Thai at Heart Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Of course no one is asking any politicians who they think Thailand's natural ally should be. Having an apprentkt independent army making this type of arbitraty long term alliance is very dangerous indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inzman Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Get in bed with the devil, be prepared to pay the price. This is going to end very badly for the country and the military. Short sided thinking, but that's the way these people think, no long term strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwyn Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Sad to see Thailand moving in this direction, just take a look at China's allies - countries that others won't touch with a barge pole Well, I wouldn't touch Saudi Arabia with a bargepole. And let's face it - how many wars did China start in the past 50 years? How about these? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwyn Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Petulant child or what!! The fearless leader says publicly he's upset with America having an opinion so asks his neighbour to come out to play!! I wonder how much airtime this is getting in the USA? What a bozo.

Rancid Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 No real surprise. It has been suggested that the US, as it so often does, was manipulating Thai politics thru Taksin. Perhaps that wasn't well received? The Chinese certainly look after their own interests but seem to be less destructive than the way the US goes about it via coups, wars and assassinations. Would seem sensible from the Thais perspective to hedge their bets for when the US finally gets around to China assuming they finalise the problems they started in the Middle East & Russia first.

SinCityGr8One Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Just a matter of time before you see Chinese military based in Thailand to better protect the Junta (not to be confused with Thais people) from both external and internal enemies. This military alliance goes beyond the Junta's "spat" with the USA. It goes to the heart of what is most dear to the Junta - preservation of its power and wealth no matter the cost. Considering the ideology of the atheistic communist Chinese regime, constitutional monarchies and Buddhism are not any more compatible in such as regime than is democracy. This agreement marks a very sad day for Thailand's future as a free nation. Maybe Thailand now should be called "Chailand." Stop being so ridiculous!! The Chinese will not have any military presence in Thailand, that is absurd. It seems to have escaped you that the government is there out of necessity and once their job is complete le: they create the conditions whereby free and fair elections can be held then they will step down and move out of the way. Do you live in Thailand? don't you think that there are enough ethnic Chinese living in Thailand already - I mean, both Abhisit and the Shinawatra clan are Ethnic Chinese, for Christ sake. They have their own Chinese temples all over Thailand and are at the heart of business that drives the Thai economy due to their inherent 'good business' acumen. It is a joyous day for Thailand if the cosy up with the Chinese and kick those no-good Yanks out from poking their nose in where it doesn't belong!! It is America that tries to dictate what THEY want other countries to be like and not China (excepting Hong Kong to a small degree)! Before posting again, try to get a better grasp of the situation. those no good yanks? I take offense to that comment and decided you deserve an Award for that comment.

Don Aleman Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I believe this will be the final move for the US to say " Bye,Bye " to Thailand and that they have been waiting for enough reasons to do this for a very long time. Now, with no American Ambassador seated would be an excellent time and the Grand Embassy can be rented out as a 5 Star Brothel ! They have been a financial anchor around the US taxpayer's necks for decades acting more as a spoiled child. China would be a great partner !

And let's face it - how many wars did China start in the past 50 years? Ah yes, China the beacon of human rights for the rest of the world. Seriously a China apologist in 2015? China don't start wars, they just abuse their own citizens, support dictatorships and bully neighboring countries Give me the US every single day over the Chinese, but if that's your cup of tea then best of luck to you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lungbing Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 It was only during the reign of HM The King's great-grandfather that Siam (as it then was) stopped paying tribute to imperial China. On less evidence than that China seized Tibet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
