My first thought was <deleted>?

But now I wonder if this is a "lost in translation" thing and means the complete opposite? As in "has nothing but means everything"?  

I like your first thought . . . mine was exactly the same!

[Eric Loh]

Allow me to re-phrase “ politics have nothing to do with the military”. Now I feel better.

It seems they wanted their version of "Chalerm"! 

 

And to be fair, he's right up their and even might take Chalerm's mantle.

 

Still, we've got Boris and the Yanks have someone even higher now!

No matter how tight you screw your eyes closed and will it to be otherwise, this thread has nothing to do with the previous government. Nothing whatsoever.

Childishly petulant, even for you!

 

It has nothing to do with the UK or US either. But comparing people with similar habits is relevant, and even could be amusing.

 

Try reading it again when you remember to take your meds!

Petulance doesn't come into it when you are trying to divert the thread and make it about somebody else. Why? If you think Prawit is doing a great job, come out and say it as is your right. If you don't, say that instead.

[Ceruhe]

Democrazy has also nothing to do with politics I presume?

 

I hope I won't live until the day liquid water has nothing to do with wetness.

 

This is meme worthy.

Are you so unable to comprehend sarcasm and satire? Or is it just obscured by some paranoia that any comparisons are some conspiracy to divert threads? Something you never do of course, haha!

 

So you think that comparing Prawit to Chalerm , Boris and the Donald is tantamount to saying he's doing a good job? All well known for their intelligent comments and high intellect blended with political savvy are they?

 

Still confusing for you?

Well, after 3 and a half years of 'but, but, somebody else' that some posters are so fond of when it comes to junta threads, can you really blame me for being a little paranoid?

At first I thought he said "Military has nothing to do with Police"

Now there would be a barrel of worms

Can't speak for Baboon, but for me, I understand sarcasm and satire pretty well, and believe it or not, have been known to use both in the cut and thrust of intelligent (and sometimes not-so-intelligent) discussion. What really fogs my vision though, is boredom from the junta-hugger's perpetual delusions and obfuscations.

 

One of the other things I understand is that birds of a feather flock together, and that we make assumptions about the intelligence of others based on the proximity of their intelligence to our own.

Maybe. But do read the content and digest first.

 

A real obfuscating and diverter has just jumped in btw. I know your're not like that.

[DM07]

I am sorry, if someone already pointed that out, but...ousting an elected government has nothing to do with politics?

With what does it have something to do?

Fishing?

Prawit is a definite liability, Prayut should move him to an inactive post.

You couldn't make this stuff up THe government is about political power and the military are the government now so how can this guy try and convince us that the military aren't interested in governing

[bangrak]

Thank you, three times, Mr DPM, General, Prawit, this is a great annoucement! ...When it'd become true. From which year on do you think this could be achieved? Meaning the military no medling with politics in Thailand. Not wanting to pin you on a precise date, not for this matter, nor for the general elections actually, as the people will understand the agenda will be established according to what the military brass will want to achieve for itself first. Yes sir, the leopard and it's spots, stuff like that. LOL

Same thing really. Not generals but they have all the pretty badges and ribbons. The Thai army has more generals than the US army, which means they're probably like old golfers - never die, they just lose their balls.

Understand but please, a little sympathy for the soldiers. Having nailed their colours to the big mast in exchange for a place at the dinner table (the trough), they then have to do what they're told and pretend it's out of love and devotion rather than just feeling good about themselves.

 

Sad really, but nothing the Flynn effect wan't fix. Eventually.

It's inevitable. Promotion is based on years served and who your patron is (that is, whose backside you've been brown-nosing and who you've been passing brown envelopes to throughout your career).. Salary for life no matter how senile you get, and room at the trough for your snout. Grace and favour house for life if you're an old queen with appetittes, and a constant flow of younger, nubile aides de camp to keep your inclinations well satisfied. One of the reasons there is so much corruption in the armed forces; so many snouts to feed and selling army weapons and equipment on the black market will only go so far.
