  • Obama gets a ‘We told you so’ on premature military withdrawal

    Posted on June 14, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Re-Do

    Every now and then a politician gets a reality check that is 100% opposite of their policy. In the case of a political promise to withdraw from the conflict in Iraq, it seems the overruled Generals did know exactly what they were talking about. Continue reading → Post ID 15104

  • Understanding Thaksin Red Shirt violence

    Posted on December 13, 2013 12:02 am by Richard

    They march in huge mobs citing Democracy and take a sense of pride in doing so. But they have no problems to attack people who have different political views sending them home bloody and bruised. To them that is what they call democracy, but to most everyone else, it is anything but. Continue reading → Post ID 15104

  • Thailand’s best liars Part 1

    Posted on December 29, 2010 12:03 am by Richard

    Anyone who has watched Thai politics will quickly conclude that little of what is said has anything to do with the truth. So seeing that some Thai politicians are so good at it, Connecting the Dots decided to honor them with this entry. Continue reading → Post ID 15104

  • Big brother wants wikiLeaks

    Posted on November 22, 2010 12:01 am by Richard

    In what looks to unfold with all the grace and elegance of a ‘B’ movie, Big brother is clearly trying to plug the leak in a sexual way. For what it is worth, this one is worth watching simply because any fallacy a person may have about governments and how unalike they truly are will quickly be dispelled.

  • Preparing to attack Iran

    Posted on September 29, 2010 12:01 am by Richard

    After hearing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s remarks at the 2010 United Nations General assembly, it is fair to assume that the majority of the countries have moved closer to feeling a preemptive attack on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is the right thing to do. Most certainly spewing arrogant rhetoric has its negative side. Continue reading → Post ID 15104

  • Witness to fanatical behavior

    Posted on September 24, 2010 12:02 am by Richard

    There is hardly a person that has not heard of the fallout from the almost burned Quran (Koran) in Florida. Riots, people dying and more in a variety of places. But this entry is not so much about that, this entry is about people’s reaction to seeing that type of behavior over something that never happened. Continue reading → Post ID 15104

  • US Iraq pullout conflicting opinions

    Posted on August 25, 2010 12:01 am by Richard

    When you listen to all that is being said about the US military pullout of Iraq, and in particular who is saying what, it becomes crystal clear that the decisions were based on politics and not on the truths of the situation. As a result this could very quickly become a very public reality check for US President Barack Obama. Continue reading → Post ID 15104

    Posted on July 28, 2010 12:03 am by Richard

    People running for office no matter where they are often will use whatever trick they can to get elected. But as people became more educated the methods had to evolve beyond using ignorance and fear to get a vote. Continue reading → Post ID 15104

    The time has once again come for Connecting the Dots to visit this topic. And although many months have come and gone, the reality remains the same, and that is what is on paper does not match reality. Continue reading → Post ID 15104

  • Thailand’s acceptance in global community Part 2

    Posted on May 27, 2010 12:02 am by Richard

    As we look deeper we start to see a general concept of right and wrong in the global community of nations. There is a common thread that is loosely based on morals and ethics. If this seems to be lacking in a country, the country comes across as a bit of a bad boy and thus not earning the respect needed to have strings that can be pulled from time to time. In short favors are much harder to come by. Continue reading → Post ID 15104

    Posted on May 26, 2010 12:02 am by Richard

    In the global community of nations, there are some that have few friends, and some that have many. In the case of Thailand, the list of friends is not as long as some would like, and that is evident when it comes to tracking down and nailing down a certain convicted high profile fugitive.

  • Thaksin gets hammered by media for children human shields

    Posted on May 20, 2010 12:01 am by Richard

    Because of the violence and death in Thailand associated with the Red Shirts and ultimately Thaksin, it appears the gloves are off. Hard hitting direct questions from the media is the name of the game, particularly when children human shields are being used. Continue reading → Post ID 15104

    Posted on May 17, 2010 12:01 am by Richard

    Thailand’s political crisis is just that, a crisis. But when looking at the Thai crisis it is very important to remember that the real reasons are not of face value, and that is why dialog will not work. Continue reading → Post ID 15104

  • Looking inside the Red’s heads

    Posted on April 30, 2010 12:01 am by Richard

    From the vantage point of a fly on the wall looking at the events in Bangkok by Thaksin’s Red Shirt protesters, you would have to admit there are some serious questions about the mental states of the Red Shirt leaders. Some of their latest actions are now being driven by their survival instincts. The Red Shirt leaders have clearly realized that they too have followed their convicted fugitive Icon Thaksin Shinawatra past the point of no return. Continue reading → Post ID 15104
