And my brother wants to be able to sell all sorts of weapons to both sides if civil war breaks out. And make lots of money

I wonder if they discussed Prada handbags and Burberry boots?

The PM (aka Minister of Defense) has no real idea of the military at all.

"defense industry" LD's dictionary defines: ​People without a conscience who create weapons of mass destruction to kill for the sake of the profit of paranoid governments and whose only interest is its own survival and those of its supporting interests. The term is closely related to fascism and corruption which are the natural concomitants of these gravy sucking pigs.

I want to hear her welcome Mr. Waldemar Skrzypczak.

She can't speak normal things...and this is really difficult.

Why would Thailand ever need to to upgrade their military hardware. Who do they need to protect themselves from; the Burmese, Cambodians, the apposing party? This goes against everything you're supposed to stand for. That's all the world needs; One of the most corrupt countries in the world holding an arms exhibition, and another group of children with weapons of mass destruction!
