Politics Thaksin Unveils Vision to Transform Thailand into ASEAN Powerhouse
Thaksin doesn't understand that he and his family is one of the reasons standing in the way for Thailand from actually achieving greatness. But he's too greedy, corrupt and arrogant to see the light. The other reasons are the dinosaur politicians, military and the HiSo elite that won't let go of the grip they have on the country. -

Middle East Gaza Grief: Children Pay Hefty Price in Ongoing Conflict
Many people probably drew the same conclusion as @Nick Carter icp What message would you draw from this headline on an official U.N. Web site? The first sentence of the press release says straight out that civilians account "for nearly 90 per cent of war-time casualties." https://press.un.org/en/2022/sc14904.doc.htm This is mainly a dispute over terminology. The source @Packer quoted stated in some conflicts in densely populated urban areas about 90% of the casualties are civilians. There's no reason to disbelieve that figure, but it applies to one specific type of armed conflict: in densely populated urban areas when explosive weapons are used. It doesn't mean ALL armed conflicts have a 90% casualty rate for civilians nor that 90% civilian casualties is the most commonly occurring rate. The disconnect is that some (many? most?) people are applying 90% too broadly as a general figure for modern armed conflict. The civilian casualty rate depends on the circumstances. Here's the kicker: the Gaza Strip is a densely populated urban area and explosive weapons (aerial bombing, missiles, etc.) were widely used by the IDF. It would seem fair to assume that 90% civilian casualties could be expected in the Gaza conflict. That's my conclusion, I'm not attributing it to anyone else. BTW, it was Ramesh Rajasingham, Director of Coordination of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, who used the 90% figure in his presentation to the U.N. Security Council @Packer Do you think he "didn't read the report, or didn't understand it?" -
