Nobody knows what's going to happen.

Why not just sit back and enjoy the opera.

  • That has to be the most deluded comment ever posted….hahahahah…..truly naive.

  • To The Nation: You said "Yingluck will be tried and judged while Thailand is under military rule." This is just one issue. The international community sees the military rule as not only illegal, but

In other words operation undercover smuggling has begun????

To The Nation: You said "Yingluck will be tried and judged while Thailand is under military rule."

This is just one issue. The international community sees the military rule as not only illegal, but appalling. The international community does not see where the junta has standing to try anyone for anything. It's not about guilt or innocence.

Additionally it could be argued that the junta is attacking a political opponent.

As for a country being concerned about financial consequences, Western countries don't put money before human rights or democracy and any money will be as a pimple on a butt. If anyone got hurt by financial consequences it would be Thailand.

This statement has nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of Yingluck. The junta simply is seen as illegitimate and won't be supported in any way.

"Western countries don't put money before human rights or democracy" Thanks, I needed a good laugh after a rough day at work!!

A nice illustration from a couple of days ago. Abbot the Australian PM said on national TV in relation to the Australians facing execution in Bali.

" I most sincerely hope the executions do not go ahead but we will not allow this issue to stand in the way of our relationship with Indonesia"

Here's what he said two days ago

"We will be finding ways to make our displeasure felt," Abbott told Australia's Channel Ten on Sunday. "Millions of Australians are feeling sickened by what might be about to happen in Indonesia."

End quote

Today he mentioned we had previously given a billion in support after the tsunami and that our relationship would come into question were the executions go ahead.

Clearly , people here might be selective in thinking countries pander to third world countries when they don't exactly .

Why would the military leaders be banned by Australian government if we respected them?

Do the idiots here think for a second any western country would hand over YS ?

This site is getting so dumbed down its handly worth the effort.

If Taksin had not been allowed to leave there would have been no coup and probably none of the troubles we have now

She will be a thorn in the junta's side if she goes and a bigger one if she stays.

Allowing the impeachment followed by a civil case was a very foolish move.

The junta have allowed her and her brother to dominate the news, again, no idea!

Do you honestly think that she WANTS to be dominating the news at this particular moment in time??

As for Thaksin, it simply shows that he has never been weaker with the disdainful way that Prayut put him down as being an insignificant little man and cowardly fugitive without any relevance to matters any more!!

She should be made an example of to show that corruption simply won't be tolerated - I thought that all of you 'reds' were vehemently against the elites receiving special treatment, so why your change of tune all of a sudden with Yingluck!!!
