Trump Mocks France Over WWII Commemorations, Urges Greater U.S. Recognition
Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. His initial deferment was therefore legitimate. He volunteered to join the ROTC when he returned to the USA and also registered for the draft. In October 1969, Clinton had his number drawn in the draft lottery. Because his number was so high, he was not called into service. All of this is established fact. This was far more of an effort to serve than what Trump did. -

UN Aviation Body Holds Russia Responsible for MH17 Tragedy
It's just plain wrong. Russia does not control many of these pro-Russian militias. That's why the Minsk accords failed as well, the pro-Russian forces in Ukraine could not be persuaded to adhere to what Russia agreed. Russia does not control these groups. -

ID card as a picture in the phone?
For many years, we have heard that foreigners don't have to carry the passport at all times, a picture of the passport in the phone (or a photocopy) would be sufficient. Recently, I have witnessed several times how Thais used a photo of an ID card in their phone. Sometimes the photo is inside an official-looking app (forgot the name). But at least in one case I happen to know that the photo has been doctored. Is it normal nowadays for Thais to use a photo instead of the real ID? Does anybody use a photo of his DL or of the pink card instead of the real thing? -

Trump Mocks France Over WWII Commemorations, Urges Greater U.S. Recognition
It does not. The US presence in Europe in WWII had a lot to do the war with Japan and Germany's declaration of war on the USA, than it did with "saving" Europe. The Axis considered the USA far more of an enemy state than Great Britain. Churchill was a known anti communist. The USA was more accommodating of Stalin and his nation of thugs. The modern European reliance on the USA arises from the USA's insistence that Germany not rebuild its military. The USA used Europe as a buffer against Russian expansionism. The US military bases were imposed on Italy and Germany and were to the benefit of US foreign policy. Times have obviously changed, but up until the early 2000's US policy was to make Europe dependent on the USA. This allowed for ease of military sales. There was a time when the USA was a world leader. It led the way with entrepreneurship, of showcasing freedom and liberty, the rule of law and of scientific and technological advancement. That era has ended and now we see the gradual collapse of the American Empire. I didn't think I would see it in my lifetime, but all good things come to an end as they say. -

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
Events in wars are very dramatic - people die. However, ordinary people should always remember that politicians' moods change faster than thai bar girls` mood. And a country that was an enemy yesterday can become a best friend tomorrow. For example, the USA and Great Britain helped Russia a lot in World War II.
