The Art of Saudi Dementia
Oh bravo, Donald John. Absolute masterstroke, mate. Nothing says ‘world peace’ quite like flogging $142 billion worth of top-shelf death machines to a bloke who treats dissent like it’s a piñata party. MBS must’ve thought Christmas came early when Trump showed up: jets, bombs, drones, the works. All gift-wrapped in American exceptionalism and dipped in KFC mashed potato gravy. And they still call it a “strategic partnership.” Yeah, strategic in the same way giving a toddler a flamethrower is “educational.” Let’s not forget who we’re dealing with here. Saudi Arabia. The country with a human rights record that makes North Korea look like a mindfulness retreat. These are the lads who drop airstrikes on school buses and weddings in Yemen like they’re playing Call of Duty on cocaine. And now we’ve decided they need more gear? Brilliant. What could possibly go wrong? So now he’s singlehandedly solved the Middle East with a few tanks and a dodgy handshake from MBS, that’s Mohammed bin “saw a journalist in half” Salman, for the uninitiated. Then they rolled out the lavender carpet for him. Not red, mind you. Lavender. Real subtle, innit. Looked like Liberace had spewed royalty all over the runway. And Trump’s there lapping it up like an oversized Pomeranian in a tiara. Then he waddles into Riyadh like he’s Gandalf the Peacebringer, arms outstretched. Mate, they weren’t welcoming a statesman. They were measuring him up for a gold-plated yes-man trophy. All that pomp, all that fanfare, and for what? So Raytheon and Lockheed can cash in like it’s Black Friday in hell. This ain’t about strategy. This is about sales. Corporate Christmas. They’re not solving conflicts. They’re investing in them. Bombs now, reconstruction later. A full-service business model. Meanwhile, Donnie’s grinning like a lunatic, signing away weapons like he’s doing a two-for-one on nukes at Aldi. And what’s the endgame here? Strengthen our allies? Please. We’ve been down this road. Gave Saddam the tools. Next thing he’s gassing villages. Armed the Mujahideen. Next thing they’re flying planes into buildings. But no, this time it’ll be different. This time we’re arming responsibly. Like giving a chainsaw to a fox and saying, “Now don’t go mad with it.” You’d think someone might raise an eyebrow. But nah. Trump's base is too busy wetting themselves over “America First” while their tax dollars are funding the arms race version of a garage sale in the Middle East. No schools, no healthcare, but don’t worry lads, Saudi’s got guided missiles coming out their ears. Honestly mate, if irony were a weapon, Trump’d have already started World War Three. -

Tourism Chinese Business Delegation Backs Pattaya’s Safety, Plans to Fly in 1,000 Staff in June
I think I should stop reading Thai news because its so juvenile and blatantly corrupt but I guess thats south east Asia and of course "big daddy china" who are like this tourism stunt so often at the centre of these scams! If its not a construction scam then its a call centre or a trafficking ring etc etc!! Very sad yet the Thais still embrace their northern neighbours, why, because they, to a lesser extent are benefiting. Look at the Burmese scam centres mostly on the border with China, why because the Chinese are the ring leaders & major beneficiaries. The Chinese government is no different and will rape and pillage the poorer countries mostly under the guise of development to the detriment of those countries and Chinas financial gain! -

Accident 73-Year-Old Woman Run Over & Killed by Van After Returning to Thailand to Visit Family
Judging from the photo, and statement 'van 50m beyond body', and signs for an intersection beyond that, then I'd be surprised if there was a crosswalk where she was crossing. No mention of a crosswalk, which is a bit telling. We'll never know, or outcome of investigation. People do tend to cross the street here without looking, as way too many getting run over in the news. Always a head scratcher for me.
