Your bar stool BS is also impressive... ????
F-16 deterrence hahahah again against who? For what?
Now folks like.........
Libya Oil...Iraq Oil...Afghanistan Oil/Pipelines.....Thailand? Nada no oil & no strategic value...No value as allies nada
Most posts here answered bar girls & cheap beer but anyone can have that without a fight
What are you claiming China? Pffft they already have a good portion of Thailand in their pocket why fight over what is already theirs? So what country do you see invading Thailand & Thailand needing F35's submarines etc etc?
Truth is all these generals need are receipts to pad at the citizens of Thailands expense
Anyway.........back to your beer & chatting with your X-CIA MI6 buddies or whoever you are this week 555
