They sure would. I've had this conversation with not a few Thais from there. He's being a simplistic foreigner throwing them all together just because there were some shared roots.
Yep. We'll end up being like North Korea where EVERYONE falls all over themselves trying to profess their love for Dear Orangutan lest they be strapped to a canon and blown to smithereens for treachery.
I am not familar with the city water of Bangkok, but in many a developing-world city the water supply has heavy metals and other toxins leaching into the ground or river source due to improperly disposed industrial water and waste upstream. Boiling does absolutely nothing to remove these toxins. And water softeners add sodium to your intake.
If somebody has recent research about the BKK water supply, would be much obliged. Oh, and the "I'm drinking it and I feel fine" comments are only helpful for short-term visitors. Anyone living here for years can be exposed to harmful buildup of metals in the water supply. It's doesn't slap you in the face right away.
Furthermore, they will gin up false charges of "treason against the US" to strip people of their citizenship. If clapping and cheering at a college protest constitutes "interfering with US foreign policy objectives" you can be damn sure Americans of color are next to be disappeared into El Salvador to never be heard from again.
In all your fastidinous about the technicalities of the terminology and legal nicities, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE REAL WORLD. It's "probably important to remember" Trump, Steven Miller, Pam Biondi, Marco Rubio and the rest of the little cabal don't give a flying fu€k for the rule of law. Where have you been while they have willfully defied court orders and deported protected US persons? Where have you been while they have usurped Cngressional authority and illegally ordered independent regulators fired? Where were you when Trump tried to overturn the results 2020 election, for that matter??
But in the here and now, get caught up. Trump alway tells us what he's planning to do. Get reading:
Who knows what remains of those in the US? But this package was prepared in Thailand by a Thai marketing team. As much as I'd love to blame this on the Orange one, this is a local product with just the name Kellog stamped on it.... Ah, what h€ll, let's blame the Orangutan anyway. He deserves all the blame he gets.
