There was certainly a burgeoning democracy under Thaksin - that’s why there was coup after coup. Thaksin was democratically elected and when he started to exert the power that democracy bestowed upon him over the military establishment they snuffed out democracy. Now, democracy is back, the military is in retreat and Thaksin is jetting home. Alls well that ends well eh? I am very happy and hopeful about the new faces in politics here. So you agree Thailand had a democratic elected government when Thaksin was in power. So he was ultimately responsible for the Tak Bai incident and so he is to be tried for that. And what about his war on drugs?Squeaky clean there?So that is two crimes,you need any more?

Where ever did you come up with the wisdom that i am a Junta lover? Are you saying there was no democracy under Thaksin? That is a very important question,please answer?

Is it a crime in your opinion?Lets not hide behind articles. I any civilized country this would never have happened and if it did the person in charge of the government would be responsible.

I do not object to a fare trial for any one.It does not really matter how clean or dirty any one else is,that is not the topic. I can come up with more then three but let us start with this one. At least 80 Muslim people in the South died when Thaksin was in power. That is a crime i think?

if you mean you are not aware of any crimes he did i suggest you spend the weekend reading up on it.

A pond is very important if you can but on one rai it can not be very big. Buy two rai with a one rai pond,you can grow enough fish in there to always have protein enough.

I think not,putins army already is pretty occupied. Sending soldiers to Belarus means he will have to take them from the frontline else where,just what the Ukrainians need.The fact that putin is not sending soldiers to Belgorod is already telling. Imo this is the ideal time for any country to get from under the influence of putin.

Do you think putin still has the capability to do that? The people from Belarus must realize this is a perfect opportunity to break away from russia,some other countries may think the same? Maybe it is just wishful thinking on my part but seeing what is going on now i don't think putin has a lot of soldiers to spare for other things. They can not even defend their own borders now,look at Belgorod.

What if Lukashenko dies? Will the people of Belarus go on to the street and demand democrazy or are they going to roll over and choose for russia? Very interesting and it could affect the war for sure. What about the taliban attacking Iran? Will that mean less support from Iran(drones) for russia? Soon the big offense is coming,everything seems in place and more western equipment is pouring in. I bet putin is not feeling so well now.

Good idea and while they are at it they should also put stupid idiots in jail. One stupid post,life,two stupid posts 2 life sentences and so on.

nah,he is delusional but he probably needs a hug,or a good joint so he can lighten up.

It has begun,i wonder what will happen now that the wagner group is leaving bachmut. And more attacks on Crimea.

How many russians went back home on that plane?

Rape is violence!

You used the word i also used first but decided to change it. I am hoping this government will be a bit different but i am thinking you are right.

At this point it is all politics,parties will promise to do anything for their turn at the wheel. Common sense is not abundant anywhere any more.

More good news,or bad depending on who you are.The last sentence is saying a lot i think. Just a thought ,will the new Thai government be outspoken against Russia? What will that mean for the russian draft dodgers here?Send them back?Interesting times.

Thank you for all of your great songs and memories, Rest in peace Tina.
