Popular Post webfact Posted May 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2023 Myanmar’s military government said this week that it would have to rethink its relationship with Thailand following statements made by the next prime minister-elect of Thailand following his election victory, according to local media. The second most powerful man in the Myanmar regime, General Soe Win, warned his troops that Thailand’s likely new government was ‘pro West’ and would help the ‘terrorists’ operating in his country, according to The Irrawaddy newspaper. Since taking power by force in 2001, Myanmar’s military government has embarked a bloody campaign of repression and violence sparking a low-simmering civil war with violent confrontations taking place near the Thai border. by Arun Saronchai Full story: https://www.thaienquirer.com/49777/myanmar-junta-says-it-will-rethink-relationship-with-thailand/ -- © Copyright Thai Enquirer 2023-05-26 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post Enoon Posted May 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) I doubt that the regimes in Laos and Cambodia are feeling very happy about an outbreak of the hated Democracy, in their backyards, either. The next time someone asks who Thailand needs to defend itself against (and why the new government is looking to buy new armaments).......you know the answer.

Premier is shorthand for Prime Minister. I understand his post to mean that Pita, though not yet having been voted in as PM by his coalition partners and ham-strung by a senate of self-serving geriatric generals, has managed to damage relationships with the merciless Myanmar generals. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History can bear testament to how well your type of appeasement to despotic dictatorships works; and you are obviously completely oblivious to the changing attitude of the electorate of Thailand. The electorate have told everyone that they want to live under a democracy, one that can unlock the full potential of this wonderful country, and bring education and health care to all, not just to the privileged elite. 4 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Enzian Posted May 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2023 Saw at the FCCT last night an hr long film about resistance fighters in Burma gun running arms to other fighters in Chin state, places where the junta's armies currently are shut out. They are using worn out motorbikes with the weapons strapped on the back in bags, some of those weapons being bolt action 30-06, at least it's something. People in the film tell stories about houses being burned, civilians and livestock shot. But they are determined; they're not giving up. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I speak about Thailands politics against Myanmar....Myanmars dictatorship does not treat Thailand so there is no appeasement.
