There is no question that Thailand has had morally bankrupt leaders for a very long time now. Abhisit was probably the last one who had a modest level of integrity and they got rid of him, Pita has a lot of integrity and they wouldn't let him rule, even though he was democratically elected. The power base here is simply way too toxic for a man with honor, like him. 

 

Anything any nation can do to embarrass the Thai government, humiliate them, and expose them for what they are is a good thing. The deportation of these people to China was an abomination and left a huge amount of egg on the face of Thailand.

 

Shame on you little Thaksin Jr. 

 

Human rights with Thai characteristics.

Ultimate hypocrisy, since the US itself is involved in massive deportation of immigrants, many of whom are lawfully seeking asylum from violent South American drug cartels, and the US recently arrested and detained a fully legal green card carrying man without a warrant or any legal justification, just on allegations of his political leanings.  

Asylum from general violence isnt recognized and applications arent made by crossing the border outside a port of entry. Any person who enters outside of a port of entry has entered illegally and is thus subject to summary deportation.

 

 

The terrorist supporter was lawfully arrested and subject to deportation. You are clearly unfamiliar with the law.

Response to the recent policy announcement by the U.S. Department of State on 14 March 2025

 

1. The Thai Government notes the policy announced by the U.S. Department of State on 14 March 2025 and in this regard, the Thai Government has received assurances from the Government of China concerning the safety of the Uyghurs and will continue to follow up on the well-being of this group. The Thai Government has also clarified this matter with countries that have concerns on many occasions. Thailand has always upheld a long tradition of humanitarianism, particularly in providing assistance to displaced persons from various countries for more than half a century and will continue to do so.

 

2. Thailand has always and will continue to value the long-standing and close treaty alliance with the United States, based on mutual respect and shared strategic interests both at the bilateral and regional levels.

I wonder if they think, "well, that takes care of that, now about those American companies and their data centers  . . . ."

...they can defend themselves with 1000 generals and a Chinese sub that just needs a diesel engine ...

And a few planes for the aircraft carrier.

Don’t forget countless bar girls to distract the enemy allowing the sub to destroy the pacific fleet. Of course subject to installation of the engine.

The one thing that may happen, and I hope not. The US will impost tariffs on Thailand. The Thai government will start a scathing attack on the US because if it.  All visas will be canceled. Including retirement visas, tourist visas, All. If not then the anti US sentiment will force retiree's and tourists to leave Thailand as the public outrage will force them out. 

 

It would not take much to whip the Thai citizens into an anti US frenzy. The last time I was there it was heading that way pretty fast anyway.

In a recent diplomatic development, the United States has enacted visa sanctions against several Thai officials involved in the deportation of at least 40 Uyghurs to China. This move stands as a robust response to growing concerns over the Uyghurs' safety upon their return to China, where they face potential imprisonment and severe human rights abuses.

I wonder if Paetongtarn is on the list... that could be awkward.

Perhaps Rubio could next look at a certain country that keeps people in an offshore prison where they have not been charged, have no Constitutional rights; no right to trial, no right to a lawyer.

Then talk about human rights.

Go ahead, Thailand. If China invades, Trump will never help anyway.

 

"If China invades  ..."?  It seems that China has already invaded!!!   Chinese tourists (but really so many Chinese criminals - check the Thai daily press reports), cheap Chinese produce, so many Chinese businesses (as well as China-controlled Chinese-Thai businesses), and soon a high-speed train to move the PLA into Thailand, as well as Chinese military bases in Cambodia and Myanmar.
