Driver killed on the road Varna - Balchik road online | News about Dobrich Dobrich line

Driver killed on the road Varna - Dobrich Balchik online | News about Dobrich Dobrich line:

Horrific accident this morning. Road closed at least to trucks as investigations continue, but poor standards of driving are normally to blame. Over the years I have seen many road deaths like this.Better, tougher driving tests and massive fines for not wearing seat belts would be a fine idea.Simply not overtaking on bends seems obvious, but drivers do !.

Here is one piece of stupidity:

Donald Trump..Some Facts

Here is a facebook comment from Robert Reich (who was Bill Clinton's Labour Secretary and a leading economist).I do not normally publish stuff on American politics, but the implications for the Balkans could be enormous.

Connect the following 7 dots. Do you see a pattern?
1. Trump's debt load has grown dramatically over the last year, from $350 million to $630 million. At the same time, he’s been blackballed by all major US banks.
2. Post-bankruptcy, Trump has become highly reliant on money from Russia -- most of which has over the years become increasingly concentrated among oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin.
3. Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager and top advisor, spent most of the last decade as top campaign and communications advisor to Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russian Ukrainian Prime Minister and then President whose ouster in 2014 led to the on-going crisis and proxy war in Ukraine. Yanukovych was and remains a close ally of Putin.
4. Trump's foreign policy advisor on Russia and Europe is Carter Page, a man whose entire professional career has revolved around investments in Russia and who has deep and continuing financial and employment ties to Gazprom, which, in turn, is part of Putin’s financial empire.
5. Over the course of the last year, Putin has aligned all Russian state controlled media behind Trump.
6. The Trump Camp was totally indifferent to the Republican Party platform, with one exception: They changed the party platform to eliminate assistance to Ukraine against Russian military operations in eastern Ukraine. Not incidentally, this is the single most important issue to Putin.
7. Trump is also suggesting the US and thus NATO might not come to the defense of NATO member states in the Baltics in the case of a Russian invasion -- another important issue to Putin.
I’m no conspiracy theorist, but these are the facts. (See sources in Josh Marshall's article below.)
