I sincerely hope so and agree, of course, that it is a matter of time but it will take many years. We dream of a free Thailand as do most Thais.

 

A Thailand free from military coups and criminals masquerading as politicians. 

 

How wonderful.

Yes I do. The two main differences are that the Red killers are an outlier minority group of extremists amongst millions of peaceful reds whilst the Yellow killers are at the core of the yellow movement; the second different is of course the kill tallies of each group, here Yellows win hands down.

 

A bit of egg on face is a price they'd be willing to pay in order to postpone elections they are sure to lose.

 

I personally believe things will go smoothly because true to form, Thaksin has outsmarted the bozos opposed to him by simply sitting on his arse and waiting them out.

 

 

Yawn. Another new el on the cause.

Judges need police protection. Is that another indication of the coming verdict?

 

Not necessarily. It's perhaps an indication of the previous habit of intimidating judges and their families. Like giving out addresses and phone numbers, throwing excrement and tainted blood at their houses, burning coffins with their photos outside their homes. Just peaceful protests of course.

Indeed. But look on the bright side, for some reason they bother with a bunch of boring, grumpy, opinionated old expats. Even though they keep reminding us our opinions are totally worthless and have absolutely zero influence on anything, they keep springing up, trying to convince us. 

 

Somewhat amusing but Wonder why?

Eric, elected governments don't respect the laws, and have been frequently caught breaking them.

 

Do you think the side with all the tanks and most of the guns would respect any law they didn't like? 

You seem to answer your own questions. 

 

Elected politicians break laws and they are caught and convicted.

Military break laws and simply disregard and not investigated. If they don't like the law, they seized power, set up a phony legislative wing and rubber stamp all laws that benefit them.

Not sure what an el is, nonetheless, I like this post - a lot of honesty here.

Eric, they are caught and convicted AFTER the coup. Without coups, they would go on their merry way plundering the nation while their tame coppers ignore their corruption and even change the definition of the law to protect the guilty.

How true, getting harder to run a mafia / salaried gang of yes men thieves from abroad...

So you have given up on the Dem. Smart. Still counting on  PTP to get elected and change the laws and hopefully the laws will catch up with the thieving generals.

Good try. There are more politicians charged during elected times and convicted than generals in elected and junta governments.

Not much of a reply but that's typical you when you have nothing smart to say.  Have a good day.

But you guys provide us with much humour with your totally worthless and non influential opinions. We just reciprocate. Polite thing to do. Please don' stop.

Not just military governments do that. Zimbabwe, Venezuela and a few African countries elect a populist government. That government then takes corruption to new highs. Only getting them out ain't gonna happen very easily if at all.

 

Cambodia looks to be heading that way too.

Just a question, but are you by any chance suggesting that "Eric Loh" is being paid to post on here? Because that is I understand, a jolly serious infringement of the rules. Perhaps you should report it, straight away, to the moderators you know, along with all the evidence you no doubt have..

55555. Eric can you give me one PTP/TRT/PPP politician charged, let alone convicted, during the course of their government. They are pretty good at going after the opposition, for themselves they try to write amnesties.

 

But wait, I have one for you, you beloved leader Thaksin. Which goes to prove the independence of the courts, not TRT following the law, as he was charged outside their governance.

 

Balance that up with Manas Kongpan, currently serving 27 years for trafficking, and Maj Gen Jaroon Arpha currently being investigated for extortion.

Some of this goes back to the time when Thaksin tried to buy off the judges with lunch boxes stuffed with cash. No sale, so more extreme methods something to provide protection against.

A note to the Thai army;

 

If you are that SCARED of one woman, perhaps it is time to reconsider your actions.

 

 

 

A note to yourself.

 

IF they are scared it won't because of one woman, but of the possibility of clashes on the streets between red shirts and yellow shirts that may result in death or injuries  to both sides and far more importantly, deaths and injuries of innocent Thais caught up in street disturbances.

 

Perhaps you would be happy to see that happen.

 

I certainly wouldn't nor IMHO would many Thais.

Nice try - but the two things aren't measured against each other out of 100.

 

Each will be judged by history according to their own merits. The relationship between Ms, Yingluck and her esteemed brother may well provide for some historical context.

I asked first. Come on Eric, don't be shy! Won't take you long to compile that list.

 

The reality is they only go after the opposition.

 

Be fair, Tharit's unique re-definition of perjury so he could avoid charging Yingluck was the classic example of not going after the side in power. He announced that the day she took office!

Zimbabwe and Venezuela are nationalistic governments which are reasons for their economic meltdown. Hun Sen likely to be ousted in next year election. Lesson will greatly benefit Thailand that the people throw out corrupt government; not the military responsibility.

Oh dear. Mugabe and Maduro nationalists? I think you should check that old fruit. Might find they're socialists although the usual all are equal but we're more equal types.

 

I do hope Hun Sen and his corrupt family get kicked out. But the way he's imprisoning opposition and has placed sons and relatives in the military, I don't think he'll go quietly or hold a fair election. There are indeed lessons to be learned there.

You still reading those old files. Both countries may started as socialist but not now when their economic are going free fall and hyperinflation. The countries are broke BB. Nothing for the people.

 

Both have gone nationalistic by nationalizing foreign assets. Venezuela has been hostile to foreign companies and drove them out. Zimbabwe chased the Indians out. Nationalistic, no?
