My best memory of Thailand
Working in Thailand after experiencing the Spring Offensive of 1972 at Phu Bai Vietnam with nightly mortar and rocket attacks... My best memories, no rocket and mortar attacks! -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
No way in hell they are trying to defend themselves here; they are trying to take advantage of Russia, which is currently at war, and are showing the Russians who the real dog is by flexing their power. Defense would be if the Russians made some underhanded attacks on the U.S., but I can't think of any recent events that would suggest that -

Swing voters:Just a independent voter’s rant from a US Citizen
Swing voters ,Something to think about when you go to cast your vote! I doubt very much the proponents of illegal migration to the USA , could or would cover “all the financial issues “ quite like this study from 2023.imop At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States – at the federal, state, and local levels – was at least $150.7 billion. Every day, hundreds of millions of dollars in American taxpayer money are spent on costs directly associated with illegal immigration. Only a small fraction of these costs is ever recouped from taxes paid by illegal aliens, with the rest falling on the shoulders of American citizens and legal immigrants. https://www.fairus.org/issue/publications-resources/fiscal-burden-illegal-immigration-united-states-taxpayers-2023 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/illegal-immigration-costs-us-taxpayers-151-billion-year-study-finds -

Keir Starmer’s EU Reset: A Strategy Built on Falsehoods
The EU did not help. It's the problem the system of the EU has, is that you can get some foolish people in charge at the wrong moment. All it had to do was make some concessions to the UK on immigration (which could have been dealt with in the longer term, in a time when there was less volatility in the politics and an economy on the rise again). They've already given concessions to the UK on not being part of Shengen, when the reality was it made no difference other than optics. Anyone who got a shengen visa also qualified quite easily for a British visa. The EU has been hurt by this too. You say the US and Beijing simply bypass the UK, and go straight to Europe. They don't. They bypass Europe now too. Without the UK, they have lost one of the few major defense partners in the world, and one of a few nuclear powers. Look at how the Polish leadership were annoyed with the EU leaders posturing over northern ireland, when if Russia made any advances to Poland it was only really the UK (along with France) that could come to help. The structural leadership of the EU is a problem. You have different countries, leaders with egos exerting influencing for short term gain, rather than looking at the bigger picture. They will never get a better opportunity to intergrate the UK into the EU than they do now. Labour will lose seats at the next election and be weaker. Make a deal with friction free trade. Make a deal on immigration (because that's what it's about with ignorant racist fools). And then slowly intergrate. Cast bind it, so no future conservative government can undue it without massive economic pain. But will they do anything? Nope. More posture, dealing etc The EU has stagnated, whilst China, the USA, and now even India are burgeoning. All we are now is a museum for tourists. -

Which state that Trump won in 2020 will he lose this time?
You are in an information bubble. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/09/26/republicans-noncitizen-voting-no-evidence/75291163007/ In case of loss, Republicans prepare to blame noncitizens voting − which is incredibly rare --- You're also obssesswd with personally insultimg me to a truly insane kevel.

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
This chart shows the price of cars in Yuan and the equivalent price in THB and then it shows the price of the same vehicle when it arrives in Thailand as you can see the increase in price for Thailand varies by Brand with Byd with the lowest price increase for Thailand Some of the vehicles listed are not part of EV 3.5 subsidy agreement and therefore are subject to normal customs duties but it does show overall that the prices of EV's are cheaper in China compared to Thailand https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=3247565412044635&set=gm.7927927447327783&idorvanity=2389905174463399 -

Give it a rest Jingthing. You know you're not in my intellectual.league and I can see right through your poisonous obsfucation. I have seen no one else propose that Trump will enact a coup after the election. Only you - but you've always been a special type of Internet "personality." -

What a disgustimg, hateful, and massively ignorant post. Willfully ignorant. If she wins there is a 100 percent chsnce he will be fighting to reverse the result. The exciuse they will use tnis time is false accusations if mass votiing by non citizens. -

ICE vs EV, the debate thread
R.Y.1 Private passenger car with no more than 7 people for September total number 36,567 Number of EV's 4,495 market share 12.3% As for the UK SMMT has recently written a letter to Rachel Reeves MP Chancellor of the Exchequer "So far this year, one in six new car buyers has chosen a ZEV.1 Volumes are up but market share is barely moving. The van transition is even more challenged – with ZEVs accounting for just one in 20 registrations.2 The ZEV mandate demands 22% of every brand’s new car sales and 10% of new van sales be zero emission in 2024. As an industry we will likely miss those targets and a significant number of brands face the prospect of either buying credits from another company or paying swingeing compliance payments. " https://www.smmt.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/UK-Auto-Open-letter-to-the-Chancellor-ZEV-incentives-call.pdf It would appear that the SMMT doesn't agree with your assement that the UK is storming ahead with EV's
