Thailand is not being used by a "foreign power" as a base for nuclear missiles: Defence ministry spokesman

[webfact]

Picture: Naew Na

 

A defence ministry spokesman has hit back at claims by red shirt core leader Jatupon Prompon that a "great foreign power" was using Thailand as a base for nuclear missiles intending to attack a third country. 

 

Jatupon had claimed that the missiles were brought in on a container ship and some media were aware of the story. 

 

Lt Gen Khongcheep Tantrawanich said it was all nonsense, as reported by Naew Na yesterday.

 

The Thai government had no such agreement with anyone and was independent. The country was not being used as a base by any foreign power or their soldiers. 

 

Thailand has its own defence policies.

 

Khoncheep questioned Jatupon's motives in creating disruption and fear in Thai society.

Translation: Thailand can be used as a base for foreign nuclear missiles by whoever pays the most. 
 

Remember, Death Railway wasn’t built that long ago.

Thailand will become a nuclear hub on it's own. Right after the space and vaccine hubs.

Jatupon!  One of the shining stars of the Redshirt uprising.  I wouldn't get too worked up about what he comes out with.

Was he wearing his tinfoil hat?

There is much to be said about Thai historical events, such as:

 

1930's abdication to the UK... Why?

 

Why is the Thai flag the design it is? 

 

Thailand claim to have never been colonised by Western powers and yet Thailand was colonised by other Asian powers. 

 

The British and French decided to not take control of Thailand even though they could have either shared or taken power individually at any time, back in the day.

 

Where is Thailand geographically 

placed within SE Asia?

 

What seperates the West from the East? The middle East possibly. Or vast ocean.

 

It is not rocket science... 

 

Why can Thailand seem to be more  the aggressor towards other S.E Asian countries? Could it be because of foreign military back-up power?

 

Does Tourism alone bring wealth into Thailand?

 

What countries border Thailand and what countries are

considered a communist threat to the West that are closer to Thailand than Western countries?

 

Thailand claims to have an open and free society but who is in power?

 

The word 'Thailand' transliterated means 'LAND OF THE FREE'. REALLY?

 

Who paid for most of the major road networks plus airfields back in the day, and why?

 

And yet there is, or has never been, any foreign military influences within Thailand?

Yeah you just about covered every  white man superiority complex, entitlement conspiracy theory in one post. 

 

A bit hard for some to take that the Thais simply just outplayed all comers.

 

And if you look at their 3rd world neighbours who were invaded, I mean, colonized, they certainly did better without our "help".

Somchai in charge of nukes,  yes right on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If true, they could then be known as ‘Sanookclear missiles’.

As any party would get spanked, if spinning porkies about China, that leaves, Amerika. Stretching it even for a Thai conspiracy theory. Obama was unhappy with Thailand, Trump could not find it on a map and Biden, a repeat of Obama. Ah for those happy days of the aughts when George junior would pay handily for rendition privileges & RR for Iraq troops on rotation.

Rubbish.

Who in their right minds would trust Thailand to handle nuclear weapons?

[mancub]

Thailand mirrors it's bargirl mentality, as in, it'll be anything it thinks you want it to be and say anything it thinks you want to hear....but it will delude itself that it isn't so.

Nothing like a government denial of something to give credence to a lunatic conspiracy theory…

I can't think of any super power nation wishing to put nukes into Thailand as a base... zero maintenance and all that.

''Thailand has its own defence policy''    Run Lads; especially Generals, OR, Roll Over to the highest bidder !

[unblocktheplanet]

Umm, remember US bases in Thailand???

[clivebaxter]

They were quite happy for Thailand to be a base for the dropping of the most bombs in history on a single country, Laos is still suffering from that. So I would not be surprised if they were harboring nukes here. There are still over 70 million unexploded devices in Laos dropped via Thailand from USA planes.
