Trump Declares No Urgency in Gaza Development Amid Controversial U.S. Takeover Plan
Say what you want about Donald but his comment got the result he wanted. The Arab world is meeting now to discuss how to avoid getting involved with the U.S. The TRUMP effect works. You have to believe. https://apnews.com/article/egypt-gaza-arab-summit-trump-16697d5c6671b5edeb0d864901fe7edc Remember, everything is a negotiation. In this case, it was do you want Israel and the U.S. to rebuild Gaza? We are ready to do so. OR do you want to get off your \assets and fix this? Same with the U.N., they start to see all that money disappearing and have to fly coach instead of 1st class. -

Photos of Monk With Woman on Jomtien Beach Spark Controversy
I rarely defend Thai "culture", but in the past few days I've seen a few monks at Bangkok shopping malls with what seems to be their relatives. They were also foreign, most likely Lao or Cambodia. Maybe has to do something with the upcoming holiday that most expats whine about alcohol -

Donald Trump Mocks Taylor Swift After Super Bowl Exit Amid Chiefs’ Crushing Loss
I dont watch the commercials, halftime show and I care naught about Taylor Swift. Its bittersweet for me because hatred of Philly is part of my DNA. Yet, since the NFL robbed the Bills of another Super Bowl spot, I swallowed my gorge and enjoyed the beating. -

Russian Airline Flight Makes Emergency Landing at BKK After Circling for 3 Hours
Airlines don't just dump fuel. It's expensive. Prior to reducing the fuel load, the pilots will run through their checklists and communicate with their command center. Unless it is an emergency, they will take the time to try and work it out. Then, they will consider a fuel dump. The aircraft must be positioned to allow a safe dump. The B777-300 ER can remove fuel at a rate of 2500kg per minute. This would mean that at least an hour would be needed to work through the full fuel load. There would also need to be measures taken on the ground to be set up for the aircraft. A broken landing gear can result in a crash that closes runways, so the airport was most likely trying to clear as many flights as possible. Also, the airline may have been reluctant to cancel the flight. It is expensive to put a full plane up in hotels and a lot of hotels want money up front from Russia first. The Russian government is notorious for late payment and trying to negotiate discounts after the fact. What technical issues? This is unlikely to be anything related to the B777. Rather it is most likely maintenance and a failure to replace parts. DEI has nothing to do with this as the aircraft has been in operation for 6 years. If there had been a defect, it would have been identified by now, because the aircraft would have undergone a heavy maintenance inspection at 18-24 months. Not at all. How many B777 have you inspected? What is the history of lanfing gear defects on the B777? Heroux Devtek which manufactured the landing gear has one of the best quality assurance records in the industry. Fuel dumps are intended to allow for evaporation.
