White House Condemns Tucker Carlson’s Interview with Holocaust Denier
From your own link: "The Soviet POWs were the first to feel this. Within a few months two million of the 3.35 million prisoners, that had been imprisoned until the end of 1941, died from cachexia due to insufficient food rations, lack of medical care and lacking protection against heat and cold. " So this exactly what Cooper was talking about. It indeed seems logical that once some Soviet POWs were transferred to the Reich their food rations and general conditions improved. In other words, food in Germany was more available than in some remote recently conquered part of Soviet Russia. This also explains in part (there are are other reasons) why only 3.5 percent of American/Canddian/UK etc POWs, perished, but so many more Soviet POWs died, more than 50%.. However, we're not really talking about Germany, we're talking about the situation in the territory conquered from the Soviet Union and other parts of Eastern Europe. It was not the same situation there as was found in Germany. "Starvation and its associated illnesses killed about 20 million people in Europe and Asia during World War II, approximately the same as the number of soldiers killed in battle. Most of the deaths from starvation in Europe were in the Soviet Union and Poland, countries invaded by Germany and occupied in whole or part during the war." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_agriculture_in_Nazi_Germany Since starvation did kill 20 million people during WWII Cooper seems to have been correct, that this was one of the main, but forgotten issues. Quite perspicacious of him. And indeed he was also correct in that the majority of those deaths were in Soviet Russia, ie Russians and Russian POWs. -

Rising Wave of Anti-Semitism Sparks Fears of a Dark Future for Jewish Communities
Because Israel is an ally which depends on a lot of support from the West particularly the USA. And allies should be subject to harsher scrutiny. -

Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II
Not true to my understanding, however I could be wrong . USA exchanges date to my understanding with several countries like Germany, Singapore and others. Example: https://www.iras.gov.sg/news-events/newsroom/entry-into-force-of-reciprocal-fatca-iga-with-the-united-states-of-america -

Trump Pledges to Restore Free Speech, Labels 'Fake News' a Threat to the Nation
In this case the supreme court agreed with the 5th circuit that 1st amendment violations where likely committed as seen in my quotes above...they however dismissed the case because the plaintiffs could not show "standing" which I believe means they could not show smoking gun evidence that they themself where personally targeted ( in other words the court dropped the hot potato using a "technicality" to kick a judgment down the road) ....however the recent letter from a certain Mr Zuckerberg might change that "standing" ??? and I believe other cases are in motion. -

Some of the biggest right-wing social media stars became unwitting mouthpieces of Russia
Trump does more corruption than any politician x1000 & playbook is to blame others for doing what he's about to do so he normalizes it. $10 Million in cash from Egypt's dictator to Trump in duffle bags doesn't even make the news. He's in love with dictators & threw the US govt appointed stenographer out of the room while meeting Putin... nothing registers with his sheeple. -

What was your job (profession) when you moved to Thailand
MD for a corporation and resigned to start new specialized chemical company in Thailand. Being 18 years since and went through 2 coups, 1 financial crisis and a big flood that ravaged my warehouse. Didn't lose any money and still giving me a decent profit every year. -

Musk the useful idiot
Farms? The rich are already investing massively in farms. Like a guy who is apparently your hero, Bill Gates. Hospitals? Thanks to privatization public hospitals are being taken over and often closed in the pursuit of profits. There are areas of the US that are now hospital deserts where pregnant women can't get health care thanks to those closures. Roads? Toll roads actually make money for governments. Why give that up to private interests? -

Musk the useful idiot
Are the people that hope to be the recipients of those raised taxes, and for that reason vote for the people proposing to raise taxes, not greedy? -

Rising Wave of Anti-Semitism Sparks Fears of a Dark Future for Jewish Communities
Yes, that is what Anti-Semitism is , its when you treat Jews differently to how you treat everyone else ., When you ignore all the other wars in the World and JUST criticise Israel for waging war, that is indeed Anti-Semitism -

Rising Wave of Anti-Semitism Sparks Fears of a Dark Future for Jewish Communities
Looks like you have a few admirers here. Your post is very pathetic. You have no idea about antisemitism. If you were on the receiving end then you would have a clue. You say you have a Jewish friend but I doubt that!
