Somebody has to tell them they don´t have their head properly screwed to their necks. People will recognise that in general, I'm not a fan of the USA and most things that have flowed from it. However, in this case I think it's a reasonable question to ask whether the thai government could get any worse by listening to the USA. Personally I think not, the Thai 'government' is a hotch-potch of corruption and right-wing policies. In both of these important respects, they are merely following instructions and his Too-ness is working towards what he thinks will be a promotion. In my opinion.

The 2,000 generals of this country which are billionairs with dirty money will find themselves on the straw in less time than it took me to write these few lines.... And Thailand as a country would benefit enormously if they did. But they won't. The USA won't endanger their foothold on the borders of China without several very good reasons. Anyway, increasingly they're discovering they're personae non grata so they won't willingly relinquish their foothold here, no matter what information they have, they will always look after their own interests first, the people of Thailand don't even figure at all. Even Iraq and Duterte are fed up to the back teeth with them. so they won't let Thailand go without a fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Canuck1966 Posted February 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Explosive allegations from Pannika Chor Wanich from Future Forward. She can't join the censure debate because the Constitutional Court dissolved the party and banned her and other executive members for 10 years. So she is sharing the information now. She says the Thai junta conspired with the government of corrupt Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak to try to cover up the 1MDB scandal. The scandal eventually helped bring down Najib's government.

Redline Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 8 hours ago, rooster59 said: Ex-NIA deputy chief accuses US embassy of interference in Thailand’s internal affairs Thailand’s former National Intelligence Agency deputy director Nanthiwat Samart has accused the US embassy in Bangkok of interfering in Thailand’s domestic affairs over the Constitutional Court’s decision on Friday to dissolve the Future Forward party and to ban its executive committee from politics for ten years. In an online open letter, addressed to the US embassy, Mr. Nanthiwat said that each country has its own history, culture and tradition which does are not necessarily the same as each other’s. “Friendly countries can express their fondness, concern and good wishes toward one another, but must respect each other’s differences and laws, which vary from country to country. The US judicial system is completely different from that in Thailand. America must not interfere and refrain from criticizing the law and judicial process of Thailand,” said the ex-NIA deputy chief.

May be wrong but I believe it's foolhardy to have any residual faith in the USA. Watch this year closely and you'll see the snail pull back into it's shell, and China's star will continue to be in the ascendent, but this time unopposed. The days of anyone taking the USA seriously are likely gone forever now, even Thailand laughs now. Imagine that... Thailand.

I think that China's economic power is vastly overrated. In any case, Thailand is following China's footstep to the letter. I am sure that is a bad thing. And I will leave it at that.

If the non-democratic government would stop improperly portraying itself as a democracy, they would not be subject to the same sort of criticism. The recent act of dissolution would seem to clearly indicate that they are still predominantly an army-style government.

I'd have thought a spontaneous protest would have shown genuine feelings. Sure, there might well be protests organised, but I feel the government will do their best to ignore it. 'Get ugly fast' - it's now been a couple of days already. We'll see. I hope something does happen, but I'm not holding out much hope. There have been plenty of foreign governments giving their opinion on dissolving the FFP. Unless there are economic sanctions involved, no one in the Thai puppet government will give a sh!t. Too true - this Government does not care about people's lives; notions of democracy; justice; fair play. The bottom line is always the baht. Action will only take place when this is adversely affected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaanbiker Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) The US embassy in Bangkok has expressed concern that the Constitutional Court’s decision on Friday, to dissolve the Future Forward party, risks disenfranchising more than six million Thai voters who voted for the party in the March 24th 2019 general election. I really get an erection of dissatisfaction when I read the lies. There are way more people who are opposed to these...aeehh.. people who call themselves politicians. Let the Thai people choose what they want, not some Army guys who might have bought their rank. Does that make sense to have an Admiral as a leading guy in the educational sector in a system that gets worse by each month? Perhaps building a wall around their houses would be helpful.
