Remier Yingluck learned lessons from Russian history ?

[Filipplenoir]

As Thai opposition enters the empty government house and Yingluck is enjoying the sunny HuaHin, I recalled events at my homeland in 1814

Here's what good old Wikipedia in says:

"As Napoleon prepared to enter Moscow he was surprised to have received no delegation from the city. At the approach of a victorious general, the civil authorities customarily presented themselves at the gates of the city with the keys to the city in an attempt to safeguard the population and their property. As nobody received Napoleon he sent his aides into the city, seeking out officials with whom the arrangements for the occupation could be made. When none could be found, it became clear that the Russians had left the city unconditionally.

Upon entering Moscow, the Grande Armée found the city largely abandoned. Fyodor Rostopchin who was the military governor of Moscow, had ordered the city evacuated, including all the city administrators and officials, leaving behind only a few French tutors, foreign shop keepers and those that were the lowest class of society.

The following night the city began to burn in earnest. Fires broke out across the north part of the city, spreading and merging over the next few days. Rostopchin had left a small detachment of police, whom he charged with burning the city to the ground.Houses had been prepared with flammable materials.The city's fire-engines had been dissembled. Fuses were left throughout the city to ignite the fires.

Sitting in the ashes of a ruined city without having received a Russian capitulation and facing Russian operations against his supplies forced Napoleon and his diminished army out of Moscow"

Well, I think some adviser of the man in Dubai did. Mr. Amsterdam?

I doubt that our PM knows who Napoleon is or can tell if Moscow is a country or a city (Recall Country Sydney, state Had Yai, and one more I just forgot...)

The OP has no basis in fact or comparison and the topic is political and designed to inflame and start arguments. So unless the rules have changed I don't see how this will be allowed to run in the general forum.

Why would you try and start a political topic in the general forum? Is it OK now?

I never felt right being a snitch. Besides I would like the OP to understand how I feel. Not only TV but I don't feel the general forum should be a place to discuss (badmouth) the Thai/government politics.

I wondered why a poster would flaunt a well known rule to talk about how Russia and France have been like Thailand.

So LC you don't think the topic is designed to inflame and start arguments? More fun to deride me than discuss the topic eh? Do you ever actually post anything about the topics or do you stick to critiquing posters?

Please limit Thai political discussion to one of the many running in the news forum. Thank you.
