MAGA Man's Concepts of a Deal and the Art of Bankruptcy

Stop spending every minute of the day thinking about what the next ridiculous post you can come up with to annoy everyone. Get a life. Go do something instead of making up stories all the time. -

Trump’s Gulf Tour: Golden Camels, Cybertrucks, and Trillion-Dollar Courtships
It was also significant in who was cut out of the picture: Sanctions lifted on Syria and former al-Qaeda member Ahmed al-Sharaa, warmly praised while Israel’s security concerns not even getting a mention. A deal with the Houthi’s not to attack U.S. shipping, while attacks in Israel not even mentioned. Saudi Arabia praised as by Trump with the U.S. has ‘no stronger partner’, wasn’t that until recently Israel? Massive arms deal with Saudi Arabia while omitting any demands to normalize relations with Israel. And perhaps most telling of all, a tour of the Middle East without visiting Israel but doing big deals with Hamas backing Qatar. All on the back of Trump’s personal envoy stating: “We want to bring the hostages home, but Israel is not willing to end the war. Israel is prolonging it.” And Trump stating that people in Gaza are ‘starving’. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/16/donald-trump-middle-east-tour-should-terrify-benjamin-netanyahu-usa-israel -

Crime Thai Prosecutor and Daughter Arrested in Japan for Assaulting Airport Staff
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 66-year-old Thai man, reportedly a senior public prosecutor and his 30-year-old daughter were arrested by police at Narita International Airport in Chiba Prefecture on charges of assaulting an airline employee. According to Japanese media reports, the incident occurred on 12 May at approximately 14:45, local time at the departure counter of Terminal 1. The pair allegedly became involved in a dispute with a 28-year-old airline staff member over what they claimed was poor customer service. During the altercation, the father was accused of grabbing the employee by the arm. He later claimed to be a public prosecutor and admitted to the allegations during police questioning. His daughter, who is self-employed, denied any physical contact with the staff member. Both individuals had reportedly been on holiday in Japan and were preparing to return to Thailand when the incident occurred. Further investigation by Japanese authorities confirmed the man’s identity as a senior prosecutor in Thailand, but no further details were made public. The Thai Public Prosecutors Commission has been notified of the matter and both individuals are still under investigation by Japanese law enforcement. The incident has drawn attention in both Japan and Thailand, particularly due to the father’s high-profile position in the Thai judicial system. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-05-17. -

Crime Thai Sailors Convicted in Nigeria Cocaine Trafficking, Vessel Fined ฿148M
Picture courtesy of The Guardian Nigeria In a dramatic court ruling yesterday, ten Thai sailors were convicted for trafficking 32.9 kilogrammes of cocaine into Nigeria. Justice Daniel Osiagor of the Federal High Court in Lagos handed down the verdict, also condemning their ship, MV Chayanee Naree, which was used in the operation, to a hefty fine of $4 million, equating to approximately 148 million Thai Baht. The sailors—Krilerk Tanakhan, Boonlert Hansoongnern, Jakkarin Booncharoen, Thammarong Put-tlek, Worrapat Paopinta, Marut Kantaprom, Werapat Somboonying, Urkit Amsri, Panudet Jaisuk, and Amrat Thawom—were apprehended in October 2021 at Apapa, Lagos. Their vessel had sailed from Brazil, raising suspicions and resulting in their arrest by Nigerian authorities under charges of conspiracy, unlawful transportation, and unlawful importation of cocaine. Arraigned alongside the seamen were nine Nigerians, who the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) accused of collaboration in the illegal operation. However, their trial has been postponed, with the court setting the next hearing date for June 25. Initially, the convicted sailors pleaded a no-case submission, asserting insufficient evidence from the prosecution. This stance was overturned by Justice Osiagor, who highlighted the strength of the NDLEA's evidence, eventually leading the sailors to strike a plea bargain. The ruling saw the vessel’s three captains, Krilerk Tanakhan, Boonlert Hansoongnern, and Jakkarin Booncharoen, slapped with personal fines of $50,000 each, equivalent to roughly 1.86 million Baht, while their subordinates were fined $30,000 each, or approximately 1.12 million Baht. The prosecution, represented by Mrs Theresa Asuquo, A. Adebayo, and Paul Awogbuyi, argued convincingly against a highly capable defence team made up of Babajide Koku, Femi Atoyebi, and Tunde Adejuyigbe SAN. In the wake of this judgment, the focus turns to the next legal proceedings on June 25 involving the Nigerian nationals linked to the crime. This pivotal conviction underscores the international dimension of drug trafficking and the severe penalties awaiting those found guilty. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Guardian Nigeria 2025-05-17
