Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
Quite right, and this became apparently already before Hitler's declaration of war on the US, the Americans were shipping massive amounts of material to Britain and escorting convoys. For all intents and purposes they were in the war on Britain's side before the declaration of war. -

world wide income taxation update
Thanks for clarifying. The Reuters article I saw was less informative than the AseanNow one and definitely no mention of expats in either. -

Statins: A Vital Consideration for Those Over 70, Study Suggests
Yes, there are independent studies that have shown statins to be effective in reducing cardiovascular risk. While the pharmaceutical industry has funded many large trials, there are also numerous studies and meta-analyses conducted by academic institutions, government bodies, and independent researchers that support the efficacy of statins. Here are a few key points about independent research on statins: 1. **Meta-Analyses by Independent Researchers**: Some meta-analyses, which combine data from multiple studies, are conducted by independent researchers without direct pharmaceutical funding. For example, the Cholesterol Treatment Trialists' (CTT) Collaboration has performed several meta-analyses examining the effects of statins. While some data used in these analyses may come from industry-funded studies, the collaboration itself is known for its independence and rigorous methodology. 2. **Government and Public Health Studies**: Some government-funded research, such as studies supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the U.S. or the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK, has evaluated the effectiveness and safety of statins. These studies often aim to assess public health outcomes rather than commercial interests. 3. **Observational Studies**: Independent observational studies have also shown the benefits of statins in real-world settings. For instance, large-scale cohort studies that follow populations over time have found that statin use is associated with a significant reduction in the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events. 4. **International Guidelines**: Organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have reviewed evidence from a wide range of sources, including independent studies, when forming their guidelines on the use of statins for cardiovascular risk reduction. While it's true that industry-funded studies are more prevalent in the literature, the independent research available tends to corroborate the general findings that statins can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, particularly in individuals with high cholesterol or existing heart disease. However, the discussion on the risk-benefit balance and who should take statins continues, with independent research contributing valuable insights into these decisions. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
The Americans did not need Britain to launch the invasion of Europe, that could have been done from other sites. By the time that came the war was decided anyway and the Red Army was marching on Berlin. You're right in a way that the involvement of Britain and the US retained Germany in the Western world, for without it Russia would have ruled over all of Germany. So it would be like Poland now basically, assuming Perestroika would have happened anyway. -

Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill
It played a major role by location, being a jumping off point for the industrial might of the US. The Germans referred to the "new" form of warfare they experienced after the Normandy landings as the "material war", they had never been up against so much armaments being fielded, not even in Russia. -

Is the Tax compliance going to be linked to Visa issuance ?
Firstly, take professional advice, as there are likely multiple ways to do this successfully. But, since you are on a forum asking for amateur advice , here goes...... avoid much complication and do it this way, more airtight: Gift to your wife's foreign account ( assuming she has one, if not, get her one) >>>> Wife remits the funds from her own foreign account to her Thai bank account >>>> Done Your tax residency status in Thailand is irrelevant. Only your wife has remitted the funds to Thailand , these funds are a gift, and non assessable and tax exempt. -

Abc’s Muir needs to make a public apology
She did say that, untrue as stated, and I am guessing she meant to say it that way to make it look like the pandemic was Trump's responsibility when everyone knows Bill Gates started it. -

Delivery of fake order
Nope, you need to get yourself educated. Many times I received wrong order, I got my money back plus kept the item. I'll give you some training, free of charge........a few years ago, I ordered 2 identical refrigerators for 2 identical condominiums I bought. The refrigerators arrived but only 1 was the model I ordered, the other was larger and a different brand. I complained to Lazada and the vendor, nothing happened so I went to my bank, filled out the form. Money was returned and I still have the fridge I never ordered (larger model), it's now my beer fridge at the back of my house.
