Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
OK. Apparently, the agreement actually existed at one point, according to multiple sources. Russian Media, and the US propaganda publications Foreign Affairs and the New York Tines. I'll post some links, if that's allowed. Otherwise, people can surely look it up themselves. The Sputnik article has la link to what was published in The NY Times. https://sputnikglobe.com/20240615/nyt-claims-to-reveal-2022-russia-ukraine-peace-drafts-key-details-and-missed-opportunities-1118975487.html?ysclid=m4102jrc4q895864198 Also, From the US publication Foreign Affairs in 2022. I wasn't able to obtain a link. Maybe people can find it. It's a lengthy article, but towards the end the article references observations by "senior Administration officials" about the agreement and why it was scuttled. So, pick which propaganda you want to believe. But both sides seem to agree that there was a tentative agreement.

US Visa for Thai Citizen - Do they have an Undisclosed Quota.
That is, there absolutely is a risk of flight. Your opinion doesn't count. Owning a house and land doesn't mean she'll return. She can just rent that out or her family can live there free. She's not married. Has no institutional job, income, or career, or her own successful company, that would compel her return. No big money in her very own bank account. No family who depends on her to be in Thailand. No formal ties to the Brit--she could just dump him in the US. Yep, Thai women have been known to do exactly that. Could just be using him, long-term. But that isn't hers and they're not even married. It appears his assets aren't in Thailand, either. That's the problem. Thais who get visas DO have stronger ties. Illogical, silly, arrogant nonsense. Well, boo-hoo. Don't use it. The USA doesn't owe you a thing. No, and the reasons why not have all been explained to you. No, the rules are the same for all Thais and citizens of poorer countries. Yes, discrimination according to assets and probability of returning to Thailand is necessarily applied to reduce the number of possible overstayers. Like many here, I've known Thais who got USA visas rather easily IF they met expectations. No, not everyone who wants a visa gets one. Life is life. Nor does the USA owe you any particular convenience. Ranting, even repeatedly, will not change their position on that issue. -

Man in His 60s Falls to Death While Repairing Warehouse Roof in Chonburi
One wrong step and it’s over. Can happen to anyone. We always think we can do something until it’s too late and either stop or pay the price. Unfortunately for him it was his life. RIP
