KhunLA Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 If any new 'democratic' administration cowers to the west, and starts a proxy war with Myanmar, I'd welcome the generals back to take charge again. Hopefully no FTA with the USA either, as both wouldn't be good for TH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or without conscription the generals would have to pay for their own servants. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brian Hull Posted May 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2023 It seems that Thailand has at last got a government with some balls to confront the Burmese military thugs and support the freedom fighters. I hope they will also condemn Putin's murderous invasion of Ukraine and once again we will see Thailand respectfully treated as one of the responsible countries of the world. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the terrorists are the like of General Win, his Junta cronies and the Tatmadaw. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Interesting indication - the generals across the border are getting scared too - right so! Maybe the Thai dinosaurs should all congregate in Naypiyadaw, declare the latter a separate country and leave Thailand as well as Myanmar in peace ....... wishful thinking? Well, we shall see ????

Who’d have thunk that supporting anti democracy juntas has real world death and destruction consequences. Shame on all those who have argued against democracy in Thailand - hiding behind that tiny tiny false fig leaf “Thaksin is the devil”. What you guys support is disgusting. This is not the first time that I have said that Thailand is, for many of a "certain sort" of Westerner, what South American countries were, after the Second World War, for a "certain sort" of German. Evidenced daily on these pages. Edited May 24, 2023 by Enoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The terrorists is THEM . I don't know why the world is ( mostly )ignoring the fact that this country has been taken from a young democracy to a murderous autocracy that does not value the life of their citizens . And there are still countries who support them actively by providing weapons , like Russia and China ... Shame on them ! Previously rather difficult for Free West to give direct materiel support to the resistance. Whereas China has direct land access to Myanmar and covets access to Indian Ocean. Chinas huge change from Regional Suzerainty to Global Ambition also makes Myanmar a greater area of concern for the Free West (and India) than it was. Ideological changes in Thailand may modify the situation. Edited May 24, 2023 by Enoon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
