Craving constant acceptance,  he likes jumping on any international bandwagon.  If all this is true, why is he buying so many weapons?  Submarines are non threatening.   

What on earth is 'sustainable security' ? It is totally meaningless.

I seem to recall he did not support the fellow ASEAN dispute with China over the sea area.

I thought the Thai army did not retreat except in the face of an enemy with guns.

'Sustainable' seems to be the 'go to' word at the moment.

Any of the world's problems can be fixed by sticking the word sustainable in front of them.

Think population growth or energy resources.

That is known as tactical withdrawal in any army. Throw in 'sustainable' and it's a winner. A tactical withdrawal to maintain a sustainable fighting force.  ????

To answer your question.......... That is the reasoning behind buying all that Military Hardware as tanks and Armoured Personell Carriers..... 

He suspects that soon the 'Thai Public' are going to get tired on his 'reckless power' and start revolts---- as in Hong Kong now..... ALL that 'armoured' equipment is intended for use against his own 'Thai people'.......

If you haven't considered and thought about that.... Time to wake up and smell the coffee......

well, if it has anything to do with the military in this military top-heavy country, then it has to be good for all of us, right ?

AND one of those Armoured Personell Carriers will be permanently assigned as his personal car for around town to prevent him from getting taken down personally during any revolts......

An APC didn't help Diem and Nhu. Not the same situation in Thailand, of course. But the point is those machines can be mobile prisons as well as fortified limousines.

To provide diplomatic parity with Thailand's Prime Minister Prayut as Head of Government, shouldn't those 18 foreign countries also be sending their Head of Government for the meeting as well?
