IMO a troll, plus slow on the uptake.

That didn't happen in 2014, 2006 and all the previous coups back to 1932, so why should it matter now?

I spend more now than when I came here back in 1993. IMO it is due to the forex rates changing over the years.

Most of the posters here do understand that most of the Thai population are too busy trying to make a living to demonstrate. They also understand that you can only push people so far before the people start pushing back. IMHO Thailand is getting to that point now.

I feel sad for the people who died if they were civilians. OTOH if the Russians had not illegally seized the Crimea in February and March 2014, it would not have happened.

It is that difficult if he does not want to understand.

The senate should NEVER be permitted any choice in the PM. They should also be elected by the Thai people, and NOT appointed by the military.

But the Russians are ALREADY using cluster munitions against civilian targets, whereas the Ukraine wants to use them against the Russian military. A completely different ball game. https://www.politico.eu/article/putin-says-russia-has-sufficient-cluster-bomb-stockpiles-to-strike-back-against-ukraine/#:~:text=In a report in May,%2C hospitals%2C and schools.” There is strong evidence, however, suggesting that Moscow has used cluster bombs in its war against Ukraine. In a report in May, Human Rights Watch said that “since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russian armed forces have used cluster munitions in attacks that have caused hundreds of civilian casualties and damaged civilian objects, including homes, hospitals, and schools.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_of_cluster_munitions_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine The use of cluster munitions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine (2022–present) has been recorded by a number of eyewitnesses and journalists, as well as representatives of the UN, humanitarian and public organizations.[1][2] In particular, the head of the UN Human Rights Council, Michelle Bachelet, reported on March 30 at least 24 cases since the beginning of the invasion.[3] As of July 1, hundreds of attacks by Russian forces with cluster munitions have already been recorded in the settlements of the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson and Chernihiv regions.[4][5][6] 215 civilians are known to have been killed in these shellings and 474 injured, many of which may go unreported.[6] Both Russia as well as Ukraine have used cluster munitions during the conflict, however, Russian use has been extensive while Ukrainian use has been more limited.[7]

Keep on your high horse, and keep believing that 250 people have more power than 27 million. Simply more coup BS support from you. You have no vote, and nobody cares what you think or want. The Thai voters have said who they voted for and what THEY want, and if it is not what you want, that is called democracy. It is their country and not yours, therefore what THEY want is paramount.

Yet the navy want to build an anti aircraft unit at a different national park. They will do far more damage in 1 hour than this guy will do in a year.

But the senators are appointed, UNELECTED and fireproof under the current coup government, and they can ride roughshod over the electors who voted for Pita. At least they believe so, but they are finding out that what the people want, is what the people voted for. NOT what the senators want or have been ordered to vote against.

It is all about money. The people currently living there are poor, have no standing, have no influential low friends in high places and are in the way of "progress". They simply don't matter. and are of no consequence to the government or the SRT. They may even have squatters rights, but under the current mob running things they are simply a nuisance, and will have to go.

They already have that in spades.

BS post. Do YOU have any evidence or proof?

Why do you NEED to know?

But quite normal for him.

Rubbish. At 2 years old I had no vision of a future. At 10 years old I knew I wanted to join the RAF and I did for 25 years. At 2 years old I only knew (more or less where I lived). At 65 I had lived and worked in 38 countries worldwide. Peoples thoughts. ideas and circumstances change as they grow older. What you thought of at 2 or 10 years old or even when you left school change your outlook on life. There are people in my old tow who perhaps have been on package holidays but have never left their rots behind, and they are happy with that.

That happened 50 years and several generations ago. The world has changed during those 50 years, so has Thailand. There are not enough police or military to cover every city in Thailand 24/7 nor can they garrisoned 24/7/365. That is assuming that every policeman and every soldier is 100% loyal to the government. It seems that you have not.

Most people here are not perfect but many of them will be suffering through their families and family businesses simply because 250 people are families, cronies and mates of the one man that appointed them to their lucrative fireproof UNELECTED position. Why should those senators families not suffer also? After all they are reaping the benefits of their husbands position, so why should they not reap the downside also?

IMHO Thailand has reached the point where the government, military, HiSos et al cannot fool all of the people all of the time anymore, and the Thai people are now starting to push back.

There are many many more unhappy Thai people out there then there are unhappy senators. They al least voted for who THEY wanted and by default they also voted for who they DON'T want. What they DON'T want is 250 UNELECTED senators telling them that they will be sued if they step out of line. What they DO want is what they voted for.

Sadly the law is set up to protect them. Ignoring the law would be a better option.

I am happy that you feel that way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election It is a shame that 81,283,501 US citizens disagree with you and only 74,223,975 agree with you. Isn't democracy a wonderful thing when the majority rules.

Perhaps Fox should change their logo to "Fox Entertainment" which would most probably be more correct.
