webfact Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Thai Foreign Minister criticized in parliament for Baghdad drone attack remark Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai was criticized by opposition MPs in parliament today over his controversial claim about receiving advance notice of the US drone attack, which killed an Iranian military commander, General Qasem Soleimani, in Baghdad, as both Opposition and Government MPs sought to cut the Foreign Ministry’s budget for the 2020 fiscal year. On the second day of the House debate on the budget bill today, Pheu Thai MP Cholnan Srikaew said that Mr. Don’s claim, which was subsequently retracted by the Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman Busadee Santipitak, had given him cause for concern that the foreign minister’s actions could suck Thailand into the US-Iran situation. He also praised the spokeswoman for doing a good job in correcting the error in a timely manner. Thailand’s Foreign Minister falsely claimed on Tuesday that the US had informed Thailand in advance of the drone attack on January 6th.

Popular Post rkidlad Posted January 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2020 If you can steal land from poor people or smuggle millions of dollars worth of heroin and keep your job as an MP for the army, I’m sure you can lie about or disclose information that could have huge diplomatic ramifications. This is surely just a ‘misunderstanding’. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post genset Posted January 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2020 Absolute flannel... The Trump administration don't advise the U.S. Congress (House or Senate), the Germans, British, French, or any other former coalition partner prior to this action, but Thailand gets a heads up, where do they find these morons. 8 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mickymouse1 Posted January 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2020 Very important creature. Did he inform his PM immediately? Who exactly communicated the warning to him and exactly how it came through and at what time? The answer was the following morning. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkidlad Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Can you imagine if a country did a drone attack on someone very important in Thailand, and another country bragged, "Yea, we were informed about the attack before it happened" Can they not see how bad this is?

Inform every tin-pot country they are about to surprise attack someone and take out their number two. You'd think there would be a reality check built in somewhere in government 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterwhisper Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Ah... Don and the White House. Such thick buddies. Macron, Merkel and Johnson must've been stewing in their juices that they apparently were bluntly passed by with such important information in favor of Mr. Don. Great relief in Paris, Berlin and London and champagne bottles popping when Don's claim turned out to be a lie -- which he didn't even have the spine to admit by himself, but instead let a spokesperson deliver the truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubon farang Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I dont think Donny would of told Thailand what he was going to do. He did not even tell his own congress I just dont get this I thought the congress was there to govern for the people but it looks like Donny can do what he likes. Does that make him a dictator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystified a lot of smart people for a long time has that question. Personally, I think there is copious evidence that the diplomatic community outside Thailand takes whatever Thais say with a bucket full of salt. Nobody takes Dom seriously, he's just a blowhard always and only ever trying to boost his own ego. A clown.

ThaiBunny Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I read the Thai FM's claim to have been told beforehand immediately after reading the Australian PM's claim not to have been told beforehand and I thought "Who's the bigger liar, based on everything we know about either of them?"
