Putin didn’t budge in Ukraine peace talks. Now Donald Trump may be forced to act
Trump will do nothing, he's a big bag of wind. Putin plays him like a fiddle. He tried to browbeat Zelensky into giving in, that didn't work either. -

Three U.S. ex-presidents denounce the current one in a two-week stretch
You do realize that this is very similar to how US banks function, no? Customer balances are just numbers in a balance sheet backuped up by a much smaller float as mandated by the US Federal Reserve. -

Tips from anyone who’s travelled from Thailand to Latin America (Central/South America)?
Yeah, that’s been a bit of a concern for me too. It’s actually one of the reasons I’ve always avoided most of Africa, apart from a short trip to Morocco. -

Crime Drunken Foreign Tourists Assault Thai Woman, Locals Step In with Brutal Response
I would disagree that foreigners are "generally not liked and only tolerated." My has experience has been that foreigners who treat Thai people and their culture with respect are indeed liked. Those foreigners who don't respect or understand Thailand and its people are nevertheless tolerated because they represent an important source of jobs and income. It is the "flaming assh*le" foreigners who insult, cheat or abuse Thais that are disliked and sometimes catch a kicking. The big problem is that many foreigners don't realize how badly they are behaving in the eyes of Thais. I witnessed this myself while living in Pattaya. Some farang in particular believe they are treating Thais firmly but fairly, while the Thais regard them as creeps. This is especially true about the approach some farang take with bar girls. Cheap Charlies are seen as heroes and the smartest of the smart in certain farang circles, but are mostly despised by Thais.
