That's one very evil <deleted> head, the Afghans had their chance and they pretty much blew it. Hopefully they will piss Putin off and he will invade them with his new mighty army and all the recently manufactured arms he has been making to fight the Ukraine!

I cannot believe Americans, their country never prospered under Obama, just started wars, Trump despite his outspoken sometimes rather crazy statements got the economy going, lowered unemployment, stopped global tensions just to name a few. The Biden administration opened the southern borders, raised unemployment, raised the cost of living, changed laws to protect perpetrators and did little to stop global tensions! I hope Kennedy steals many dem votes and Trump is reelected! Which US states are doom & gloom and which are economically sound, Texas & Florida comes to mind for the success's and California as a failure, yes there are many more but thats just off the top of my head and I am not American and have only visited. Best state in my visits was Florida!

"Overall, Obama's active involvement in Biden's campaign reflects both his concern for Biden's electoral success and their strengthened partnership in pursuit of shared political goals" You mean concerned for their own skins & personal financial gains! Its time to drain the swamp, just make sure you include the Clintons!

Not true that he is a "do-nothing" PM Spidermike, he talks and travels a lot!!!

Its a global agenda, not just Australian's who are probably better off than most! The current system is not self sustaining and globally most countries populace will fall further into poverty except the elite who will as always benefit from the demise of the masses! The banking system is geared to break us unless you are part of it, the food chain is becoming more toxic & expensive by the day and so it goes on! The electric vehicle clean energy agenda has a larger carbon foot print than those that run on fossil fuels, another con!. A number of good leaders with a vision were removed because they wanted to change these things for the better but the elite didnt want that when they were getting by the day. JFK assassinated by his own VP and law enforcement agencies, September 11 World trade centre, how many innocent people killed, a precursor to invade Iraq with the further false claim of WOMD, what a disgrace! The destabilisation of the Middle East, firstly Iraq and now look how its spread, the Covid scam and what happened to leaders who opposed the WHO's filthy agenda instigated by people like Bill Gates who controls the foundation which is the largest WHO donor! Until these instigators & perpetrator's who have intentionally carried out these atrocities to further their financial gains are dealt with there will be no improvements. Russia, Israel, Myanmar, Yemen wars should all be stopped, Hamas should be held accountable & Israel withdraw from the Palestinian enclave, Russia should withdraw from the Ukraine and honour the long established border, Isis should be eradicated as they have further destabilised the Middle East, the USA and to a lesser extent Britain has a lot to answer for on the global stage, especially their presence in the Middle East which has been destabilising almost since the end of WW11. China should be halted in its continual land grabs from most of its neighbours and their continual illegal fishing practices. This is just the tip of the iceberg so when you ask yourself why the populace is getting poorer it will continue to do so until the agenda is eradicated.

Yes it is their country and their rules but the problem is the privileged few including the RTP dont live by the rules they swore to uphold and this is where Thailand will come unstuck. Yes thats their problem but its the workers & poorer people of Thailand who loose out so why should the "elite" and people in places of authority keep breaking the very rules they are supposed to be enforcing. Corruption will be Thailands downfall.

Yes thats very true but do you really think they are going to get their snouts out of the trough?

Just get on with tending to Thailands real problems, Thaksin will do what he wants to do regardless!

Yes and they are going to use it in the Chao Phraya River!

Yes but thats too sensible!

Certainly there have been a few unsavoury incidents carried out by foreigners but you can't have your cake and eat it at the same time, there will always be incidents with so many foreigners visiting the Kingdom. The offenders should be punished accordingly based on the facts of the crime. Meanwhile many shootings, bashings, rapes, extortion and the involvement in various scams by thais including the RTP & Monks which often goes unpunished. If you have a society that permits its law makers to consistently break the very laws they are supposed to uphold then this is the result.

I firmly believe china only does things that will benefit china mostly at the partners expense, Thailand will get shafted! Also hard to believe that the interconnecting 7.3 km link will cost over USD 400M per kilometer, someone is going to get very rich!

That's refreshing if thats the case! I didnt notice any dual pricing when I was last in Vietnam but its certainly still very apparent here in Thailand from street markets to haircuts!

Unfortunately it seems to be how it works in Thailand for big shots like Big Joke! I guess the chain of events that have unfolded means there is some truth to the allegations levelled against him otherwise he would now be holding the top job instead of being moved sideways. No wonder MFP wanted to make some reforms so there would actually be a law because as it stands if the allegations have substance then BJ has knowingly by the law enforcers broken the law! Now he is off on overseas travel with family, can you really believe what a circus this entire scenario is!

Oh really, that surprises me!!!!

Thailand has almost 10,000 petroleum wells of which some are oil producing, crude oil reserves of around 140 million barrels.

You have to wonder how smart these guys are, why would they advertise this fact when the peoples elected leaders of choice are in the opposition!!! Maybe the meetings scheduled for April 1st !!

Quite honestly why does Thailand need a submarine and a Frigate with Stealth technology as well as 12 new fighter jets ? Spend the money on a few smaller coastal patrol boats that maybe they have a better chance of looking after, 3 modern jets and the balance of the money on projects that better the lives of the Thai people. Which country has been an enemy of Thailand since the 2nd world war, apart from some very minor skirmishes with Cambodia over a long standing border dispute there hasn't been any need for National Defense.

Absolutely agree on all of your comments!

This forum does seem to have its fair share of older Englishman who are often quite scathing in their response to others posts, they really seem to take it personally!!

I always thought that Big Joke was partially honest and still believe he has dirt on some big fishes!

"TWO BROTHERS from New Zealand who tried to snatch a Phuket policeman’s pistol" As stupid as they were they did take it off him, there was no "trying" about it!

A really crazy thing to do and they should get their arses kicked for it! However the usual Thai quality reporting and the BS associated with the incident. Some reports say the policeman wasn't injured, he was checked out in hospital and released, others say he is recovering in hospital!! Other reports state the brothers assaulted him whereas the video shows that 1 brother after tackling the policeman wrestled the gun off him, then handed it to the other brother who simply removed the magazine and the bullet in the chamber. There was a shot fired accidentally from the pistol which fortunately didnt hit anyone in the struggle to gain control of the gun. You have to ask yourself why they felt the need to disarm the policeman. Evidently he accepted their gift basket and apologies but his seniors denied this.

Do you assume so much?

Yes very true, mainly due to the loss of face!
