Speaking to India&#x2019;s state broadcaster Doordarshan during his recent visit to New Delhi, Min Aung Hlaing admitted the project has been suspended since the 2021 coup. He insisted reopening the road and border gates is a priority, but acknowledged that normalcy along the frontier is essential.  The regime has recently recaptured the strategic towns of Falam and Tedim in northern Chin State after months of heavy fighting. Troops are now being deployed southward to reclaim Mindat, Kanpetlet and Matupi. Yet large areas remain under the control of Chin resistance forces, who continue to disrupt military advances.  Analysts are sceptical of the junta&#x2019;s ambitions. A veteran observer noted that holding Kale and Tamu alone is insufficient, as securing Sagaing, Mandalay and Karen State would also be necessary. &#x201C;His ambition to connect India to Thailand is beyond the military&#x2019;s capacity,&#x201D; the analyst said.  The highway, stretching more than 1,200 kilometres from India through central Myanmar to Thailand&#x2019;s Mae Sot, is seen as a vital link for trade and regional integration. But the border is also home to separatist groups hostile to New Delhi, as well as entrenched drug&#x2011;trafficking networks. Resistance forces aligned with these groups further complicate the picture.  Former captain Zin Yaw, now a defector, warned that regime forces are dangerously overstretched. &#x201C;Min Aung Hlaing has opened too many fronts&#x2014;in Chin, Magwe, Bago, the coastal regions, Tanintharyi and Kachin. Even if he secures other places before the rainy season, I don&#x2019;t think he can gather enough forces to fight for the border,&#x201D; he said.  Both Myanmar and India have conducted joint operations against insurgents along the frontier. In May, Myanmar&#x2019;s military chief Ye Win Oo met India&#x2019;s navy chief in Naypyitaw to discuss coordinated action. During his India trip, Min Aung Hlaing also assured Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Myanmar would not allow its territory to be used against India&#x2019;s security interests.  Despite these pledges, analysts caution that resistance groups retain the ability to disrupt the route at any time. With the monsoon looming, the regime&#x2019;s push to reopen the highway may prove more symbolic than practical.   -2026-06-09</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/IndiaMyanmarThailand_Trilateral_Highway_svg.png.ed5988d924eb46ff68e6395a5d190530.png" length="108191" type="image/png"/><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 01:38:41 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>German Programmer Found Dead at Pathum Thani Home</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396290-german-programmer-found-dead-at-pathum-thani-home/?do=findComment&comment=20544018]]></link><description>It could be that he had been told that his work was no longer required because it could now be carried out by AI.

Wilcock did not commit murder punishable by death penalty but manslaughter that involves a lack of intent or malice. Murder requires factors such as deliberation, retaliation, planned attack, etc., with intent to kill. He was charged with reckless driving and possibly under influence of drugs that should not reach the level of murder.  But in Thailand he will face a bench trial by a Thai judge or panel of judges without conviction by an unanimous jury.  In Thailand manslaughter is not punishable by the death penalty. Under Sec. 290 of the Thai Penal Code manslaughter is defined as causing death without the intent to kill - punishable by imprisonment for a term of three to fifteen years.  With 11 charges I think he is facing 20+ years. But in Thailand it appears that sentencing can sometimes be mitigated by cash, ie., paid to the victim's estate.</description><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 01:38:03 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Epstein Victim Describes Visits to Andrew&#x2019;s Royal Residences</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396361-epstein-victim-describes-visits-to-andrews-royal-residences/?do=findComment&comment=20544016]]></link><description>Another willing participant trying to rewrite history for a payout.</description><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 01:37:59 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Question about stupid tax</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396292-question-about-stupid-tax/?do=findComment&comment=20544015]]></link><description>&#x2753;</description><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 01:37:55 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>U.S. Launches Largest-Ever Citizenship Revocation Drive</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396365-us-launches-largest-ever-citizenship-revocation-drive/?do=findComment&comment=20544014]]></link><description>Not ungeasonable immigrants who commit serious crimes deserve to be stripped of citizenship and deported.

A bottle of Gin , Tequila or Vodka every day will have the same effect. It is excessive consumption leading to alcohol addiction that is the killer.
