Drunk on lao khao with a complete lack of control. Thai males, lao khao and guns are not a good mix.

So, effectively a coup - the Army and the Courts taking over.

The courts are the army's courts (CC and EC) and are in place to protect the elites and their wealth and power. Apart from he who cannot be mentioned the army wields ultimate power here.

From the perspective of the global economy, there are few places as strategically important. The waterway, located between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, is only 21 miles wide at its narrowest point. It’s the only way to ship crude from the oil-rich Persian Gulf to the rest of the world. Iran controls its northern side.

 

One side Iran and the other Oman. In between is a formidable US naval deployment.

The law but in your peoples mind that is only to be used as propaganda. Party of law, my ass.

Wrong option. Go in and blow up it up before nukes can be made. Trump did this. Correct decision and has been supported by countries around the world. Only one's not supporting it are the isolationists in the Republican party and the everything Trump does is bad Democrats and the deranged loony left.

So you admit Trump had no legal justification under international law to bomb a sovereign nation.

 

Thanks.

International law vs taking out Iran's capability to produce nukes. Which should take precedent?

When did the US Congress vote to declare war on Iran?

Oh dear! Some people just can't accept fact. The US is not at war with Iran. If it comes to war with Iran then that needs to go through congress.

So..........Trump WANTED to blow 'em up.

Nothing legal about his actions under international law.

Just so we're clear on that bigly important point.

 

International law? You're defending the worst fanatical Islamist regime on earth. Only thing the US attacked was three nuclear enrichment facilities with precision strikes to deny the aforementioned fundamentalist Islamic regime from making nukes. This was not a declaration of war. This was a net benefit to the world. Stop crying about it.

“The Constitution does not permit the executive branch to unilaterally commit an act of war against a sovereign nation that hasn’t attacked the United States,”

The POTUS can deploy a military action in the instance that there is a threat to the US, US personnel and or interests, and in defence of allies without authorization from congress. I have pointed out this fact several times.

Lame attempt to excuse the developing world crisis leading up to ww3

No. It's demonstrating that similar actions have been taken by both Democrat and Republican presidents. Seems in your mind it's only bad when it comes from the republican side.

But, but Xi wanted to bomb Australia.

The rules say if Xi has more ships and planes he can do it.

He claimed he had to remove the threat, even though his intelligence services reported there was no threat.

He really, really.....bigly.........wanted to do it.

That makes it okay.

Stop making things up. How old are you. Why Trump went in is perfectly clear. Iran has/had uranium enriched to 60% hidden deep under a mountain and are/were making thousands of rockets. 60% is way more than what's needed for domestic nuclear energy production and can easily and quickly be further enriched to a weapons grade 90%. As I stated Trump has denied the worst fundamentalist Islamic regime on the planet from producing nukes. You're response to this is some ridiculous hypothetical scenario about China bombing Australia.

Thanks, I think I'm getting a handle on this "rules-based international order" thingie.

 

Guess it's okay under international law for China to bomb the Philippines or Australia if they get the urge......If supported by other countries.........Russia or North Korea or what's left of Iran.

 

International law is fun.

Ridiculous comment. Trump took action to take out the ability of the worst fundamentalist Islamic nation on earth from producing nukes. Your analogy of China bombing Australia is infantile.

Not complaining, just noticed ever since Thai Visa changed to AN, there is just more complaining and bickering in most posts, mostly from MAGA supporters, not all of course. Years ago, there was information about visas, some of them passed away(RIP), but now it is only about Trump or the USA Why? The world has billions of people a lot of posters are sceptical about Indians, Chinese, and Russians or making stupid remarks about other nationalities. Why is that ? I guess this post isn't going to last a long time, but this is only my opinion.

Interesting. How about the multiple daily new threads complaining about the "bad orange man". If those who have Trump living rent free in their heads 24/7 didn't continuously start threads or for some reason blame Trump for everything my guess is we would see a lot less bickering.

@EVENKEEL seemed to be saying Iran can't do dat, it's against international law.

 

You know, like bombing some country you're not at war with.

Like Obama did.

Because the online options in Thailand have ramped up the prices too much, have limited choices, and also don't currently stock my specific brand of refillable pods. 

Yep. Prices have gone up for sure. Such is the nature of the black market. There's probably as much vaping going on now as there was before the "support tobacco industry" vaping shut down.

I buy online from Singapore, delivered by Thai Post. It's difficult to contain my laughter when the motorcycle Postie hands me a VAT invoice for 37 baht on my 3K baht delivery. 

Why Singapore?

Wait so don't buy dodgy vapes because of "significant health risks and the dangers posed by unregulated and improperly handled materials." so that means buy ones that aren't dodgy but are illegal. Clear as mud. As it vape shop as far as I know are still shut down but there is now a thriving black market on line. These morons couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.

Tragic but difficult to understand.
