Trump Urges Israel to Strike Iran’s Nuclear Facilities
Have any American president been charged for war crimes same as Putin have been done? I do mot believe any inside the axis of "good", ever will be charged. They are protected. Being with the Emperor comes with benefits as long it lasts. I'm more surprised so many do not understand why terrorist states being created, and why they are fighting against Israel, and also why Syria is an enemy as well. Cuba, Venezuela just to mention a few Just clarify I'm a pro democratic western, and not making excuses on behalf of Putin or any other terrorist state, but I do include Israel as one. -

Trump Erupts in Incoherent Rants After New Court Brief Details How He ‘Resorted to Crimes’
Here educate yourself 'Since the family’s failed escape attempt, Kim Jong Un had solidified his power, revealing a malicious Machiavellian streak few predicted. His uncle, one of the country’s most powerful men and regent to the young ruler, was executed in 2013. His aunt, believed to have been pivotal in charting his ascent, disappeared from public view. His estranged half-brother was assassinated with a nerve agent in a Malaysian airport in 2017. For Kim, defectors were traitors. The kingdom’s borders were fortified with more barbed wire, border guards and patrols. Punishments for escape became increasingly ruthless'.

Pickup Crashes into Ambulance, Severing Power Pole & Causing Large Blackout. Ayutthaya
The collision occurred late night on October 5 and left a pickup truck mangled, a power pole snapped in two, and areas of the city plunged into darkness. The incident occurred on Rojana Road, Ayutthaya, when a speeding pickup truck collided with an ambulance and then careened into a power pole, causing significant damage to local infrastructure. Police Lieutenant Dechathorn Khamming from Uthai Police Station reported that the accident took place around 22:30. A Ford four-door pickup, registered in Phitsanulok, rear-ended an ambulance, the driver lost control, and crashed into a power pole near kilometre marker 13 in Kanham Subdistrict, Uthai District, Ayutthaya. At the scene, officers found the power pole split in two, with a damaged transformer, leaving the surrounding area without electricity. The front of the pickup truck was utterly destroyed, with the engine ejected and lying on the sidewalk some distance away. Inside the vehicle, 45-year-old Mr. Athorn (surname withheld) was found seriously injured and trapped. Rescue workers rushed him to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Hospital for emergency treatment. The impact of the crash also left the ambulance, belonging to the Phutthaisawan Foundation, damaged. The right rear side was hit, and the back tyre burst. The driver, Mr. Wichai (surname withheld), a volunteer, was visibly shaken by the collision. Mr. Wichai explained that he had been driving in the right lane when he noticed the pickup truck rapidly approaching from behind. It slammed into the rear of his vehicle before veering off the road and crashing into the power pole. Wichai immediately tried to assist the injured driver but was forced to call for backup when smoke began rising from the wreckage. The collision caused a widespread power outage in the area. Uthai Provincial Electricity Authority teams worked to restore electricity, with initial assessments revealing significant damage to a high-voltage power pole and a transformer belonging to the Department of Highways. The blackout impacted street lighting, and repair costs are estimated to exceed 100,000 baht, though further evaluations are needed. Authorities are continuing their investigation, gathering detailed statements from the drivers and assessing the scene to determine the exact cause of the accident. Both vehicles are being examined for evidence, and legal proceedings will follow based on the findings. Picture from responders. -- 2024-10-05 -

Corruption scandal hits the brakes: Thailand’s bus industry whistleblows dirty dealings
Correct, this is why I noted I said " change the system " and we know that isnt going to happen in your or my lifetime. The real change sadly is drastic basically a coup must happen from a person or group that care more about the people of course that is for another subject. The leaders on down due to nepotism have people in charge and staff all around given jobs with zero credentials work contracted out also goes out to family. As you noted Inspectors in name only what is that you and I can do a better job! Everyone goes along with what was given to them how can you go against those who you are do grateful. Example police have not a clue as to all the violations around them as they sit waiting for the lightbto turn Green. What moved this country is money exchanged to make people move and turn a blind eye. -

V P Debate
There is no way to "fix" them (hermaphrodites). There is only understanding and acceptance. Democrats, like me, don't "like" abortions, but we (most of us) do believe the choice to have an abortion should be the right of the woman in association with her doctor, not the government. Yes, I also believe heterosexuality is normal, but even in the animal world, there are hermaphrodites and animals who do not as we expect their gender to act. Yes, "normal" does mean the majority, but the heterosexual/homosexual statistics in the US, and probably the world, is not just an either/or. It's a very steep bell curve, like the red one below: Transsexuality and homosexuality are not a mental illness. It can be attributed to physical and hormonal features and also social issues. It's only classified as a mental illness by those who, like you, think there are only two genders, and everyone must totally belong to one or the other. -

Thailand's Cashless Leap: Ahead of the Asean Pack by 2028
And your bitcoin alternative offers no guarantees, no oversight, and no consumer protection. There is a reason why it is favoured by criminal organizations. One is also at the mercy of the financial institutions if one relies on cash. The banks are holding our money and they are the entities which supply the ATMS. Fortunately, your opinion is only popular with a minority of the age 65+ demographic, and Father Time will ensure that the opinion will be addressed appropriately. 😁 I once resisted using a debit card and then credit cards, but then I realized how much easier it was to maintain electronic records and to manage transactions electronically. The only place where I still have to make cash transactions for small transactions is in Thailand. Fortunately, I can do online invoice payments, and pay with debit or credit cards at Lotus, Tops, Villa, upper end and international restaurants restaurants and at international retailers. Even my hired cars to the airport rely on credit card payment. I don't want to walk round with 10-30,000 baht. Ok, so the bank takes a percentage on the credit card transaction, They are being paid for the services rendered to the merchant. The credit and debt cards reduce the exposure to holdup and to cash shortfalls. They reduce the need for manual book keeping and trips to make deposits at the bank. When I go to the ATM I have to pay 200 baht each time. My use of a CC has the cost baked into the retail cost of goods, whether I use the card or not. -
