Prayut To Be Held Accountable For His Deeds Over Last 9 Years
Respectfully, you are both wrong. Pita/MF/the Democratic Forces have a strong clear mandate, and that mandate will never be stronger than it is now. The goal of the Royalist Conservative Military Faction will be to chip away at that mandate. Now is the time to use it. Ever wonder why the current constitution delays the formal handover of power for several months? It is to allow a Democratic mandate to wane, and to allow the slow chipping away of that mandate by the "Independent" agencies. Do you think Pita and his colleagues are going to be stronger in a year? Two years? If they don't show some backbone now, they will be ground away by faceless bureaucratic entities. Ever wonder why the EC and the Constitutional Court suddenly are interested in Pita's shares? And why there is no immediate decision/ruling? And why a May 13th National Election doesn't hand over power until...August? Later? Ever wonder why the Bangkok Post has daily stories casting doubt on whether Pita will be allowed to rule (hint: it is to put him in his place)? And why perhaps the election might have to be re-run? The Thai people just gave Pita/MF/the Democratic Forces a strong mandate. Use it or lose it. -

Evidently you dont read Fantas posts on the Ukraine thread. He is a massive Putin fan and no matter what atrocities Russia commits he defends them to the hilt. If you are looking for rational and intelligent then you have the wrong guy. -

You are wrong. I hope I wouldn’t have been naive/arrogant enough to allow diplomacy to fail so badly as to reach the final resort of war. The question is not of courage or willpower. It is risk assessment and return on investment. Prayut didn’t get to where he was without substantial support from powerful players already embedded in Thai society. For example, he overthrew a sitting prime minister and later had her convicted in the Supreme Court. That takes far more power than he alone ever held.
