For example, those who make claims they can't support with facts. -

No, I don't "watch the news", I read the news from a variety of sources. My guess is that you don't. You posted: "Then he won the elction anyway against all the odds and all the so-called predictive polls. Because he was exposing and fighting corruption in government. " I made a simple request, give one example of Trump exposing and fighting corruption. I am not aware of any, and I'm reasonably well informed. Your unwillingness or inability to support your claim leads me and others to conclude that you are not well informed. -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
heybruce replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
How long can Putin wait? "Now, however, sanctions are finally beginning to strangle the Russian economy in ways that could set it back for years. Laura Solanko of the Bank of Finland recently described how Russia is undergoing “reverse industrialization” in which the military-industrial complex driven by war needs crowds out the consumer economy, as in Soviet times. “Russia is stuck ineluctably on a path to lower potential growth and a bleak economic future,” Solanko wrote on March 27." https://finance.yahoo.com/news/putins-getting-nervous-about-russias-sinking-economy-201143630.html -

You mean the predicted unusual number of mail-in ballots during a pandemic? Most coming from people voting for the party that did not deny that Covid was a legitimate health emergency and that did not want to wait in crowded indoor polling stations. Every allegation of voter fraud was investigated. Only a trivial number were found to be legitimate, and they were mostly Republican votes. -

There were recounts, audits, and rulings by Republican and Trump appointed judges. All reached the same conclusion, the election was fair and the result legitimate. No allegation of fraud stood up to any kind of scrutiny. What will a "proper, independent investigation" investigate? -

There were not widespread allegations of fraud, there were nonsensical allegations put out by Trump and his team of psychotics, amplified by Faux News pundits who didn't believe them. -

Seriously? In spite of all the recounts, audits, and court cases that determined the election results were fair and legitimate, you think it's acceptable to storm the Capitol to prevent the certification of the election? So in your mind it's democratic to ignore all rules and logic, declare you don't believe the clear election results and overthrow the government. That's not democracy, it's anarchy. -

Undemocratic attitudes? It wasn't Trump opponents who invaded the Capitol in an attempt to violently prevent the certification of a legitimate election result. -

Right, why don't those teenage girls being raped by family or acquaintances use contraception? Don't those underage women who were denied any sex education know about contraception? Why don't those women with a deformed fetus unlikely to survive not want to carry the fetus to term? Why don't women with health issues want to have the baby or die trying? Of course when contraception fails, as it sometimes does, I guess the woman is just SOL. -

Do you really not know this? Six in 10 not wanting Trump to be President again means four in 10 either want Trump to be President or are undecided. Some people want to know what the alternative is before choosing. -
"The Red Shirts (Thai: เสื้อแดง, romanized: Suea Daeng) are a political movement in Thailand, formed following the 2006 coup d'état which deposed then-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Shirts_(Thailand) No coup, no redshirts. The redshirts are both a symptom and an attempt at a cure for the disease of military coups and undemocratic rule. You prefer the disease.

I like the way you qualified your post--IHMO, In Humble My Opinion. You greatly humbled your opinion by overlooking the most obvious flaw: There is no peaceful way to remove military leaders who don't want to go. The peaceful change in leadership is the greatest strength of democracy, but your hatred of all things Shinawatra blinds you to that.

Countries that border on Russia seem to have a choice between joining NATO and being threatened with attack, or not joining NATO and being invaded. It's not a difficult choice.

The last two coups would not have happened if the Thai military had not chosen to overturn democracy. Democracy, for all its failings, has accountability. Leaders can be changed peacefully when the majority wants change. Coups happen when a minority wants to maintain undeserved privilege. Change comes at gunpoint.
