you mean the same force the rest of the world used when army took over in a milatary coup in 2014? or the fair elections a couple of years ago?

The west is dragging protestors off the street in unmarked vehicles kgb style and you expect them to police thailand?

thailand does not have oil reserves like arab countries .

China is cracking down on hong kong lots of threats are made by world lets see what policing can do if china sticks 2 fingers up

Animal Farm circa 2020 (not 1984).

Farmer Jones should be running a mile to get away from the impending red sunset.

Cudo to the students, going in the streets to fight for the right of free speech. I admire you all and you are fighting for the right thing. Democracy and a chanse to live together in peace.

[Asking for a friend]

Sadly, the global Marxist agenda pushes on, once America falls to it, countries such as Thailand will have the fight of their lives. “Democracy” is Marxist dog-whistling meaning mob rules, unpersoning, socialism, purges of the unbelievers, then the pure communism that never seems to be established, almost as if it is a lie.

[LeoCesar]

At least they try to do something.

I can imagine how afraid they must feel.

Keep it going youngsters.

I don’t lament the trying to change things, I lament the inevitable infiltration and manipulation of young minds that happens. A whole new world of horrors awaits us this decade. I need my morning coffee.

Having lived through the last 2 in Thailand I can say with certainty, sadly there is not a chance in hell of that ever happening. 

the only change thats ever going to come will be the usual from one military faction to another... Democracy has never been a thing in Thailand.

And what do they intend to replace the current government with? 

 

More self-serving, corrupt, narcissistic, nepotistical idiots. 

 

All in the name of democracy aka choosing the wrong leaders.

Fair play to them, it would be hard to make up a better description of the corrupt government running the country !

Well - if comparing the tax rates in Thailand to those in many Western (especially: European) countries... I would assume, if they applied the same tax rates here in LOS, they would have already set up the guillotines for those greedy politicians !

 

And of cause, there isn’t any corruption in Western countries - we call it lobbyism !

At this time the rest of the world is preoccupied with Covid-19. 

Not much support for Hong Kong either aside from empty words.

That's it. We can't have a rewrite of the constitution making it much fairer and implementing checks and balances so 'elected officials' are held accountable for their actions. That clearly is impossible. 

 

No. Thais must accept the situation it is now. Might it right. Regardless of who has the guns.

You can have what you like but you'll end up with the same thing. Corrupt politicians helping themselves not the public.

Well, at least let the people choose who those officials are.

 

But at the end of the day, the coup was supposed to ensure a proper constitution and police reform, etc. They didn't do that 'cos they don't wanna end corruption. 

 

Things can always change.

Well after almost 40years here I can say not much does change and certainly not corrupt politics.
