Traffic Foreign Cyclist's Reckless Manoeuvre Sparks Outrage in Phuket
Oh, Oh,Oh the netizens ...... complaining about foreigners all the time, while the netizens are very good in following all the traffic rules.. driving without helmets, speeding, driving against the flow even on highways, walking in the middle of the road, playing on their phones, driving through red lights..parking in a corner or in front of a traffic light... and many more, but as soon as foreigner is involved they are outraged.. But where are the special lanes for cyclists???there is no infrastructure in Thailand even the side walks are occupied with stalls ... And in fact this man on the video is doing nothing wrong as he want to turn right and Thai motorcyclists are doing the same most of the times without looking if there is traffic behind them -

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
It is possible to admire Ukraine’s courage and still recognize the cold, unpleasant arithmetic of war. Two years ago, talk of “standing firm” and “never conceding” resonated as moral clarity. Today, with Ukrainian forces stretched thin, supply lines increasingly fragile, and front-line attrition rates rising, the battlefield reality is far less heroic than the slogans suggest. We can debate history all day Czechoslovakia in 1938, Churchill in 1940 but the present has its own grim unique logic. The Russo-Ukrainian conflict has reached an impasse: Ukraine cannot dislodge Russian forces without a level of matériel, manpower, and sustained Western commitment that no longer appears forthcoming. The United States, distracted and divided, is no longer the anchor it was in 2022. Europe, for all its moral outrage, lacks both the resources and the collective political will to “see this through” in the maximalist sense. That is not “rewarding aggression”; it is acknowledging constraints. War aims must be achievable, not aspirational. Endless exhortations to “hold the line” mean little if that line cannot, in practice, be held without bleeding a generation dry. The ugly truth is that both Russia and Ukraine are absorbing staggering human and economic costs, while the West rhetorically committed, tactically cautious drifts toward the sidelines. To insist on total victory in this environment risks turning heroism into self-immolation. A negotiated settlement, even one that leaves territory in Russian hands for now, may not satisfy our moral instincts, but it can save tens of thousands of lives and preserve Ukraine’s core sovereignty for the day when conditions are more favorable. History books lionize leaders who refuse to yield; they also quietly note the ones who knew when to salvage what they could. A messy peace is not the same as surrender it is a pause, a chance to regroup, rebuild, and outlast an adversary who has just as many vulnerabilities as strengths.Romanticizing a forever-war is easy from a safe distance. Living through one is not. For Ukraine, the greater act of courage may be to accept a bitter compromise today in order to still be standing tomorrow. -
