Re: Udon Potash mining status
The full assay done decades ago showed up to 21 years of Potash reserves. When the mines are operational they can provide all of Thailand's potassium based fertilizer needs. The license for the mine stipulates Thailand's needs must be fully met before any exports are shipped... Don't know if that wi...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
221 Palestinians killed in the West Bank.. No breakdown on how many were combatants. Kinda like the news media trumpeting last week "150 Palestinians released in hostage swap including children". No listing of ages and what crimes they were in prison for. Another story trumped how a female "Palestin...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.
seems to me the Israeli entrance into the hospital and clearing it of Hamas fighhters (how many ditched their "uniforms" and beat feet in civvie?) means that the Israelis now have the responsibility for the well being of the patients and the hospital. They should be trucking in fuel, water, food and...
