Well, Joe later on was told, that Thailand is a country on planet earth and Srettha is the CEO of that political circus performing on the other side of the planet ...

Not really, he's an elected MP and was elected PM by the parliament/senate.  That's how it works, just like in the UK.

Doesn't he know that it is not only soldiers with their guns and tanks who are unelected PMs in this Banana Republic of Thailand?

The uk parliament does NOT have a 50% say in the election of a political party so NO,,,,, nothing like the UK!

The prime minister is NOT elected as shown in this current fiasco, the PM is selected by the party given the nod to form the government.
