I want to see if you actually know what you're talking about

      Lol. I said explain your self. As in show me info. And they did. It doesn't change how I feel cuz I have some actual understanding of the country.

      And I still don't think it's going to lead to what they think it might.

      Peaceful protests are ignored. This will be no different.

      If it gets some of the more hardcore Thais than maybe some Street fighting. Thailand is a country of coups. It's what they do.

          Today's Cia and 1950s cias are very different things. Modern Cia is a joke

              Like I said. Post ww2 Cia compared to now a days is not the same. Both your examples have been fucked with since the 50s

                Uhhhhh we’ve been fucking with the whole world since the 50s. And we view China as our number one threat. Idk what you mean by the cia is not the same. They do all the same shit. They don’t need competent pigs. We have bases everywhere and ops who tell them what to do along with rogue private armies that carry out any mission the cia pays for.

                What the fuck are you talking about, Libya literally had the highest standard of living in Africa until they got color revolution'd during the Obama administration. Syria is in ruins with millions displaced due to a CIA color revolution. What do you mean by the CIA not being what it used to be?

                  They didn't just get color revolution. We led military strikes into Libya. Not some lame hk protest scenario.

                    You can’t be this dense to think the military and cia don’t work in concert with each other. What do you mean by the cia ain’t what it used to be? Like the old grey horse?

                      The Cia isn't able to just Jakarta method people like they used to.

                      Look at Bolivia. Look at Venezuela. Look at Libya. They had to bring actual military campaigns to flip Libya. Look at hk etc etc.

                      What I'm saying is that the Cia just like the rest of America is not what it used to be, it's in decay. Either we are a dying empire with institutions filled with fat old dummies. Or we are still a power house that can destory a nation through soft power moves

                      That's what I'm getting at.

                        And why can’t both be true as you just demonstrated in you argument? It’s full of dip shits with a powerful public and private army.

                        They have all the world’s resources at their peril and still are highly ineffective, but with enough force they can eventually fuck some shit up and if they can’t figure out a way with the cia they’ll just start bombing you and it will always be justified to the people in this country. So yes it’s a failing empire that can destroy a nation through soft power moves. Don’t know when those two became mutually exclusive.
