Future govts will rule with a gun to their heads

Even if the politicians who were voted in as the elected government were taking money on the side, at least they made the economy much, much better than the current fools, who only know how to lose their temper at every difficult question, use Article 44 to get their way and exhaust the taxpayers’ money to buy Chinese submarines and tanks instead of investing in their own people and infrastructure, all the while writing new songs to sing about their own “goodness”. 
What laws are being enforced now? It is still the same old BS every day. Corruption is still rife. And yet businesses are going from bad to worse, people losing jobs. How do I know? I am also one of those operating a small business here. Though I am doing well, it is really entirely up to myself with no help from this government. I see my neighbours’ businesses going bust every day and it makes me sad for them.

Ha ha ha ... the time has come and passed, and you have stopped it. Many times, General, Sir.

The Nation reports that “he [Deputy PM Prawit] could not give any assurance that a coup would not take place again, as nobody knew what would happen in the future.”
The deputy PM made the remarks in response to growing calls for the military to be reformed, in line with other sectors.
What Prawit is saying: If a civilian government tries to reform the military, then there will be a coup. A coup to end all coups.

And there it is – the eternal Sword of Damocles threatening whoever takes power in the future.

Just to make sure the Thai people don’t ever forget who really holds power over them, no matter the fake democratic mechanisms put into place such as a Constitution and elections.
This is a glimpse at the Deep State that exists outside the sovereignty of the Thai people. And don’t you forget it!
Well said, PM Prayut.
