Israel's Aims since 1948
Came across this interesting snippet from Tom Cooper on Sarcastosaurus And so, back then in early 1948, after few weeks of collecting intelligence, the JCS sat down and filled their report. Their answer to Truman. Between others, this explained that the Zionists were already in position of military ...

Re: Iran launches attack on Israel
Unfortunately the West has a habit of trying to impose THEIR versuon of democracy and human rights on others. May have worked in the past, but not anymore. Take Niger for example; USA official arrives at short notice (hours) and proceeds to tell the new mikitary regime what to do - kick out Wagner, ...

Re: Iran launches attack on Israel
Israel screamed it had the right to retaliate when Hamas attacked, and.the West backed.them. When Israel attacks an embassy, that was.self defence? And when Iran retaliates, the West says it is disgraceful and helps Israel. DOUBLE STANDARDS. Israel has carried out numerous assassination missions aga...

Re: climate change
Well, now 10 consecutive months of new monthly temperatute records, maybe more to come. Meanwhile, UK and Eire have had so much flooding that wintet crops have done poorly and spring crops cannot be planted. Some fields flooded for 6 months. Food shortages are possible. In Russia and Kazakhstan, ext...

Re: RTP - Body Cameras
In the west, the populace are quick to complain if they feel they have been unfairly treated by the police. Police need the bodycams to prove that they have behaved correctly. In Thailand the populace may not like the police, but seldom complain publicly. Bodycams would make police corruption more p...

Re: Future energy sources?
Saw a short documentary/news item on sodium-ion batteries. Wasn't aware of them, only sodium/sulphur which need very high temperatures. Sodium-ion batteries work similar to Lithium-ion, and are just entering commercial production. Safer, cheaper, but less energy dense - unlikely to be competitive fo...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
So the conflict began in 1947/48. Up to that point there was no conflict. So the Arab. / Jewish issues started back then when for some reason I can't fathom the UN decided to start the middle east conflicts. Sad to see some try to change the narrative. The issue is not Jews and Muslim , if it was t...

Re: Liquids on airlines
<snip> So if carrying bottles of liquid from duty free onto the plane you must buy in the last stop before your destination. It has been this way for all the flights I have taken, possibly in the high hundreds. Or buy it at your port of arrival as most international airports have a walk through dut...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
Well, Israel's true intentions are becoming clearer. Starve the Palestinians for a month, then let in a couple of aid trucks and shoot at the crowds who turn up. Israel's excuse - 'Our soldiers felt threatened'. Yeah, those Palestinian's were heavily armed, sacks, donkey carts; needed tanks to win t...

Re: Crypto-currencies: The future is now
Yes, those early adopters have usually done very well. I still think it is a high risk investment, as it has no intrinsic value or assets to back it up. And energy intensive. I always look at it like the Dutch Tulip mania or the South sea bubble. it could become utterly worthless overnight if confid...

Re: Air pollution in Udon
In our village considerably better than 12 or more years ago. A lot less garden fires now, so rarely see one except when they are clearing up at the temple. less litter, and more roads now concrete/tarmac which cuts the dust, and not so many chickens running around. Rarely see rice stubble fires the...

Re: Waiyapat
Unlikely anyone can help you. Is that a surname or a forename, or a nickname? Also, English transliteration spelling in Thailand is a moveable feast. Just far too little information. Also, remember over 250,000 people in Udon Thani city, let alone the province.

Air pollution in Udon
It is that time of year when air polllution is at it's worst. Turned on the air filter in the bedroom for only the 3rd time in 2 years last week. Just a few thoughts. Hard to say how much comes from far away, but it should be pretty uniform over the whole area, but that is not usually the case. It i...

Re: Ants
House invasions by ants used to be a fact of life in our house for years. But after tiling the whole of the ground floor over a few years (previously boards or lino on concrete) ants have declined considerably. Also possibly helped by M-in-L hatred of all plant life in the garden (now known as Yai's...
