian Asset, Controlled by Putin
They're all fighting for America. 😀 As in fighting for control of America. Vladimir Putin, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk. It's like a pack of wild dogs nipping at a wounded prey on the ground before it's dead. 😳 After Trump became president-elect, laughing Russian media figures showed viewers nude pictures of Trump’s third wife, Melania, taken during her modeling career. I would imagine Vlad likes to poke Donnie by sending him a picture of Vlad holding up an old VHS tape with a KGB emblem on it with a label that says: xx/yy/2013 Donald J. Trump American Agent Kompromat Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Moscow "#2 Special , 5 girls" 😭 -

Thailand's New 300-Baht Tourism Tax: Aid or Hindrance?
That's exactly the plan being discussed by the various government departments involved in the process. The latest news about it indicates that the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) may be launched first (current target date 1 May 2025) and the tourist tax collection integrated with it before the high tourist season starts. https://www.nationthailand.com/news/tourism/40046796https://www.nationthailand.com/news/tourism/40046796 -

China’s Imminent Invasion of Taiwan: A Global Catastrophe in the Making
Real Politik Bismarck Kissinger Nixon Trump Thank God - a return to Real Politik ala Bismarck & Kissinger. Personal experience here in Thailand making our advisory efforts difficult : The unreliable & arrogant Obama /Kerry SecState (idiotic idealistic A-Holes) policy of pausing Security Assistance programs with Thailand only succeeded in turning the Thai's toward the CCP (e.g., potential Thai purchase of /involvement in an unnecessary, expensive & blackmail threatening CCP-Thai submarine program). Trump’s Foreign Policy Abandons Ideology for the Balance of Power | RealClearDefense https://assets.realclear.com/images/67/679489_6_.jpeg Trump’s Foreign Policy Abandons Ideology for the Balance of Power Twentieth century world politics saw the United States combine ideological abstractions with balance of power realities. President Woodrow Wilson sought to transform the geopolitical clash of the Grea www.realcleardefense.com Quote: "Trump appears to be channeling Richard Nixon, who during his presidency deemphasized ideology and prioritized the balance of power in conducting foreign policy. Nixon’s masterstroke was triangular diplomacy, which exploited the Sino-Soviet split to America’s geopolitical advantage. Henry Kissinger was right in the third volume of his magnificent memoirs, Years of Renewal, when he claimed that Nixon set the stage for Reagan’s victory in the Cold War. And Nixon did that by abandoning ideology in favor of the balance of power. Trump’s policy of negotiating an imperfect end to the Ukraine war and refusing to condemn Russia at the United Nations resembles Nixon’s negotiation of the imperfect end to the Vietnam War and his embrace of a de facto alliance with Communist China. Trump, like Nixon, is playing the long, crucial game of balance of power geopolitics instead of leaning on ideological abstractions like “democracy versus autocracy.” Nixon’s long game was designed to shift the balance of power against the Soviet empire. Trump’s long game is to shift the balance of power against Communist China. Trump, like Nixon, is following the geopolitical playbook of Walter Lippmann, the influential American journalist who understood, even in the age of ideology, the overriding importance of the balance of power to global peace and stability.
