Assad Flees to Moscow Amid Middle East Upheaval
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has reportedly fled to Moscow alongside his family, seeking asylum in Russia. Russian state media, citing Kremlin sources, announced the deposed leader's arrival, though the BBC has been unable to independently confirm the claim. Assad’s departure marks a critical shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics, further destabilizing an already volatile region. The collapse of Assad's regime is the latest upheaval in the Middle East, following a series of transformative events that began with the Hamas attacks on Israel in October last year. Strategically located, Syria’s fate holds significant implications for the region's power dynamics. US President Joe Biden addressed the situation, calling Assad’s downfall a "moment of historic opportunity." He asserted that neither Russia, Iran, nor Hezbollah could prevent the regime's fall, signaling a new phase in US engagement with Syrian groups. Biden emphasized the importance of preventing the Islamic State group (IS) from exploiting the power vacuum left by Assad’s departure. In response to growing concerns about IS’s resurgence, the United States has escalated military actions in Syria. Earlier, President Biden revealed that the US had conducted about a dozen precision airstrikes against IS targets. Later updates from US Central Command (Centcom) disclosed that more than 75 airstrikes were carried out on Sunday, aimed at dismantling IS camps in central Syria. Centcom reported no civilian casualties and underscored its commitment to ensuring IS does not regain strength. General Michael Erik Kurilla, Centcom’s commander, stated, "There should be no doubt - we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria." He added, "All organisations in Syria should know that we will hold them accountable if they partner with or support ISIS in any way." Amid this turmoil, the Russian military maintains a substantial presence in Syria, with approximately 7,500 personnel stationed at key bases in Tartus and Latakia. However, the rapid advances of Syrian rebel forces have reportedly left several Russian soldiers, including elite special forces, stranded. While some units managed to retreat closer to Russian bases, others were cut off from the main group. These developments have been corroborated by two retired Russian officers who remain in contact with soldiers on the ground. The Assad family’s asylum in Moscow, if confirmed, signals a significant shift in Russian involvement in Syria. The Middle East faces yet another seismic change, with international powers vying to shape the region's future amidst the ongoing geopolitical tremors. Based on a report by BBC 2024-12-09 -

Is there anything good about getting old?
"Do not regret getting old, it's a privilege denied to many " Credited to Mark Twain, but a sobering thing to do, is to go look at the War cemetery in Kanchanaburi, I have been a few times. Nearly 7,000 poor souls there, and when you look at the young ages of them, it's very upsetting. You come away loving life and being very grateful to be here. I am 62 and had a few health issues, and survived cancer through radical surgery, and I feel, what we have now is better than the other option. -

I was absolutely mortified at what I witnessed yesterday.
If you are so in love with oppressive western fear based culture, why are you not living in a western country? This discussion isn't just about wearing helmets, it's about the entire soul of the nation. I don't want Thailand to become absorbed by the dark side, that is the west. -

Man Jumps to His Death from Bhumibol 1 Bridge in Front of Security Guard
Picture from responders. On the evening of December 7, a man took his own life by jumping from the Bhumibol 1 Bridge, Samut Prakan, in front of a security guard who was unable to intervene in time. At approximately 17:00, Police Lieutenant Colonel Theerasak Chaimanee, Deputy Inspector (Investigation) of Phra Pradaeng Police Station, received a report of the incident. According to the security guard stationed on the bridge, the man, wearing a blue sports jersey and long jeans, arrived alone on a white-and-red Honda CPX motorcycle (license plate from Bangkok). He parked in the middle of the bridge, facing Rama III Road, and made a phone call. Moments later, he climbed over the railing and leapt off the bridge. The security guard, identified as 43-year-old Mr. Rungsan Jannil, stated that he attempted to reach the man and shouted to stop him but was too far away to intervene. Traffic noise on the bridge also likely drowned out his calls. Police officers and rescue volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation rushed to the scene. The motorcycle was found parked on the bridge with no sign of the rider. Looking down from the bridge, authorities located the man's body in the Lad Pho Public Health Park below, on the Phra Pradaeng side. The deceased was identified as Mr. Supasit Samnukwanphairot, 26, residing at Soi Pracha Uthit 33, Bangmod Subdistrict, Thung Khru District, Bangkok. Near the body were a mobile phone and broken glasses. Initial examination revealed severe injuries, including head trauma, a large open wound on his left heel and fractures in his left arm and leg. The security guard reported smelling alcohol at the scene. He mentioned that a similar incident occurred the previous week, but he was able to calm the individual down before any harm was done. Police photographed the scene and transferred the body to the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Police General Hospital for an autopsy. Investigators are now looking into the motive behind the man's actions and have contacted his family to inform them. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek help. -- 2024-12-09
