TVGerry Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Oh that's as close to a warning they can give without sounding too combative. Possible coup incoming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubbaJohnny Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Agree it is a pssible outcome and the louder it's denied the more likely as per history. I feel they fear the an election repeatt not to the tatse of their paymasters. In a healthy democracy martial law is a disaster but in a corrupt failed state it may be the only transition to national salvation in th mind of traditionalists who wish to preserve deference tradition and other totems taboo here.Everyone who reflects realizes that huge changes are around the corner and jockeying for position is starting.I hope it will be be peaceful 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtgruen Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Does that mean, our road might actually get worked on, again, if there is another coup? Seems to me, that was the only time, I have seen any road construction, in our neck of the woods 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siampolee Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Now is it in reality a political rift or a rogue political family led by a fugitive from justice causing the majority of the discontent we have just seen publicly manifested ? Truth be known it is a renegade political family and its renegade leader that by their manipulating the political scene that have brought the country to the brink of what could and yet may be a disastrous outbreak of civil disorder which of course may demand the entry of the military to restore civil order. Methinks that the good general is making a public announcement in a genteel fashion to all involved to toe the line so to speak, politically and family wise. The people have made their feelings plain, hence the Thaksin clan along with all of their ilk should listen and step back from the brink and do Thailand and its peoples a favour, depart from the political scene now and remain out of that scene for many years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkspeaker Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) There's not going to be a coup. That statement reaffirms that, if a coup was imminent he would be critical of the governments handling of the protests, instead he just said public officials were showing respect.

I can't see another coup unless the situation degenerates into anarchy and bloodshed. Then all bets are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espinoza Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The Thai people should say sorry to this big general because they are worrying him. He`s not the Thai governments general. He`s his own general for his own army. I wonder what HM the King is thinking about that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
