But they also realize that there is little that they can do about it. 1 bullet is all it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are, unfortunately, lots of other dinosaurs who would simply step into his shoes, with relish. Only the Thai people can decide what the way forward is - or to go on being yanked back centuries into a feudalist past. It is up to them. Not easy for them (I sympathise hugely) - as all democratic means have effectively been stolen from them (the recent 'election' and its 'result' were the most shocking and heart-breaking example of that) ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaceful methods never change anything. Long term political change only every comes about from extreme acts of violence. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven must have a secret stash of them!! In this photo, Prayut is clearly gesturing his high respect to his number one fan - Steven100!! He must have a massive "wank bank" of Prayuth pictures. ????

Being a non elected PM, Prayut does not have the pressure of accountability and if his cabinet fail, he may not need to face the people and still has a fall-back plan relaying on the appointed upper house to get him re-elected. He has still not pick up courage to join PPRP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will likely to see the ministries for Agriculture, Commerce, Education and Finance struggle to cooperate and work together when staffed with politicians from 3 different parties and each party has their own agenda on serving their support bases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayut's appointment of HIMSELF also as Minister of Defense is unhealthily untraditional. I'm only surprised that he didn't also appoint himself as Minister of Justice or Deputy Prime Minster for "Whatever." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep an eye on his deputy minister for agriculture. We had him on holidays in Australia for 8 months in goal before we deported him. He naturally claims it was a mistake and he was innocent. But - then again - everybody in goal claims to be innocent - - - - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
