Thai Language - how long did it take you to read, write, listen and speak Thai well?
Google translate is not bad but quite often uses the worng words or mistranslates the phrasing. Sometimes it is unintentionally quite funny too. -

‘Putin clearly won’: Pundits say meeting was ‘bad for Americans’
March 1938 – Anschluss (Austria) After Hitler annexes Austria, Churchill criticizes the inaction of Britain and France: “The gravity of the events which have occurred cannot be exaggerated. Herr Hitler’s counsels of violence and treachery are moving forward with ever-greater momentum… Do not suppose this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning.” September 1938 – Czechoslovakia Crisis (Pre-Munich) As Chamberlain prepares to negotiate with Hitler, Churchill warns: “Czechoslovakia is to be destroyed. Do not delude yourselves. Do not suppose that this is the end. Hitler will not stop. He cannot stop. He does not mean to stop.” October 5, 1938 – After Munich Agreement Chamberlain returns claiming “peace for our time.” Churchill responds in Parliament: “We have suffered a total and unmitigated defeat. And do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning, the first sip, the first foretaste of a bitter cup…” 1939 – After Hitler Seizes the Rest of Czechoslovakia (March) Churchill seizes on Hitler’s betrayal of the Munich promises: “All is over. Silent, mournful, abandoned, broken, Czechoslovakia recedes into the darkness. She has suffered in every respect by her association with France and England. … We are in the presence of a disaster of the first magnitude.” September 1939 – War Begins Britain declares war after Hitler invades Poland. Churchill is brought back into government as First Lord of the Admiralty, vindicated after years of warning that Hitler could never be trusted. Summary From 1933 onward, Churchill consistently warned that Hitler’s word was worthless, that Nazi Germany was rearming at breakneck speed, and that appeasement would only embolden aggression. His phrases — “dangerous delusion,” “beginning of the reckoning,” “total and unmitigated defeat” — captured his lonely but accurate stance in the wilderness years. Your whole long posts contains within it its own refutation. For if Churchill was right, and Britain and France could not be trusted for betraying Czechoslovkia and not standing by the security guarantees they gave her, and if future acts are solely predicated on past behaviour, then by the logic of your own post Britain and France would never have declared war because of Poland. However Britain did declare war on Germany because of Poland. Past behaviour was not an indicator of future action. So neither would Hitler's past behaviour necessarily have been an indicator of future action. -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
They asked for insurance documents again several times. I loaded all I had from AXA so hoping that is ok now... it shows term and payment. Now waiting... "Consideration by Gov Agencies" . Aside form 1099r they asked for prior and I supplied, I am hoping this is good news on processing 🙂 as I had loaded all other stuff properly. -
