You would think people at the national news bureau would be more careful with their editing.

I wonder what the PM will be picking up on his latest shopping trip. Another luxury hotel maybe?

Geeze is everybody singing from the same hymn book? The political development part makes me shudder. After reading this link I can see the commonality in all  of this.

I bet you are closer than most think you are. I feel that is why they are keeping the Thai baht artificially high. The baht goes further for their foreign investments.

Exchanging some of the finer points of fascist technique no doubt.

Things are surely at a serious low when Bahrain thinks they can help Thais to manage their 'political development'.

Bahrain is interesting as, on the surface, viewed through the lens of Western human rights SJWs, it's easy to present the Sunni Bahraini royal family as clinging to power by any means necessary.  And they are, of course.

 

What is also true, and willfully ignored/downplayed by the human rights SJWs, is the subtle but open secret that Iran was and is very much behind the movement in Bahrain as an extension of their desire for Shi'ite influence and domination around the Gulf, and elsewhere.  That is why (Sunni) Saudi forces were invited into Bahrain at the outset of this present (on-going) uprising, to help keep a lid on it but moreover, to demonstrate Sunni solidarity in a vivid and forceful way to Iran, its agents in Bahrain, and the coalescing revolutionaries. 

 

The Shias in Bahrain are Bahraini, no doubt, and that's important.  However, there is an undeniable and highly consequential religious, cultural, familial and historical connection to Iran and by extension, its religious leaders and their agendas.   George Bush Jr. virtually handed Iraq to Iran on a silver platter out of selfish ignorance; a common trait shared by young western SJWs. 

 

Bahrain is a small but critical, highly symbolic piece of physical and ideological real estate.  Should it fall, the SJWs will pat themselves on the back and chalk up a victory, then trot off to the next "righteous struggle", as all out sectarian and civil war breaks out in their wake.

There are also a considerable number of Shia living in the eastern province of Saudi, between Kuwait and Qatar which Saudi wants to keep under control too ...

Ratbag govt: no one has anything to learn from them, except techniques of oppression.

 The Thai "Prime Minister" has held a discussion with his Bahraini counterpart after His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa) arrived in Bangkok as a guest of the Royal Thai Government !!!  

 

By "counterpart", are we to assume that Prayut has delusions of even more grandeur?

 

And, by "guest", does it also mean that the "meeting" was paid for by the Thai people?
