It's also funny that the British Guardian writes about what Trump is doing in the US and doesn't write a word about what's happening on British soil, about the horrors of the healthcare system with queues lasting several months. It seems to me that this is also an element of propaganda, promoting the agenda of the British government, and a distraction from the problems "underfoot".

What I see from news NIH cuts 450 mln from $3.953 billion of US HIV research budget. And not just cuts, but cuts specifically 145 grants. Are you sure, what specialists made wrong choice and journalist made right choice in criticizing? But most I wonder: why title of this thread is named "Trump kills..." - it is pure speculation and leftist propaganda.

As usual: when you have no arguments, you helplessly switching to me and Russia.

Weak argument: for 200 years in the US, slavery was also popular business (at least in some states), need we continue? You and I both know that USAID was not doing charity, but spreading soft power. Well, here it is: the money ran out. You probably help the guys in Thailand as much as you can. But what will you do when the money runs out? Take out a loan to help?

You do realize that this is a comparison of the president to a crisis manager, and not a message about Trump regulating toilet paper costs?

I understand the feelings of people in Jakarta, but shouldn't the Indonesian government be concerned about its citizens? Why should a US taxpayer pay for medicine all over the world? Now you will write to me that I am defending Trump (whom I have repeatedly called an orange clown on the pages of this forum), but I must say that Trump is taking logical steps from an economic point of view - he is pulling the US out of the whirlpool of bankruptcy. Already, the cost of servicing the US national debt is greater than the cost of defense. Already, rating agencies are skeptical about the US's ability to pay off the national debt. For several years now, the US Treasury has been sounding the alarm because the money in the state treasury is running out noticeably before the end of the financial year, and the parliament is raising the debt ceiling every time. If something buries the US, it will be the national debt and the inability to service it. And the most vulnerable spot is the transition of international trade to alternative currencies. And the most vulnerable spot is the transition of international trade to alternative currencies, which was sharply stimulated by the sanctions of Joe Alzheimer and only in the last 5 years the share of the yuan in international trade has grown 4 times, and only in 2024 - two times. The yuan is already ahead of the Swiss franc and it is not long before it will overtake the British pound. The Global South's gradual abandonment of US dollar settlements, the reduction of these countries' reserves in Fed depository receipts, and the sharp increase in gold reserves are all very alarming signals. Personally, I think that Trump and Musk are saving the US economy. Well, or at least they are declaring the right direction of movement: the US is now in a situation where the country needs crisis managers. Nobody likes them, they are firing hundreds and cutting companies' spending on coffee and toilet paper, but the companies are surviving.

Well, manufacturer of metal has roots not in China, but in India. https://tracxn.com/d/legal-entities/thailand/xin-ke-yuan-steel-company-limited/__M9pvJJttj_z-SKcYFLHrHdpeJs_uCHYh-TERmD4G4sE

It can't be predicted. Especially, in that case: Thai had no idea what tensions are in Myanmar underground. And wave from epicenter has speed from 6 and up to 15 km per sec. Btw Mandalay and Bangkok only 750 km. Wave reached Bangkok form 30 up to 120 seconds. Thai seismo-sensors got signal a the same time, as wave arrived to Bangkok.

Why it should be dangerous?

If you really need a conspiracy theory, you should think not about the fact that the documents could show a lack of materials, but about the fact that they could show something extra, like spy caches, antenna arrays, etc. In the 90s, the United States was forced to demolish a new, newly built embassy building in Moscow when it turned out that the metal reinforcement in the walls was laid in such a way that it not only strengthened the walls, but also amplified and transmitted all the radiation from phones and computers to the outside, and it was practically impossible to shield it. The building was built by a Russian company hired by the US government. Then this building was completely demolished and rebuilt by an American company.

This doesn't make sense - because unlike papers, you can't take the materials away. And no matter what papers the Chinese carry, if the materials in the ruins are unusable, as written above, then the reason is clear. And as for the papers - these are definitely conspiracy theories. The papers are made before construction, they are not diaries of "how we built it wrong". No one in their right mind would document their violations. Or do you really think that the construction manager kept records there like "today I replaced one metal with another"? If this company had double construction accounting, it was not on the construction site, but in the office, and most likely in China.

Sure, why not? I'm sure, there are a lot of such rusty iron in Ukrainian garages in the occupied territories... the rebels of the Donetsk Republic (2014-2022) probably adapted them "for business"... But, most likely, this is a fabrication by the Ukrainian Ministry of Disinformation or leftist Western propaganda, because if these were Russian army vehicles, they would have identification marks on them.

This is not important at all: when the company received a building permit, it submitted at least one complete set of documents to the permitting authority. So this is a conspiracy theory. But this is interesting, if it is true. Now question: who is supplier, because construction company for sure doesn't manufacture this metal itself. And here are 2 possibilities: they used not JIS SD50 or they used properly marked, but forged by manufacturer JIS SD50. To whom, who has no idea what is SD50 metal

Much like the US Army follows the "thou shalt not kill" commandment.

I'm just 5 weeks from Bali and have no one Balinese (Indonesian) stamp in my passport.

You may spend some days on Bali, if Indonesia is visa free for you, because they do everything paperless on the border and don't stamp passports. Just make online customs declaration within 48 (or 72?) hours before arrival.

How many buildings in EU you know from 5th century BC? Parthenon in Greece is from that time...

You are racist. And the Chinese built the Great Wall, which has been standing for thousands of years. And their Wild Goose Pagoda has survived hundreds of earthquakes. And only idiots shout at every corner about the reasons for the destruction of an unfinished building, without understanding anything about construction or earthquakes. And less than half a day after the event. Hysterical squirrels. Are you familiar with the words "load-bearing structures", "strength gain period", "core of a high-rise building"? Are you aware that unfinished buildings do not have a design strength at all? And the strength of, for example, a building with a pre-stressed core can be 100, or even 1000 times higher than that of the same building, but in an unfinished state? This is not like building houses with your grandchildren from blocks. "Expert"... From 94 tallest buildings in World 52 are constructed by Chinese, 5 from Top-10 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings

But they lie with equal skill. Karin lies better and more subtly - more experience and education. The main job of the press secretary is to deceive the press, declaring failures as victories, broken promises - the flexibility of politics, passing off pleasing idiots as heroes, and unpleasing heroes as idiots. The main tragedy of the press secretary is that he is obliged to repeat after the boss, the boss's boss and the main boss and never tell the truth.

No. During Assad's time in Syria was secular criminal law. Homoacts were criminalized with penalty 1-5 years. Now there will be Sharia law. And we all know what may expect gays under Sharia law.
