Why is the US not selling their F35 fighter jets to Thailand? Bickering continues between Move Forward and Pheu Thai over the House Speaker job, who is the most numerous serial killer in Thailand? Really Cool Airlines announces some of its planned routes, but not much else. The Tourism Authority of Thailand announces a new governor... and maybe a new calculator?

With Thailand on the fence regarding its allegiance towards China or USA, it's no wonder the US has backed off supplying Thailand with F35A jets.  

Imagine a conflict where Thailand are in dog fights with other F35A jets flown by US fighter pilots!
