Get rid of this one, and another will eventually follow. May take a couple of years, but history will repeat itself. So the problem is the level above the military?That makes the problem a little more complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhFarangJa Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 11 hours ago, Inn Between said: This list could be a thousand items long and it wouldn't make any difference. I suspect Thailand will have to live with the pseudo-elected leadership of its military gov't until Prayut Chan-O-Cha wants to step down and hand his power off to a hand-chosen faithful crony. The "constitution" should be a complete farce by then. it is a complete farce already..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denis911 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Now you all know what the purchase of the "120 Stryker Armoured Personnel Carriers" from America were for, ready for this unrest, I can't see why they would need them for any other reason. The PM has said he needs the A.P.C's and the "8 new US AH-61 Strike Helicopters" in case of insurgents from their neighbours, who the hell would want Thailand, nobody has for 800 years. "Thailand to acquire a total of 120 US armoured vehicles" headlines from 28th August 2019. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaleySabai Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Future Forward Party, which lists oligarchy-busting in its manifesto, has announced it will sponsor a bill in parliament to promote more competition in local alcohol markets, a not-so-veiled challenge to ThaiBev and Boonrawd’s long-held duopoly. Now that shows Balls!....FFP are in essence attempting to wrangle-in the whole Golden-Kaboodle. Considering the Pitch They have on the playing field,does make for insurmountable odds. Would it not be interesting if Thailand awoke one smoky morning to a tantum of blackness so complete that it would eclipse in magnitude of all previous forms of "Black-Friday".....an epic economic meltdown that would bankrupt the "Big-Five" of the Thai corporate whordom! Only then,would there be a pell-mell pitch and the playing field leveled. Until such an event comes to pass.....we all know what happens to 'Heros'.
