Too many foreigners here already

I totally disagree with the government's plan to allow the US to use U-Tapao airport as a climate research centre in Asia.

 

The US could very easily set up such a base in Hawaii instead. There is no reason for the US to use our airport. I look at the US’s plan as an attempt to expand its power in Thailand and Southeast Asia. Do we want to see US bases like in Okinawa in Japan? The Japanese government does not have full freedom to exercise its power over the US bases on Japanese soil. 
Have you ever seen the US be really sincere with any country in the world without thinking first of its own benefit? Phi Phi Island, Samui and Pattaya are already occupied by foreigners. Do we want our country to be dominated by the US government like that?
We don’t want to be dominated or colonised by the US under the guise of “scientific and research purposes”.
