webfact Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 US-Thai diplomatic relations return to normal Photo from www.aseanthai.net The US government downgraded its diplomatic relations with Thailand following the coup in 2014 , which overthrew the government of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. Bilateral relations have, however, steadily been returning to normal since this year’s general election in Thailand and the formation of an elected government. The United States looks forward to cooperating with Thailand in all areas, said Peter Haymond, the outgoing US chargé d’affaires. Mr. Haymond, who assumed his role as the chargé d’affaires in October 2018, paid a courtesy call on Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan on Wednesday morning to bid farewell at the end of his tour of duty in Thailand. He also introduced his successor, Mr. Michael Heath, to the deputy prime minister. Heath is the former US consul general in Chiangmai who speaks influent Thai and is married to a Thai.

Eligius Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Everything is hunky-dory in Thailand now. We have a marvellous, fair and just government and a wholly benign power structure (the two Burmese boys have just been officially confirmed as the murderers and rapists of the two Brits on Koh Tao, and the death penalty definitively imposed on those über-powerful Burmese monsters); we have enjoyed a wonderful, free and fair election (quite honestly, it should be a model for all other nations to follow - they can learn from Thailand); and we have a general rule of law that is second to none. It would make me proud to be a Thai or an American - or a Brit! Carry on Regardless!!! Edited August 30, 2019 by Eligius 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neeray Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Most certainly, buying 120 used army vehicles from USA goes a long way to normalizing the relationship. But what if those vehicles had been bought from China instead? Would the same USA / Thailand relationship normalization have taken place? Go figure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Ronny Regan (yep, a b grade actor got more cred than DT OMG !! ????????) used this phrase it seems to have far more credibility that how DT uses it lol. Make American a cracker racist icon you mean lol lol ???? Next thing will be another trumped up (excuse the unintended pun) war to garnish patriotic fervour so the fat cats in Washington and elsewhere can make a few billion to share before DT and the rightist hawks have to leave office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
