Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
Two years is not the same as his announced two weeks therefore his original plan failed. Worth remembering also that his original objective was to drive an armoured column into Kiev and forcibly instal a puppet government. At that time he apparently thought he would be welcomed with open arms. Therein lies one of his problems. He has silenced all of his domestic opposition either by imprisonment or mysterious deaths so that like all dictators he is now surrounded by a lot of toadies and yes men who agree with all his utterances and hide any truth from him that they think might threaten their own position and safety. Putin will increasingly be looking for scapegoats as the war drags on and eventually his close circle will feel threatened enough to move first and remove him ,most likely by assassination. He will ultimately reap what he has sown. -

Walz Gains Favorable First Impressions, While Vance Struggles to Connect
Walz is a very likable guy. Vance is not. And Vance has no idea how to control his message and says things that no intelligent campaigner would say. Maybe Trump should start by quitting hurling derogatory nicknames and ad hominem insults at his foes. He can ding Kamala on policy without making crass comments or veering into petty pot shots about her looks or gender that might make women balk. Every time he does that, he likely loses thousands of votes. He and his running mate must certainly avoid missteps like the one Vance made in 2021, when he blasted “childless cat ladies” who run the country but are “miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made.” He also foolishly suggested penalizing women without kids with higher taxes. For real? Vance’s comments resurfaced recently and spread like wildfire on social media, drawing backlash from even conservative women. Trump and Vance need to reassure women that they take them seriously as a voting bloc, and they have no interest in pushing national policy that controls women’s decisions on family matters. The GOP ticket knows women will play a major role in deciding this election — perhaps they should start acting like it. -

Thaksin Shinawatra Rejects Need for Official Advisor Role with New PM
Why would anybody vote for a politically inexperienced 37-year-old woman for a leading role which needs lots of experience? They voted for her. Let her do the job alone. And let her fail. And then, next time, vote for someone who is competent and has experience. And with any advisor: Is it possible for any advisor to give good advice without knowing detailed fact? No. So, who will give that old advisor, who didn't live in Thailand for about 15 years, all the detailed facts? And are many of those facts state secrets which shouldn't be shared with ordinary people and especially they shouldn't be shared with convicted criminals? Arrest the daughter for unauthorized sharing of secrets. And arret the criminal for unauthorized meddling in Thai politics. Nobody voted for him. And then have new elections and see what the voters think about that bunch of lying greedy power-hungry politicians from yesterday. -

When it's actually easier to steal than to be honest, what to do?
Thai people are generally honest as am I. The store would have incurred a loss. Maybe employee is forced to pay for it as my girlfriend and some of her family members were made to pay for losses they caused to the business. So you take it, employee has money taken from them. Employee struggles to pay bills why you eat steak. Maybe employee has child so you take food away from someone's family. Maybe they can't afford to send their child to school this semester. I don't know about you but I am here to help people not hurt them. -

What Thai dishes are the lowest calories?
Crispy pork low calorie? On a bed of white rice? With a probably heavily sweetened basil compote? For low calorie, eat unsweetened sour curries or jungle curry (geng pa). Tom yam should be lo cal unless with prawns. Omelettes if not dropping in oil. Yam (Thai salad), laab (minced spicy meat), are dishes I used to pig out on when I was a keto head. Thinking lo carb might be more helpful for weight reduction diet. No rice. No bread. No noodles and no potatoes. For as long as you can. -

Longest Sentences Yet for Rioters Involved in Racist Mob Violence Across England
I am sure of course that once these judges have finished dealing with the rioters ( and accumulated a sufficiency of brownie points with their former boss to in time move up the judicial ladder ) they will be able to turn their keen legal attention to the pair from Manchester Airport - currently languishing on bail without any charges, or the gang who threatened the TV reporter at that Birmingham roundabout, or even the gang who beat up the lone man outside the pub. I hold my breath in anticipation of the foolish suggestions of a two tier police and judicial system being proved wrong! -

Jet Ski Collides with Longtail Boat: 2 Injured, 2 Missing
I am presuming 03:10 is AM... who wants to ride on a jet ski at that time which is un-illuminated as are most other small boats on the river, strong currents and god knows what else in the water. Accident waiting to happen. Surely there must be a regulation that if you're on the water during the hours of darkness you must have navigation lights? -

Editorial Immigration and the New Government
When was the last time we have seen any investigative reporting in Thailand? What you said was the understatement of the decade. Total complicity and cooperation. -

How the US Media Sees the Political Situation in Thailand
The US needs to stop thinking of Thailand as "a critical American ally in SEA". It's a nice-to-have, not a necessity for the US. Arguably more important for an expansionist China. -
