Teen motorcyclist dies after being hit by truck at traffic stop
tgw replied to snoop1130's topic in Southern Thailand News
I don't know how to formulate it in English/British legal terms, but even if there was no intent to kill the kid, the accident, as described, still amounts to a criminal manslaughter because of criminal negligence. The driver of the truck knowingly took the risk of driving too fast and not being able to stop the truck in time - not, as required by traffic laws, if something unexpected happened to the vehicle in front - but even for a traffic light known to be there. Thus the truck driver knowingly took the risk of killing someone - which is criminal negligence. Second - "head injuries". Several posters already asked if a helmet would have made a difference - possibly. We don't know. BUT : If she wore no helmet, Thai authorities should send a message to everyone by finding out why she girl didn't wear a helmet. If parent knew she was driving without a helmet, they should be fined (symbolically). -

except the "sparse Russians" seem to be doing fine under Ukrainian occupation, judging from dozens of videos of them going shopping, talking with Ukrainian soldiers, walking in the street, joking, etc. there is no resistance from the civilians, which is very different from what happened when the Ruzzians invaded Ukraine. -
The document talks about the "extension of NATO's jurisdiction for forces of NATO" - within Germany. It's pretty clear from the way the sentence is constructed and from the wording. And that guarantee has been fulfilled, NATO didn't extend its jurisdiction within Germany to the East at that time. What the document and the conversation was not about is other countries joining NATO.

make it an international centre for combat against propaganda, for promotion of truth and for fact-checking with funding from every country counting itself as belonging to the Free World. put statues of Goebbels and other notorious liars with murderous consequences in a pit where visitors can throw rotten eggs and tomatoes on them. and build a golf course around it.

they won't need to. and I guess nobody will argue with me when I say that this is the ultimate military power - when you don't even need to put boots on the ground. And NATO is a defensive alliance. NATO has no interest in conquering Russian territory. Russian territory, that is, as recognized by the UN. So NATO doesn't need to set foot on Russian territory to cripple their offensive capabilities. NATO's strength lies in air superiority and then air supremacy. If NATO sets its mind to it, the entirety of Russia can become a no-fly zone, and Russia's air defences and missile launchers will eat HARMs and other NATO ordinance and for the most part be reduced to smouldering memories. Russia can have any millions of footsoldiers it wants within its borders, without planes and missiles they won't matter at all and have no use except for terrorizing their own Russian population. -

MAD is the next step after the conventional counterstrike. Putler is more intelligent than you and won't make the same mistake in his calculations. -

this is simply not true, at no moment was Putler ready to negotiate realistic terms, always making ridiculous demands. It's all well explained for anyone who want to read and know the truth: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/15/world/europe/ukraine-russia-peace-negotiations.html Once Ruzzia has launched a nuke, the US will already be in a nuclear conflict with Ruzzia. Because what would it mean ? NATO and US back down in the face of a serious nuclear threat, and Ruzzia can go ahead invading other countries. And hey, India, Iran, North Korea, China can do the same. nope. the principle of mutually assured destruction is still valid. allowing Ruzzia to win by using a nuke is way more dangerous than any other scenario. even allowing people and Putler to think they could get away with it is very dangerous. so no, you can be assured that Ruzzia will suffer a conventional strike crippling its offensive capabilities. and there will be more. no-fly zones, NATO planes over Ukraine, probably destruction of one of Ruzzia's naval fleets. tit for tat. and NATO not directly responding with a nuke would be even the "nice tit for tat" strategy. so you can forget your dreams about Putler nuking Ukraine and getting away with it. Strategy 101. -

the situation was played in strategic simulations, the conventional strike was the scenario that won everyone's favour as being the best response. of course Ruzzia has the means to retake the Kursk territories - but it might be more difficult with its forces engaged in the Donbass. the incursion is in no way a threat to Ruzzian statehood. It's time for Putler to quit his Hitler-reenactment cosplay and stop the stupid games. Ruzzia leave Ukraine be, go home. -

there are huge mistakes in your calculations. firstly, a nuclear missile will not defeat Ukraine. big nuke or small nuke, Putin will lose on both fronts. a small nuke will in the best case (best for NAZI Ruzzia) cause 5000 to 10.000 military casualties, which can be replaced. But even a small nuke will cause Putin's accomplices to turn away from him, India and China, gone, no more supplies from there, that will cripple Ruzzia. Also, the US and NATO will probably respond with a crippling conventional strike against Ruzzia's offensive capabilities. I also believe such a strike, far from motivating Ukraine to give up will on the contrary enrage Ukraine and also all neighboring countries and more. If Putin does this, Ruzzia goes straight to hell. -

depends when. maybe the video predates the attack. the other possibility is two infiltrated Ruzzian agents. there are loads of infiltrated Ruzzian agents in the Ukrainian military. anyway, due to Ruzzia's history of lying in addition to the lack of identification on the soldiers, very little credit can be given to this video. -

answering my own question and applying Occam's Razor I'll go with the infiltrated Ruzzian agents theory, because of three reasons: - this video compromises OPSEC - I would think the Ukrainian army knows about Ruzzian efforts to paint them as Nazis and thus I would expect that the display of Nazi symbols to be strongly discouraged - there are many efforts by Ruzzia in the past to plant such false narratives: https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-is-there-any-truth-to-russias-ukrainian-nazis-propaganda/a-63970461 -

quite an interesting video. shot just at the West entrance to Sudzha on the road from Sumy. it's very interesting how the soldiers wear no recognizable insignia or colors and how the camera spends time on the Ukrainian armed forces flag on the car. can't really say if these are two infiltrated Ruzzian agents or two idiots. -

Police Officer and Her Two Daughters Found Dead in Bathroom
tgw replied to Georgealbert's topic in Central Thailand News
the story is quite unbelievable. this must have been some strong chemical to act this fast while the doors were open (I assume they all were open, that's what Thai police usually does). I would think that if smelling such an odor and trying to rescue a downed person in the bathroom, I would hold my breath for the time it takes me to drag that person out. ... one thing the police should look for is if the bathroom door can be locked and unlocked from the outside. -

no no ... there is only one side TARGETING civilians, and it's your darlings the Ruzzians. indeed, your buddies the war criminals did far worse, but that isn't the point. the point is that your idols are targeting civilians, which amounts to mass murder and make it a war crime. I don't believe you are stupid, so that makes you an enemy agent and a criminal under section 14 of Thailand's Computer Crime Act, deliberately posting lies and disinformation. -
