That doesn't automatically mean these people are honest and reliable and sincere or have contributed solidly to building a better society with no gain to themselves or desire to have personal gain. You could include Trump in that assertion. He has very loyal followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can only assist in locating and arrest of a suspect. In this case, Interpol turned down an application for an Interpol notice. Assisting in locating and arresting a suspect is not enforcing a warrant? Then what is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She won't suffer the same intervention that she did as PM, so actually there is no reason to assume that whatsoever, you don't actually think that things would have gone as they did without other people messing up her early deals and then preventing any more from taking place and then crying foul when the rice they prevented from being sold had not been sold, do you?

Pretty much everything until the amnesty nonsense, where she was assumed to be a puppet, perhaps rightly. The art of being a manager is to keep an even keel. No spectacular victories, no spectacular defeats. Were it not for the amnesty bill, we would not have had Chanocha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't ignore it, at least that was not my intention. At best it was not a sparkling example of management but I am and have always been very, very suspicious that it is much more off a beat-up by Chanocha than a serious 'ultra viries' loss to the country. It was a subsidy. If corruption existed, punish it, put people in the slammer, but it was a subsidy portrayed as a government boondoggle. Yingluck's mistake was to underestimate Prem and his determination to find or manufacture grounds for yet another military coup on behalf of his sponsors. Perhaps for and on behalf of someone else, who's to say? Thankfully, his reward will not be long in coming but that's my personal opinion. State occasion be damned, I go with Eric Idle and Monty Python - 'Burned buried or dumped?'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, all involved; thaksin and yingluck, the red / udd folks who tried, even with serious faults in their strategy, to push it through while thailand was asleep, a stupid idea, driven by deceit, poor judgement, immoral, severely lacking of ethics and total lack of respect for the thai people / thai nation and ultimately massive greed.

Seems to me hindsight is irrelevant, all of them should have known from the first moment, 'this is totally wrong' and moved quickly away from the idea.

Perhaps you views were being influenced by the entity that investigated her and brought charges in a rather short period and was needed to legitimize the coup. The fact that NACC is not really a independent agency and staffed by junta appointed members and a president that worked for Prawit may have clouded your judgement. The manner they ruled his innocence must be your last straw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
