Crime British Teen Thought as Missing in Thailand Found Arrested in Georgia
No its the correct Georgia... Georgia, the former Soviet republic (not the U.S. state). While personal use and possession of small amounts of cannabis (up to 70 grams) are legal in Georgia due to a 2018 Constitutional Court ruling, cultivation, sale, distribution, and importation remain illegal. Bella May Culley is in prison because she was arrested at Tbilisi International Airport on suspicion of smuggling 14kg of cannabis, which included 34 sealed packages of marijuana and 20 packages of hashish. This quantity far exceeds the legal limit for personal use, and she faces charges for illegally purchasing, possessing, and importing a large amount of narcotics. Under Georgia’s strict drug laws, such offenses carry severe penalties, potentially 20 years to life imprisonment. She was denied bail and is detained in Tbilisi Prison No. 5 pending trial. -

Electric Vehicles in Thailand
After reading above articles and below article it does not look good for Neta. Note below where it says domestics sales (i.e., in China its main market) was only 487 vehicles in Jan and Feb 2025 combined....that's a sure sign Chinese customers fear Neta is going to go belly-up....no one wants to buy a car which may lose ongoing support...become an outcast. I wonder what the actual government "registration" numbers (i.e., sale completed with blue book and red tags issued) have been over the last few months in Thailand for Neta? Bookings/reservations mean little if potential customers get scared the company might not survive and the customers back-out before committing to actually buying. https://carnewschina.com/2025/04/14/neta-auto-faces-escalating-crisis-as-dealers-drotest-at-factory-gates/ Neta’s domestic sales have plummeted dramatically. Data shows the company sold only 487 vehicles in January and February 2025 combined, with no disclosed sales figures for March. These numbers fall well below those of other Chinese EV brands that have already declared bankruptcy or exited the market. Current sales show minimal demand for its model lineup, with the Neta X accounting for just 272 units and the NETA L for 149 units during this period. As its home market collapses, NETA is increasingly pivoting to international markets, particularly Thailand. The company recently announced it received 1,219 orders during the Thailand Motor Show and has set an ambitious target of selling over 10,000 vehicles in Thailand in 2025, aiming to become the second-largest new energy vehicle brand in the country. -

Myanmar Junta Leans on Air Power Amid Mounting Ground Defeats
CINCDS YANGON, 15 May 2025 — As battlefield losses mount, Myanmar’s military junta is increasingly turning to its air force to maintain control, launching strikes that have devastated civilian areas and underpinned a campaign of fear from the skies. Following the 2021 coup, the military initially held back from using air strikes, believing ground troops could swiftly quash resistance. But as ambushes and retreat became routine, junta chief Min Aung Hlaing gradually loosened control over the air force—transforming it into the regime’s most lethal and unrestrained tool. At first, air support was tightly restricted. Regional commanders had to submit requests through a convoluted chain of command, often stalling under Min Aung Hlaing’s personal delays—particularly during religious ceremonies. Even urgent appeals, like one from Vice Senior General Soe Win, were left hanging as bases fell in the interim. Eventually, decentralisation gave regional commanders authority to call in air strikes directly. Now, battlefield officers can request immediate aerial support, while major bombing campaigns require approval from the elite Joint Operations Command (JOC), led by Soe Win and top military brass. The junta’s warplanes, including Yak-130s and Chinese-made JF-17s, now routinely pound towns in Rakhine, Kachin and northern Shan. In Sagaing, air raids resumed after resistance fighters took Indaw town. Even modified transport planes and paramotors are being used—dropping bombs by hand when purpose-built aircraft are in short supply. Despite international sanctions, Russia and China continue to supply arms and aircraft, helping the regime maintain its air capabilities. Bombs are domestically produced at Ka Pa Sa factories, with major air operations launched from bases across the country, including Naypyitaw and Meiktila. What began as a last resort has become the junta’s primary strategy: deny ground, inflict terror, and shift blame. As Myanmar’s skies grow deadlier, the human cost continues to rise—especially for civilians caught in the line of fire. -2025-05-15 -

Gary Lineker Under Fire Over Controversial ‘Nazi propaganda’ Post Featuring Rat Emoji
I've seen the video. There's no sign of any rat. So the rat has nothing to do with the video. The rat must have been added by the original poster and likely Gary didn't know the significance and didn't think anything of it when he reposted it.- 2
