Thailand (as with everyone else) should be cheering his death Thailand, pragmatic as always, would probably order mourning for Hitler if it brought in a few more tourists. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post klauskunkel Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 Quote Thailand Lowers Flags to Half-Mast for President Raisi Just leave them at half-mast year round, to mourn your own daily road deaths..., but no, you have to mourn the passing of an oppressive, tyrannical tool instead. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcheech Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Good to see all is forgiven. 14 February 2012 bomb explosions; a botched attempt by Iranian Nationals to kill Israeli Embassy people. Lets face it excrement can happen when you do terror attacks. Things can go wrong. It is not all hacking apart foreign workers in Gaza with farm implements while chanting allah akbar, and what fun that (!) No, somedays the bombs just go off when you are running from the police in Bangkok and there go your legs too. Good to know that is all water under the bridge as far as Thailand is concerned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll guarantee there's some celebrating going on. The problem is of course when one fundementalist dies (got knocked off????) another madman will replace him. A lot of Iranians ARE celebrating. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mark131v Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 (edited) Birds of a feather flock together! Two authoritarian regime's who are more than happy to kill their young women if they dare express resistance to the status quo, in short horrible murdering bastard's A country where given a 50/50 chance of doing the right thing versus doing the wrong thing always manages to pick wrong It does speak volumes though and with friends like Russia,China and N Korea really does empathise Thailand's priorities and show exactly where her leaderships sympathies lie, hopefully the world will take notice ...

The US has been utterly inept. One of the reasons China gets results in its diplomacy is that it doesn't hesitate to punish countries who act against its interests. The US doesn't do that. It just takes it on the chin, so to speak. Plus China would never allow its citizens to be treated badly without a major reaction. Remember about a year or so ago, when Chuwit was publicizing the growth of Chinese triads? The Chinese embassy responded with a public message instructing Thai media that they should not include criminals' nationality when reporting on them. Notice how few stories these days mentions Chinese organized crime? Chinese pressure worked. The US doesn't give a fig. So it looks like a weak and pitiful giant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prakhonchai nick Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has ordered the mourning period, which will be observed on May 23rd, 24th and 27th. The break on May 25th is due to the Visaka Bucha public holiday. Surely Visaka Bucha was yesterday 22nd May!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the foreign politics and wars in mind, but yes, being a totalitarian state has its advantages, you get things done, and you can control people. Outsourcing and giving away technology as well double standards playing around with dictators with one hand, and slap them with another, makes Usa vulnerable for friends who finely will turn the back to them, especially if they start threatening them with sanctions or not backing them up in crises.

I totally agree with you. Though USA is led by companies, they are in control with big negative impact. The weird story about letting go a murderer on a journalist in exchange for oil. Bringing down Greece by shady contracts. A Blackrock is certainly not a very fine company even a dangerous company, is my personal opinion. Well there are more of those companies and they are in charge of the planet. Today's system we are running, is a complete rotten system. All led by dictators for their own gain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
