Kremlin Spy Chief Warns of ‘Preemptive’ Moves Against NATO Amid Rising Tensions
Technically he won't be taking on NATO, just Europe. SHAPE is always headed by a US flag officer. But he reports to his President, not to any European leader. At best, there will be hesitation, while the SHAPE commander awaits a response from Washington. Worst case wargame scenario is that Russia can take the Baltic states in 36 hours (Rand Corp estimate). And then Russia controls the Baltic States. What then? How do you make the Russians leave? Fight them, and probably destroy those countries in the process. Sanctions? Open a new front? The casus belli for Russia would be to secure a corridor to Kalingrad, maybe in the middle of winter. They then lay effective siege to the Baltics. Support from Finland across the the Gulf of Finland will be difficult. Logistically, it would be difficult for NATO to get supplies to Helsinki except by air; the roads are not great in winter. They wuld be having to contest the Baltic for freedom of navigation. Russia might demand removal of NATO forces in return of safe passage. The position of the Baltic states has always been tenuous. A bellicose Poland might respond, trying to take back Polish territory (and no doubt the internet will be full of experts pointing out these areas were never really Polish, and Poland isn;t a real country anyhow), but the Americans have all just pulled out of Poland. Who has their backs? -

Phang Nga Boosts Safety Measures After Tourists Injured in Road Crash
Photo via Facebook/ แอ้ม - เลิศศักดิ์ ปนกลิ่น In a determined effort to restore tourist confidence, officials in Phang Nga are swiftly implementing safety measures following a devastating road accident that critically injured two German tourists and hospitalised their toddler. The crash, which took place on the late afternoon of April 15th in the Khao Lak area, involved a speeding pickup truck colliding with the family on a zebra crossing near Phetkasem Road. The victims, 34-year-old Phillip David Lothar and 32-year-old Linda Raub, were crossing the road with their 23-month-old son, Fiete, when the vehicle struck them. The accident left the couple with serious injuries, necessitating their immediate transfer to intensive care at Bangkok Hospital Phuket. Remarkably, their son escaped with only minor injuries. The driver involved, a 60-year-old man known as Choei, remained on site after the collision and was promptly arrested on charges of reckless driving causing injury. This shocking incident served as a wake-up call for local authorities, triggering an emergency meeting chaired by Phang Nga Governor, Pairot Petchyuan. At the meeting, there was a concerted call for urgent and visible action to mitigate the damage to Phang Nga’s tourism image. Attendees included key representatives from the police, disaster response units, transport office, and local government, all focusing on a rapid and effective response strategy. Key safety measures introduced include repainting zebra crossings in high-risk zones with vibrant red-and-white colours to increase visibility. Furthermore, speed bumps and clearer speed limit signage are being installed, alongside the repair of faulty traffic lights in pedestrian-heavy areas. There is strict enforcement targeting speeding vehicles, particularly among locals, taxi drivers, and public transport operators. In a show of support, the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office has been tasked with visiting the affected tourists, offering aid and delivering a gift basket to the hospital, although the family was too unwell to receive visitors. Khao Lak police have intensified speed checks on Phetkasem Road, quickly catching seven speeding motorists in a single afternoon operation. Additionally, the province’s tourism office has mobilised TAC Centre medics to improve emergency response times and is deploying volunteers at key tourist crossings to enhance pedestrian protection. Determined to demonstrate a firm stance on tourist safety, Governor Pairot pledged decisive legal action, stating, “We will pursue legal action decisively to demonstrate our commitment to tourist safety.” As Thailand’s tourism reputation faces scrutiny, Phang Nga officials are keen to prove their dedication to ensuring that such tragedies are not repeated, aiming to safeguard visitors and rejuvenate trust in the region’s safety, reported The Thaiger. -- 2025-04-18 -

That’s why the religious zealot was ridiculed by all but low IQ, far right bigots and drummed out of the Tory party so he had to take political refuge in Northern Ireland in the party of erm….far right religious zealots. Nice attempt at laundering right wing hatred Bob but no cigar. -
