Report Thailand Overhauls Stimulus Strategy, Cancels Digital Wallet Plans
Meanwhile, two days ago there was this report in the paper that must not be linked to: PM says third phase of handout not scrapped Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has given an assurance that the third phase of the government’s 10,000-baht handout programme will not be scrapped.

Trump Mocks France Over WWII Commemorations, Urges Greater U.S. Recognition
Quite so, and it was the Russians who were on the ground and won the war. For several years Russia begged the US, and the UK, to open a second front to help defeat Germany.

Only when Germany was clearly on the road to certain defeat did the Americans and British dare to open that second front in Normandy. Years after Russia asked them to. If you want to know who contributed the most to win WWII you just have to look at the casualty figures.
