Why China will prevail over the US in this crazy world of Trump 2.0
The thing is China can't win. Will the USA collapse and China is the power? Maybe. But the world doesn't have the resources for them to ever become the same level. At some point everything will be polluted and strip mined if that's called winning. Then again they sort of like it that way so maybe they win and rule the new post apocalyptic mad max world. -

Top Thai Officers Probed Over Links to Scams in Myanmar
File-General view Myawaddy district in eastern Myanmar, April 12, 2024. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit, File) The Royal Thai Police (RTP) is conducting an investigation into alleged connections between senior police officers and criminal activities linked to scam operations across the Burmese border. This action follows the transfer of five senior officers from the Tak province, a move that has raised eyebrows due to the significant wealth of one of the officers. At the heart of the investigation is Pol Maj Gen Ekkarat Intasueb, acting chief of Inspection Division 6 for the Office of the Inspector General. His duties encompass seven provinces, including Tak, which is directly opposite Myawaddy—a known hub for scam syndicates. As inquiries progress, he has been relocated to Bangkok by order of the national police chief, Pol Gen Kittharath Punpetch. Reports have surfaced highlighting Pol Maj Gen Ekkarat’s affluence, including ownership of an opulent mansion covering five rai featuring luxurious amenities such as a waterfall and a golf driving range. Despite this, he reportedly favours residing in police housing provided for the Mae Sot chief. Pol Maj Gen Charoonkiat Pankaew, now leading the investigation panel, stated that the process would be driven by evidence, promising a just and fair investigation for all involved. Alongside Ekkarat, Pol Maj Gen Samrit Emkamol, the Tak Provincial Police commander, has also been transferred to Bangkok. Additionally, superintendents from Mae Sot, Mae Ramat, and Phob Phra district police stations have been moved to the provincial office. These changes are part of an effort to scrutinise any police role in the alleged disappearance of Chinese tourists. These individuals were reportedly deceived by call centre operators and lured into crossing the border into Myanmar for employment opportunities. Defence Minister Phumtham Wechayachai emphasised that although the transfers raise questions, they do not imply direct involvement in criminal activities. He stressed the urgency of the investigation to understand the high incidence of cross-border crime within their jurisdiction. The government's crackdown against scam operations has intensified, partly due to international scrutiny following the high-profile rescue of a Chinese actor trafficked to Myawaddy. In tactical moves to disrupt these illegal networks, Thai authorities have cut electricity and internet services to five border areas suspected of harbouring scam syndicates. Additionally, 261 foreign nationals were repatriated from Myawaddy to Thailand as the service cuts began impacting the operational capacity of these scam networks. With the investigative committee in place, all eyes remain on the outcomes of these probes. How these developments unfold could significantly impact ongoing efforts to dismantle transnational crime rings operating in the region, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-02-13 -

Rising Anti-Israel Sentiments in Pai Following Tourists Misconduct
@tony2times You keep repeating the same post, but it is equally irrelevant each time in attempting to prove Palestine was the name of a country, nation or kingdom. Herodotus used Palestine as a geographical designation for a part of Syria. His words: "From there they marched against Egypt: and when they were in the part of Syria called Palestine, Psammetichus king of Egypt met them and persuaded them with gifts and prayers to come no further." https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0126:book=1:chapter=105&highlight=palestine -

Russia using donkeys to move ammo 555
Extremely effective pack animals. I guess if Russia was losing the war then it could be seen as a desperate measure but the fact is they aren't. I must say though a Ukrainian drone chasing down a Russian donkey would make very interesting footage. Trucks IMO make far easier targets for drone attacks. -
