Re: Israel and Palestinian Conflict
Israel has upset all it's neighbours over the last 75 years preferring to use weapons rather than negotiating and treating its neighbours as equals. As with the Vietnam war, the invaders will eventually have to turn tail and run, not because they are right or wrong, but because world opinion is sic...

Re: Headlines Burma ( yes Aung san says you can say Burma)
So what happens when the Junta is overthrown? Many paramilitary armies with all sorts of different goals on ethnic and other lines. Will they all lay down their arms after years of fighting? Or will the country fracture into multiple states along ethnic lines? Or just become an eternal failed state ...

Re: Attack on Mexican Embassy
How did police storm an embassy? I imagine Khmer traffic cops attacking the US embassy in Phnom Penh. Don’t see them getting in.

Re: trump in Bangkok
I can see a time when AI will be seen as a powerful political weapon to misinform, disinform, confuse and basically be used as propaganda tool, the likes of which we've never known.

Parents are OK. They live in Taoyuen, near the TPE airport. Thank you for your concerns.
Taiwan is part of the earthquake zone (just like Japan). Just not as often.

Re: UK pension reciprocal agreement or not...
Do Brits have an option for IRAs or any other additional alternative retirement plans in addition to the pension during their working years? Private pensions arrangements are very common. Company pensions are also common although not as lucrative as in years gone by. It wouldn't be strange for some...
