webfact Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 What Biden's victory means for Thailand and rest of the world By The Nation President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris celebrate at the Chase Center on Saturday night in Wilmington, Del. MUST CREDIT: Washington Post photo by Toni L. Sandys A leading Thai academic predicted a less-aggressive approach from the United States in a Joe Biden presidency compared to the outgoing Donald Trump administration. Dr Piti Srisangnam, an economist at Chulalongkorn University, shared his thoughts on his personal Facebook page on Sunday after Democrat Biden beat Republican Trump in the US presidential election. He said US economic policy, and international relations between Thailand and the US as well as between the US, China and India, would change in form but not in principle. The US will continue to block China's territorial expansion but will not be as aggressive as in Trump’s regime. Piti said the ongoing trade war will continue in the short term for 1-2 years. He expected the Democrat administration to adopt neo-liberal institutionalism by opening up new trading platforms. The new trading platforms must have qualifications and the US has to create the rules as a regulator and a player, he said. Piti predicted that the US was unlikely to return to the CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership), but it could open a new stage in the Indo-Pacific. Piti said the person to be watched the most was Vice President Kamala Harris, who would probably be the real policymaker. She is very efficient and talented with high enough potential to be the next presidential candidate and the first female president of the United States, he said. Piti said what a lot of people wanted to see today was not as much a Biden-Harris victory as the defeat of Trump. "After the president leaves office in the US, a Hall of Honour and a library will be built. We have to keep an eye on the merits and honours of the Trump Memorial Hall and Library, and in the next 10, 15, 20 and 30 years when the secret documents are de-classified, there would be many scholars wanting to know what happened in the past four years and Trump's secrets," he said. -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2020-11-09 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lacessit Posted November 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2020 As far as merits and honors go, Trump did not start any wars. Converting hatred, vindictiveness and toxicity into a memorial will take some doing. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they call the election result. That is what determines who is the next President. When you have Trump a##elickers such as Fox News calling the election result for Biden, that's a fairly reliable indication of which way the wind is blowing. 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, this is a big deal for the global community. Plus, Trump's love affair with conspiracy theories and lies hasn't helped much. It's just enabled other dictators to become more bold. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yellowboat Posted November 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2020 What Biden is going to do is a mystery, as he never talked about policy. The republicans in the senate dislike him. He will not get much from them. 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Emdog Posted November 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2020 I agree sometimes media jump the gun on calling an election. Prime example was 2000 election when Fox put Florida in Bush win column. The other networks followed suite & Gore conceded, only to try to take it back later. Public perception had been set that Gore lost, recounts and disputes took place until case went to Supreme Court & we know what happened there. So the recount was never finished in time. After the dust had settled, a recount was done (ignored by nearly everyone, let dead dogs lie?) Gore won Florida by 161 votes or so. And so went history. Fortunately the margins are far to great to make appreciable difference in recounts Interestingly, George W Bush congratulated Biden today Get over it. Biden won the popular vote and electoral vote 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republicans in the senate are controlled by that horrible politician, Mitch McConnell. He blocks everything he can just to cause problems. Luckily, Biden has a good relationship with him. You should research that. Edited November 9, 2020 by onthedarkside quote of hidden post removed 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was free and fair. Sad some attack the foundation of our democracy with junk like this. Not totally correct. Rampant voter suppression tactics were employed (Texas voter boxes, ridiculously long lines in many states). I suspect Biden's win would have been much bigger if this election were 100% fair. This issue really needs to be addressed, as well as the abolishment of the electoral college. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about racism. So yes, change is drastically needed. Edited November 9, 2020 by Jeffr2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailand49 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Don't expect anything from Biden unless his son shows up with him and that comes from a Demo. ???? Harris either from my home State she will bent with the wind first up is watch both financial records when it is time to leave office then look again. Her first move will be to pay up with India. It is like sports fraud or no Trump had 3 plus years to fix the problem you know the rules don't b-t-ch about it when you lose. Sadly it was his big mouth that lost him the election pure and simple my switch vote to him wasn't going to help the outcome! 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post reptile91602 Posted November 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2020 A message to trump followers! “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a long process to the supreme court. So far, none of their lawsuits have stuck. Many have already been struck down. And the recounts might only give Biden a bigger lead. Recounts can go either way.

Popular Post DaLa Posted November 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2020 I now expect all the problems in the world to be resolved. My lawn will be greener, ironing time will be halved, I’ll be able to lick my elbow whilst reading with my eyes shut. I can’t believe people think there is any great difference made when a new party takes control. My life has continued pretty much the same in the UK with right wing, left wing and co-coalition governments since I stopped voting 30 years ago. I found far more meaningful things to occupy myself with than pandering to the egos of politicians. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
