Methinks this is a ringer ruse to take peoples eyes of the real problems. Who would want to hurt a nice old babbler like Prawit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khon Kaen Dave Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Does he think that he is so much loved that these threats would never come.I think he has a severe case of paranoia.

tifino Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 maybe there is a badge of honour awaiting to be pinned with all the other tin on his tunic, - to display he's a more popular/meaningful/strategic/worthy/easier target than Trump? In his own eyes... well, he's already competing - doing the Trump, and pre-empting a fence along his Sth frontier too who will get it done first?

(There's no need for sarcasm - I don't require any "clues" from you) .... and there was no need to mention "self-imposed" in the context of a Thailand government. Since the government became a constitutional monarchy in 1932, military coups and self-imposed governments are a common way of "doing business". They have their own way of doing things, and in reality, it's not much more messed up that many other countries claiming "democracy". There is no perfect system.

Your answer is what they call in boxing a almost split decision for me. 60% against and $40% for. The above is what I agree with you on. When I look at the above cartoon of Mutt and Jeff with Mutt pointing at Jeff that is where the difference lies. Yes democracy is a failing system but a junta well that is a couple notches down the scale. Everything in life today seems layered and while democracy is no layer cake it is far from the dogma being tossed out by the Bobbsie Twins above. All things are in the eyes of the perceiver and I am not Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a threesome would not be out of the realm of possibility with his pension (if the police chief gets $40,000 a month I wonder how much the esteemed Mr. Prawit gets) . Like the trip to Hawaii I am sure he can stick the taxpayer with the bill somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things never looked so good for Thailand ( for the honest part ) Where as before the slogan was "divide the people and rule", now at least some people want to unify and restore peace and order.... I really want to put a question mark with some posters here on TV... The only question mark is is this a serious statement or sarcasm ? The foul wind off change you mention is just the Thai elite regaining control of the trough. Usurping power from an elected government, without due process and by force is not change for the better.

It may have been a "positive wind of change" in 2014, sadly 3 years later in 2017 it would more politely be referred to as a miasma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 A real man deals with issues like this, and moves on. He is in a position where there are millions of people who hate his guts. Of course there are going to be threats from time to time. Is he really that much of a coward, that he cannot handle an online media rant? Really? Come on now. Buck up. Man up. Behave like a big boy, and show us why you are a general, and not a wimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
