Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
I would love that I machine translate a lot of articles and watch videos with cc on but that would be down to our esteemed mods and thread policeman (evening all!) to rule on - I'm merely a pleb. -

What Happened to Inflation? Bidenomics
What a bald faced, complete and utter lie! The lockdowns caused the supply chain disruptions. Not "large numbers of logistics workers" falling ill. The lockdowns caused the supply chain disruptions which led to the rampant inflation we are still paying for today. Almost your entire posts are an insult to the truth. -

Thaksin's advisor Phumtham tipped to be named defence minister
I had not considered this perspective. I am still uncomfortable, but understand your good explanation. Forgive me if I use a crude analogy: The appointment strategy is like peeing into a toilet in an attempt to removed caked on solid material. -

What Happened to Inflation? Bidenomics
What is garbage. What is factually incorrect? Did you read the paper? You are confusing a temporary disruption with long term impact. We are less than 2 years out of the crisis, and yet economies are nearly recovered. many of the problems we are facing today are because of idiotic decisions made during the Reagan era that reduced taxes on the super wealthy, and increased national debt with no investment in national infrastructure. Supply chain disruptions were caused when large numbers of logistic workers became ill and others refused to work for low wages in conditions that they deemed dangerous. That is the reality. -

You sound like the kind of person who heckles at stand-up. -

Kamala Harris’s Convention Speech
He didn't put an innocent man on death row and then ensured new DNA evidence would not be admitted, though, like your feminist hero? Right? -

POLL: Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
Posting a long-winded justification of one's chosen lifestyle is all a bit sad and shallow. -

No more fast track immigration arrivals at BKK airport for biz/first class passengers?
And whoever David Flynn is, he's spreading misinformation. -

That video is titled the Ruble is cratering - as this is a Thai forum I thought I would have a look at the 5 year chart for the ruble baht. Here it is. Pretty much the same as it was 5 years ago. Same for the dollar. -

Before coming to Thailand, I had no friends.: This is why I am so happy here in CM!
Kind of like one who flew over the cuckoo's nest. -

POLL: Going short-time only, shallow or succulent?
Maybe his wife only charges him 100 Baht, which, in this case, is a much better value for money. -

Firstly if this ever does happen then it's old money not new, minted by SLB's investment and knowhow helping the Russian oil industry produce the black stuff. Then you have to balance it with abandoned and sequestrated western assets in country and a repatration of oligarch money and know how back to Russia as they have no where else to go. Finally what is the intangible loss of confidence by global dark money in the western banking system if it can be seized anytime on a whim ? Hence the rise of gold,bitcoin and other assets and a quiet repatriation of Chinese wealth back to China and a gradual dedollarization. An alternative financial world is being built which is immune to western sanctions and signals an end to the high point of US global financial dominance which has paid for endless wars whilst hollowing out the infracstructure back home. So my point that Schlumberger aided by the US Treasury has profited from removal of competitors in the Russian market and is an active partcicpant in aiding the most powerful engine of the Russian ecomomy - that economy that keeps Putin in power and bombs raining down on Ukraine. Whilst poor hapless conscripts get butchered in Ukaraine - US oligarchs in Houston get bonuses. https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/11/27/russia-ukraine-war-central-bank-reserves-assets-seize-reparations-sanctions/ “It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.” ― Joseph Heller, Catch-22
