Thaksin Shinawatra Told To Stop Overpowering Srettha Thavisin
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Spot on ... what the public has been saying about a Thai military-backed government since 2014. I'm sure Thavisin appreciates being told he's so weak that pollster NIDA has to come to his rescue. Paradoxically, NIDA's political popularity survey for the first quarter of 2024 showed Pita at 42.75%, Thavisin at 17.75%, and Shinawatra at 6%? Thavisin was not only surpassed by Pita but also "no suitable candidate" at 20%! https://nidapoll.nida.ac.th/data/survey/uploads/FILE-1711167362838.pdf -
Thai defence minister demands US offset details for F-16 jets
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Whatever the offset I expect the US will want payment in US Dollars, not in baht or another BRIC currency. That would poke PM Thavisin in his dedollarization policy. No Dollars no sale. -
Within 30 days of Harris POTUS announcement Trump lost most of his national lead and now Harris (unlike Biden) has potential pathways to win the electoral college. Note that the voting electorate has changed substantially since 2016 with increase in voting minorities, younger than 50, growth of progressive suburnites and more engagement of women (especially since Biden dropping out of the POTUS campaign. Very detailed analysis in "The demographic makeup of the country's voters continues to shift. That creates headwinds for Republicans," May 16, 2023, https://edition.cnn.com Yet Trump appears to still be running a 2016 campaign.

Tang Rat app crashes amid rush for 10,000 baht digital wallet
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
'In 2024 hackers claimed they had accessed personal details of 55 million people from Thailand. This data includes full names, birthdates, ID card numbers, and phone numbers. Recently, the Rural Doctors Society suggested that this information might have originated from a leak at the Public Health Ministry’s Immunization Centre.' https://www.resecurity.com/blog/article/cybercriminals-leaked-massive-volumes-of-stolen-pii-data-from-thailand-in-dark-web What are the odds we'll see a repeat with Tang Rat data base? -

Thailand’s steel sales drop 8.7% amid cheap Chinese imports
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
It's called "compensation," and it's the basis of Thailand's colonial relation with China. Frankly a 8.7% year-on-year Chinese steel increase seems inadequate for China. Expect continued Chinese export to reach at least 15%. -

Thailand anticipates record 2.2 million Russian tourists in 2024
Srikcir replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
With the pressure of such high volume international transport of Russian commercial aircraft, there is a growing danger of aircraft inflight failure and possible deaths due to sanctions blocking the repair and maintenance of Western aircraft operated by Russia. Russian Airline safety incidents more than doubled year on year as sanctions limited spare parts. “EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) is seriously concerned about the safety situation of aviation in Russia, including safety critical related matters such as how aircraft are maintained or how the pilots and the maintenance staff are trained,” Feb. 2024, "Russia’s planes fall apart as West blocks repairs," https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/02/12/russias-planes-fall-apart-western-sanctions-airline-repairs/ With Russian airlines cannibalizing commercial aircraft to keep the fleets running, I don't see how many more Russians (whether as tourists, escaping collapsing economy or avoiding military conscription) can fly out of Russia with less aircraft. -
Fake Prosecutor Arrested While Lecturing Students in Full Uniform

Just another fake like former PM Prayut who claimed NOT to be the PM officially appointed from 2020-2023. I understand how Mr. Mongkol might think he can be a prosecutor just by declaration. -

Thai Language Seen as Vital National Symbol, Survey Shows
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Thailand has the legacy of a developing nation in a world of about 194 countries, of which in 2023 an estimated 1.46 billion people speak English around the World or about 18% of the global population, almost 1 in 5 people. More people speak English than any other language. (wordsrated.com) Why does English extend beyond the borders of native English speaking nations? Former PM Prayut knew - “The most common language is English for sure. If Thai was a world language, we would have been a powerful country,” ... “Is there a chance Thai will become a world language? Yes, if you do what I say! In the future, Thai may become a world language." ... as the entire room burst into laughter." Jan. 2017 (https://coconuts.co/bangkok/) "Most people learn English as a second language so they can communicate with people from other countries." (medium.com) "Commerce, science and technology, diplomacy, art, and formal education all contributed to English becoming the first truly global language." (wikipedia) Apparently Thais did not advance on the world stage as Prayut envisioned. Could of, would of, might of but nationalism seems to stand in the way. -
Once a criminal, always a criminal. Under the Constitution, the President of the United States determines U.S. foreign policy. The Secretary of State, appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, is the President's chief foreign affairs adviser. Since 2021 Biden has been POTUS. Netanyahu was recently in the US as Israeli Head of State. If he wants to thank Trump for his POTUS policies towards Israel when in office, that's personal. But Trump seems to feel his can act still as Head of State while a CITIZEN and make foreign policy promises to Netanhayu. And Netanyahu in turn disrespects the US and the American people by engaging Trump by such political actions. Quid pro quo: I'd like to see Israeli centrist party leader Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz be invited to speak before Congress and the White House. I imagine the MAGA House Speaker will refuse. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-gantz-moves-dissolve-parliament-statement-2024-05-30/

Bhumjaithai Party allies dominate new Thai Senate
Srikcir replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
That with its pact with the PTP was able to participate in the formation of a majority government by alignment with the military coalitions without being the LARGEST political faction in Thailand. In fact MFP became Thailand's largest political party at the May 2023 polls, winning 151 parliamentary seats. And how many senators in the Senate are now aligned with MFP? Can one guess NONE? Maybe "Observers" should also note that the sovereignty of the nation continues to not to be held by the Thai People. -

Yes, attagonists for massive wars or threats thereof do not support climate change. Think of what Russia and North Korea could do to divert their murder against humanity to protecting the future of Earth for humanity.
