ISOC Missions Can No Longer Be Run As In Cold War Era: PM

[webfact]

 

THE INTERNAL SECURITY Operations Command’s missions can no longer be carried out as in the Cold War era which ended long ago, according to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin.

 

The prime minister tweeted on his X page to suggest that the army-led agency give up on the outdated Cold War rationale and instead render its missions more compatible with the changing environment particularly in the restive southernmost region by, he said, stepping up contributions to the implementation of government plans and schemes to stimulate local economy as well as create jobs and better welfare for the people, among other measures.

 

Meanwhile, the prime minister reconfirmed that the Pheu Thai-led government has had no policy to dissolve the ISOC with respect to the insurgency-infested Deep South region though legislation designed in the opposite direction may be lodged at parliament.

ISOC agrees, this will mean more secret funding for them.

In other words, this group is definitely needed, but just give us a moment to figure out what it's needed for...
