Kabula Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Financial sanctions can increase to a breaking point and start wars. History has shown us when the world economy is in retreat the folks who own us always take us to world war. Some say it has already started. I have no opinion on the that.

Popular Post tullynagardy Posted October 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) thats the only thing in commom they are a million miles apart.otherwise,dont see many thais eating grass to survive do you... I`ve never seen a Korean eat grass either come to think of it. Surely it would make you sick? I`ve seen Thais eat insects that look altogether worse than grass however. Anyway I digress. Other similarities - - Military controls tv - Military controls media - TV addresses from the great leader offering advice you would think was satirical if you didn`t know was real. - Freedom of assembly banned - Free speech banned - Thought adjustment camps (admittedly these are alot more harsh in NK) - No free elections - Opposition parties and even thinking banned - Military performances to "return happiness" to the people - Schoolkids reciting hegemony from the great leader in school daily - Restricted Internet access. - Criticism banned of leader. The similarities are very real, and most of the world thinks so too judging by falling tourist numbers.

FangFerang Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 North Korea runs trading companies in Thailand, Hong Kong, Macau and Cambodia, which export North Korean goods - mostly clothing, plastics and minerals...North Korea imports Thai rice... Now, with all that said, does anyone really think the trade will stop at all? Uh, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunna Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 It's good to see a military democracy taking these firm actions against the military dictatorship in North Korea. The military here have never said this was a democracy and in North Korea the government is dominated by the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and has been since North Korea's inception in 1948. At least in Thailand the military want to repair the democracy and reduce corruption and then move towards non vote buying multi-party elections which is a major part of democracy.

No, but the Great Leader has talked of working towards "Thai style" democracy, which is somewhat reminiscent of that wartime German Chancellor the the kiss curl haircut and little moustache describing what his party stood for as National Socialism.

konying Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I thought NK already had nukes ? Not trying to develop it. And secondly , Thailand now imposes sanctions ? Sanctions have been in place for years, does that mean thailand did not impose or abide by the already imposed sanctions? Thirdly , does new PM believe thailand is now in position to voice an opinion? Has something changed for thailand to gain such respect and world recognition ?
