Trump is an idiot.
The fact is that the USA economy was in free fall. The bond market was boiling over. The Treasury market was filled with debt holders trying to dump their T Bills. The end result is that the USA has been forced to back off and to beat the retreat. The world was uniting against the US tariffs strategy. This is a massive fail. The USA has lost prestige, clout and it won't recover it's influence in a long time. Now that the USA is isolating China, China has nothing to lose if it invades Taiwan. It's not like the USA would impose worse sanctions. -

Trump Bets the White House — and GOP Control of Congress — on Tariffs

Connect an inverter to the mains
Forewarded my Zircon UPS to their service dept in Bangkok. So the issue was failing to switch to battery power after I had connected an extra battery to it. Got a quotation of 699 Baht, without specification of the repair. I talked to them and they claimed the mainboard and the transformer had to be replaced. Huh? That's about everything such a unit is. I declined the repair as this is almost the same price as a new one without the battery. I also don't believe what they said as the unit was still functioning as a surge protector. Enough said about Zircon. I now have a 12Ah battery and an inverter and can connect more batteries as there is no charging involved. Maybe buy me a car battery for this application. -

Commanders Face Heat Over Army Conscript Abuse Scandal
Utter nonsense? When was the last time you worked or had any direct relationship with the Thai military? You are offering talking points that are nothing but hot air. The military of countries like Thailand are not and have never been "hight tech". Even the Israeli military is not all high tech. Much of its activity still relies on boots on the ground, eyes on the terrain and direct intervention. You think the Canadian, Dutch German and other industrialized nations militares offer high tech training to their basic recruits and general ranks? You don't need high tech for driving a truck or repairing equipment or loading ordinance. Not everyone is going to fly a drone. Thailand is a nation with its own unique characteristics. The Thai military is a socialization tool. It takes rural people and introduces them to urban people and they are taught how to get along. It is the most effective teaching organization in the nation. Talk to some of the NCOs and military veterans and see if they share your opinion. Yes, there is bloat and yes there is corruption. However, your imposing the great white man's ideaology isn't going to solve it. -

Costa Rica is not comparable in any way, shape or form with Thailand. Bangkok has 2X the population of Costa Rica.
