House Approves Sanctions on ICC Over Netanyahu Arrest Warrant
You don't take a knife to a gun fight. It's about time Western governments took the gloves off. In order to achieve this, weak pearl clutching pandering Liberal/progressive governments will need to be removed. With the exception of the UK that seems to be happening. Better late than never.- 1

Guess I'm forced to respond once again because you have misquoted me left and right by way of purporting to know my 'thinking'. I have never thought, or said, in any post and at any time, either on this thread or any other thread on Thai Visa or Asean Now, that property ALWAYS increases in value. What I said was 'Real estate appreciates.' There are always exceptions and, of course, not every property always increases in value, as you, and everyone else, well knows. Duh. I suppose you have to dot every i and cross every t even if something is common knowledge. But, yes, it has certainly been my experience that, as an investment, real estate appreciates, some short-term and some over time--see my foreclosure example in a previous post for one that took several years after one of the 'troughs' you mention. I also never said you can buy a condo today and sell it next month at a profit--although I'm sure some have done just that at certain times and in certain hot markets. I have not. But, I have sold some condos at a profit having held them for less than a year. That can work if you've gotten a low off-plan price and the condo project has increased in value by the time it opens. See The Base Central Pattaya, as one good example. Wish I had had more than just one of those. That can also work if you buy, say, a View Talay condo shell in foreign quota at a low, unfinished price, take a few months to finish it, and then sell it in less than a year at a profit to a foreigner who wants the work done for him. Years ago, when VT was still the big cheese, I did have more than just one of those. None of this is brain surgery or rocket science--thank goodness. Whether I build a property to either live in or sell, or buy a property to fix up and either live in or sell, has absolutely nothing to do with whether the property will increase or decrease in value. Flipping, or not flipping, does not enter into a property's current or future value. You are also incorrect when you say it takes 'a very long term' for 'property as an investment vehicle' to increase in value. It certainly can take a long time but to state 'for clarity purposes' that that is always the case is wrong. There are very few 'always' in real estate, in my experience. Rather, real estate has tons of variables and does not lend itself to the blanket statements you make. -

House Approves Sanctions on ICC Over Netanyahu Arrest Warrant
Since always? Simply not true. I suggest you start here then do some research on IHL Rule 14 "Civilians cannot be made the object of an attack, but the death/injury of civilians while conducting an attack on a military objective are governed under principles such as of proportionality and military necessity and can be permissible." Back on topic, here some more reasons why the warrants are worthless, this time from UK experts.
