So let me get this straight—millions defending their country, normal wartime travel rules, and a few booed speeches somehow equals a regime “forcing Ukrainians to die”? That’s some creative fiction right there. It’s worth unpacking some of your points because there’s a lot of exaggeration and misleading framing here. Population and refugees: Ukraine’s pre-war population was about 41–42 million. Yes, millions have fled due to the conflict, but the numbers are being presented in a misleading way. Counting internally displaced persons together with refugees and assuming a “loss” of population ignores that millions remain inside Ukraine and continue to resist. Saying the population is “now 21–23 million” is wildly inaccurate. Western border “murders and breakthroughs”: There is no credible evidence of mass killings of border guards or daily “breakthroughs.” These claims are being used to sensationalize the situation. Border crossings are controlled, and the vast majority of refugees are moving legally. Men under 21 traveling abroad: There is no Ukrainian law arbitrarily preventing men under 21 from leaving. There are conscription-related restrictions for men aged 18–60 due to martial law, but the context is national defense, not “eliminating an electorate.” Framing this as a purge of dissenters is a misrepresentation. Booing of officials: Public discontent is normal in any democracy. Highlighting a single event as evidence of systemic collapse or corruption exaggerates isolated incidents. Zelensky and Western aid: Ukraine receives international support, yes, but that does not mean the government “forces Ukrainians to die.” Ukrainians are fighting to defend their country against an unprovoked invasion.... why are Russians will to die... and paying North Koreans to as well?

A fierce war of words keeps Thailand and Cambodia on edge

No mention of Trump solving this conflict 🧐 -
Would anyone blame me 🤷♂️

Pictures please... if you do any of these.

Go check it out and let us know....

A parking garage?

Looks like a night market...you're following them, no? Mahachai is a small town located in the Samut Sakhon province of Thailand, about an hour drive from central Bangkok.

So he does exist ....pretty amazing, to only 1 person 😏

I’ve stayed there, Some of the apartments look like they’re stuck in the 80s—step inside and you’ll half expect a VHS player and pastel wallpaper. The common areas have a bit of ‘housing project chic.’ But the real obstacle? Crossing the road out front. That’s less about traffic and more of a mystery for the ages… kind of like, why did Olddaddy cross the road? Except in Pattaya, he probably didn’t make it, stick to Grab if you do decide to stay there, we'd miss you here 😉

I tell them I'm straight too.... so don't tell anyone what we do.

Has he had the pleasure of meeting your whole cast yet 😳

I think @Olddaddy is too... The great thing about bars and massage shops in Thailand is you can browse without commitment with few exceptions— just loss of your time. Most people pop their head in for a quick look, and if nothing grabs them, out comes the standard polite excuse: “I’ll be back later” or “maybe tomorrow.” Think of it as the Thai version of “my roommate needs the key,” “my bike’s blocking someone,” or the timeless classic " someone is in the hospital.”

A businessman, maybe — but one who bankrupted casinos, airlines, and even steaks. That’s not leadership, that’s mismanagement. At least Putin doesn’t brag about bankrupting his own ventures the way Trump does — he just hides the corruption under the table. 😉
-
Yet he's increased it.... all cuts he's made of services for all, go to tax cuts/breaks for corporations and the super wealthy. What’s striking is how much his style mirrored strongman politics elsewhere — centralizing power, undermining institutions, and demanding loyalty over competence. From the outside, does that feel familiar to you in Russia, or do you see them as very different kinds of leaders?

Lady drivers?

Ahhh, you've been to his place, no wonder you know them so well.... I only met him in Jomtien

You want the balcony, so you can watch the sunsets over the ocean.... while getting fucked from behind 😝

Bragging about a $30 workaround card from a backdoor bank isn’t the flex you think it is. That’s like saying your house is solid because you found a crack big enough to crawl through. A truly strong economy doesn’t need back-alley fixes to keep money moving — the fact you do just proves the system is broken. And honestly, the fact you felt the need to post ‘proof’ just makes it look like you’re trying to convince yourself more than anyone else 🤷♂️ P.P.S (not trolling) I’m genuinely curious — from your perspective, do you see any parallels between the political and economic tactics Trump has used in the U.S. and the way Russia is run? For example, in terms of executive power, media control, or handling dissent?

Free door service and no thanks — your inner council really knows how to divide the votes 😉

It’s hilarious seeing your personalities negotiate with each other like a tiny UN summit 😝

Sure, you can swap rubles for crypto, but that doesn’t make the ruble any more stable or reliable. It’s like trying to fix a leaky boat with a cup of water — technically possible, but it doesn’t change the bigger problem.... and I'm not talking about balcony safety.

Doubt it, many in the red states are inbreds.... I wish people would get off Epstein Island and flight manifests.... Trump would NEVER go to his island and feel belittled because he didn't own an island himself. On the other hand, he was just a short ride to be neighborly and visit local.... lot's of shit went on in Epstein's mansions.

Expansion plans too.... Rio not until Nov RIO DE JANEIRO (NOVEMBRO/2025) SALVADOR (EM BREVE) FLORIANÓPOLIS (EM BREVE) RECIFE (EM BREVE)

Congrats on bragging about making 35% trading rubles — the same currency that only swings because it’s propped up by artificial capital controls, oil sales to China at a discount, and the Kremlin banning Russians from moving their own money freely. That’s not a ‘world-class’ currency, that’s a casino chip in Putin’s house..... Yes, the ruble bounces — because it’s volatile and manipulated. Real investors don’t call that stability, they call it risk. You can’t buy credibility with capital controls. Don't pretend the U.S. ‘lost control.’ The dollar is still used in almost 90% of all global forex trades and is the reserve currency of the world. The ruble? Barely a rounding error outside of Russia’s forced trade partners, including SWIFT transfers 🥺 You can dress it up all you want, but a currency that needs constant rescue, bans on outflows, and black-market channels isn’t ‘strong’ — it’s on life support. You’re mistaking Putin’s desperation moves for economic genius, which is why this sounds less like analysis and more like comrade propaganda 🤷♂️

Ah, the greatest hits of Kremlin spin. Sure, Russia is so strong that it can’t even build a new car without Chinese parts, its tech sector is crippled, and its middle class is vanishing. You brag about ‘buying through Turkey and the UAE’ like that’s a sign of strength instead of desperation. As for GDP — maybe read beyond the headlines. Russia’s so-called ‘growth’ is just war spending and inflated state budgets, not real innovation or prosperity. Meanwhile ordinary Russians face skyrocketing prices, a brain drain of talent, and a future tied to smuggling routes. And that debt number? Worthless when your currency is volatile, your reserves are frozen abroad, and your economy is propped up by oil discounts to China and India. You don’t prove sanctions failed — you just prove Russia is surviving like a black-market economy, not succeeding.
