'Second stage'.....who does he think he's kidding? Well, the Thai people obviously. If they were educated to question and think for themselves they might not be blinded by the smoke and mirrors presented by whomever is in power; and they might less readily accept the patronising and childish weekly lectures and nonsense like this. If only the Thai people learned in school about the French Revolution, and the Russian Revolution and Civil War, they might see the parallels and realise that it is possible for the social, political, and economic order to change.

1st stage, 2nd stage, 10th stage. Who gives a $hit. These people have taken over by force and the ostensible support of a higher office and they will now not let go. Who'd have thought it - 'greng jai' and 'mai pben rai' have worked for those who have courted them.

Oh ye of little faith - Prayut knows what's best for the country .... because he's doing exactly what the people who own the country (the proverbial 1-tenth of 1%) tell him to do.

Faze too, rejoice when we look at the alternatives, luckily LOS lacks the benefits of Xi Jinping,Obama or Merkel
