The last thing one would think is these performers probsably do not have any love what so ever for them. Plainly probably just the opposite. But I am very happy about Milli playing Coachella as is really great thing.

Yeah, sure, whatever you say, Komrade.  Visit any Pharmacy in BKK and ask for a small blue pill to help with your soft power problem.

I'd hazard a guess that Milli is laughing her cute little butt off at this lame attempt by government spokesman to fabricate positive propaganda while concurrently mocking her and the others.   Wonder if she'll let it slide, or live up to her edgy marketing hype by firing a Twitter N-LAW down this shill's neck, then pen another painfully bad rap song to mock him.

This lot in the government would take credit for the sun rising if they thought they could get away with it. How can a former Army General who came to power by rolling tanks and troops, possibly think he can talk about Soft Power. It’s incredible how blind they are to reality. They are nothing more than a bunch of thugs who overthrew an democratically elected government using military force. Soft power? Fu*ks Sake!!
