Popular Post Gold Star Posted September 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2021 Well, that's good that they will finally play a crucial role for a change. I'm looking forward to hear him talk about progress in reducing Thailand's greenhouse emissions, denounce the coup in Myanmar and return to free elections, reducing China's influence and control in Thailand, and acknowledge the government's mistakes and failure to deliver ample and effective vaccines to fight Covid. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing along the lines regarding these grave concerns. He'll be asking for money. Bottom line. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure there will be a considerable amount of Horse Trading taking place in the Back Room meetings that will be out of the main arena limelight. With the new Alliance between the US, UK and OZ over the procurement of Nuclear Subs for OZ, along with the survailance of the S. China Sea by this new Alliance, I am positive Thailand will have some cards to play. It just depends on what they offer, and the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ship has sailed. The US has moved on to Vietnam as its key ally in the region, something I think might be formalized within a few years. Thailand has already played it cards and lost. The only country still dealing them a hand is China. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
