So it's perfectly ok for Russia to interfere with aviation communication channels

The headline does say "suspected"  but I would not be surprised if the Russians are jamming or interfering with GPS signals as part of their war effort...I remember during the Gulf wars that the Americans reduced the accuracy of their civilian GPS signals in the area of conflict.  Naturally Uncle Sam kept his less than 1 meter accurate signal to help bomb the Iraq's to oblivion.

Ah yes it's Europes fault that Russia invaded Ukraine.

Yes it is at least partly Europe/US /NATO's fault they promised after the fall of the Berlin wall not to expand NATO further east towards the Russian border.

They incited/encouraged the 2014 Maidan coup  that ultimately lead up to the war ongoing today.

Yes watch out for ants nesting in the electronic switches, for some reason they are atracted to electronic/magnetic fields causing havoc to many appliances...I've found the naptha balls sold in small packets at Mr D.I.Y and some 20 baht shops strategically placed

deters the little buggers for a while but needs topping up as they evaporate over time.

 

You can getan RO machine with 3 stage pre filter and  filtered water holding tank for a few thousand baht on lazada...on first use you need to discard the first 5 or more tanks of water due to carbon filter leaching and a plastic/rubber taste from the holding tank.
