British Influencer's Buddha Tattoo Sparks Thai Cultural Debate - video
Do you even know what the term woke means? It means that one is aware of and attentive to societal inequities. In the good old days, it was called being respectful and socially responsible. The golden rule is a cornerstone of being woke . The people protesting are not much different than those who deride social responsibility. Like you, they wish to dictate their views to others. -

New Coronavirus Raises Concerns, But No Immediate Threat
As I said, a bunch of right-wing Trump supporting Republican politicians, some with long histories of promoting COVID-related misinformation and unsupported claims, including nutjobs like Majorie Taylor Greene, Rich McCormick and disgraced former White House physician Ronnie Jackson. And needless to say, their opinion was not shared by the Democrat members of that House subcommittee. The FBI and CIA both took the position that a lab likely was responsible, with their assessments being based on "low confidence", along with the Dept. of Energy, for a total of three federal agencies. But as the NY Times reported, the CIA and Dept. of Energy's individual assessments disagreed on what exact lab each thought was responsible. Counter to that, five U.S. intelligence agencies took the opposite view that COVID most likely emerged from a natural spillover event. Per the NY Times from late Jan.: "Five agencies, including the National Intelligence Council and the Defense Intelligence Agency, assessed that natural exposure most likely caused the epidemic. But they [too] said that they had only low-confidence in their assessment. Until now, two agencies, the F.B.I. and Department of Energy, thought a lab leak was more likely. But their theories are different. The F.B.I. believes the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The Energy Department put its bet on another lab, the Wuhan Center for Disease Control. Officials would not say if the C.I.A. believes one lab or the other was the more likely source of the virus." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/us/politics/cia-covid-lab-leak.html Re the Republican-majority House subcommittee's report: "The committee’s 520-page report, released on 2 December, offers no new direct evidence of a lab leak, but summarizes a circumstantial case, including that the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) used NIAID money to conduct “gain-of-function” studies that modified distantly related coronaviruses. [emphasis added] ... Democrats on the panel released their own report challenging many of their colleagues’ conclusions about COVID-19 origins. They conclude, for example, that the viruses studied at WIV with EcoHealth funding were too distantly related to SARS-CoV-2 to cause the pandemic." https://www.science.org/content/article/house-panel-concludes-covid-19-pandemic-came-lab-leak -

Germany’s Merz calls for ‘independence’ from US after election win
You are confusing Iraq with Afghanistan. The US claimed article 5 against Afghanistan after 9/11 in 2001, and NATO countries responded to that, and did contribute for almost 20 years, losing around 1000 European lives, and around 2500 US lives.
