Really fun doing a fact check. Promoting unity - failed Sustainability - Submarines and increase in defence budget makes this an oxymoron democracy - laughable Tech proficiency - lip service Resilience against drug - not new Awareness of personal rights - got to be joking Thai law - translate as junta law Bureaucratic system - top heavy and not slow in implementation. Lack leadership. I gave give the agenda zero chance to succeed when you have a junta government and not a merit base system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegee Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 What does this mean? Sustainable = to ensure the elite's ongoing grip on the purse strings. Thai = Project Thai, a highly successful form of pre-internet mass brain-washing. Idealism = gobbledygook as "culture" and "security" in order to facilitate the sustainable and the Thai.

mtls2005 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Sloganeering 4.0. The Junta loves their committees, plans and snazzy catch-phrases. Who can forget Prayuth's 12 Thai Values, or the “6-4-6-4 road map to democracy,” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
