Popular Post rijb Posted January 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2014 Who's in this Top 5 officers? Anyone know? Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Well the PM is the defense minister, with vast experience in this field, served in the forces, (school maybe) she has to be present. You cannot leave out a high ranking person. She has proven background on how to run a non corrupt government, and is loved by all. NOT NOT Your first (feeble) attempt at irony and you had to add the 'NOT NOT'. Keep trying. Cheer up.

anon8 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 You talk like Tkaksin and his red team. There will be no coup. Yingluck has to clean up the mess herself. No coup? LOL what do you think is going on right now? Protests are going on right now. You don't think the protests are part of the game, next level of that game is violence on the streets, then tanks on the streets and change of current gov. How do you suppose it would like, is army simply rolls 5 tanks to gov house and kicks her out. Doesn't look good at all, yes? That is why protests are needed. 2006 coup was crude, this time its gonna look much smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrerakiss Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Everything was normal today around Vibahadi Rangsit Road on the way to and from Don Muang airport at 9am. I did see about 20 protestors loping along the pavement, well, walking in a loping style, didn't mean to imply they were running, but they weren't trying to stop traffic or anything like that. The meeting of the top brass may be because they suddenly realized that it's not good PR to attend a party when the capital city is in the grip of mass protests. Or, didn't one of the red shirts allegedly just make some threatening remarks about the children of the top guy? In which case, maybe the meeting is a message of some sort to the tweeter involved. Or maybe they just felt they all needed to be on the same page for the rest of the weeks. The headline may well be written in a more lurid way than actually occurred in reality. Who knows. Personally I'd prefer the military stay on top of things. If events go pear shaped they are the only people who can give any kind of guarantee for my safety 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirat69 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Maybe they are meeting to discuss the low turnout? More absolute <deleted>. If you had watched Bluesky you would have known by 9:30 a.m. that there were millions on the streets in Bangkok. By mid afternoon the numbers were swelled to prove you wrong, so wrong.

Briggsy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Surely not enough excuse yet to stage a coup. Correct, no coup yet. Coups are always preceded by "birthday parties" (where the details are thrashed out) often in fancy dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnxforever Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Surely not enough excuse yet to stage a coup. 555........ I was thinking the same! Getting together to discuss if they should have some people fire into the crowd or toss a few grenades to get the violence going. Have some Dr. "university lecturer" idiot sexually insulting the PM on stage and live TV to provoke an attack? They have to come up with something soon. Time is running out!

Cnxforever Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Maybe they are meeting to discuss the low turnout? Who needs a big turnout when the police are doing NOTHING to stop it. I could get some boy scouts to do the same thing. The ploy is obvious - let it run it's course. They are hoping for a backlash from the public. They are hoping for unseen hands to carry out violence to put protesters off of protesting. Take a look at the pics here. Hardly a low turnout: https://twitter.com/georgebkk Anyone got INDEPENDANT official numbers on todays turnout? The "official" numbers depend on who you ask - anywhere between 5000 - 6 million!

The Judicial Coup is well underway as the old dodderers on there have been around far too long and have no independent thought whatsoever. The Army may have been exposed to some education or free thinking during their training abroad and are starting to wonder if they should be keeping this fossil collection in power. Don't forget also that after the last Coup The EU blockaded the Army's new toys (Germany witheld delivery of armaments needed to suppress farmers basically) and the Americans withheld aid.. Hence, the Dems had to give them an instant vastly inflated anual budget. They have all been wrong footed by Yingluck giving Suthep free reign to shit in his and the elites backyard. Much as they'd love to and it has long been in the blueprints, the Army just have enough braincells more than Suthep, which is enough to realise that this is not a popular uprising at all in the eyes of the world 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaigold Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 My whole family lives about 200 meters from the Victory Monument. My wife and niece just returned and said it was very sanook. Please don't let people blow this whole thing out a proportion. If every country lived as the Thais do, it would be a better world. God bless Thailand ...

The NACC has realized that they can not get it all wrapped up to ban the 308 MP's in time for the February 2nd election so the EC asked for an extension to hold the elections in May. Enough time for the NACC to play their game. Funny thing is why did the EC not simply give an extension to candidate registration at secret locations only known to candidates to avoid the venues being blocked by the demonstrators? Oh yes they have to buy time for the courts and the NACC!! Edited January 13, 2014 by Cnxforever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When army steps in after a day or 2 of serious violence, blood and dead bodys on the streets, army will be seen as a force for good, they will end violence, and change of current gov will seem like something that just needed to be done. 2006 coup was crude and obvious, this time it will be packaged as restoring peace and order.

anon8 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) And of course restoring order in civilian conficts and riots is job of police, not army. When did you see army putting end to street riots in any democracy? Here ofc we dont have democracy. The reason police cant be used to restore order, most are her supporters, espically lower ranks. For some reason you used a word 'treason', in a topic about politics of Thailand. There is no such word in Thai dictionary. In any country of Western democracy, you would be correct using this term.
