@Enzo8fan I don’t care where you want to go in the future. Right now you’re a Chelsea player.
Be professional, give everything in the remaining games, and then your future is your choice.
@egoe_ray@HemTuy6358@jxzdmzw An “ally” under military coercion isn’t a willing ally. Thailand was forced into alignment after the Japanese invasion of Thailand that’s constraint, not choice. And if you claim it was a “partnership,” then point to the real benefits Thailand
@egoe_ray@HemTuy6358@jxzdmzw Acknowledging internal wrongdoing doesn’t negate coercion it shows complexity, not contradiction.
We’re arguing with reason, not playing word games.
@egoe_ray@HemTuy6358@jxzdmzw That’s a false dilemma. External coercion and internal agenda can coexist.
Thailand’s alignment after the Japanese invasion of Thailand reflects pressure from Japan, while the regime under Plaek Phibunsongkhram pursued its own nationalist policies domestically.
@egoe_ray@HemTuy6358@jxzdmzw Framing it as Thailand “pleasing Japan” oversimplifies the situation. “Pan-Thaiism” and ultra-nationalist policies weren’t created by Japan they were already part of internal state-building efforts before and during the war. -1/2
@egoe_ray@jxzdmzw I’m sorry for being part of the pain in your history. But you have to understand We were forced. Otherwise, we might have ended up like Nanjing.
@egoe_ray@jxzdmzw These things really happened. I’m not expecting you to take responsibility for anything you don’t even have to apologize. But you do have to admit that it actually happened.
@egoe_ray@jxzdmzw Your troops to shoot at us in Chumphon!!!!!
So we had no choice but to give in to you
Otherwise we would’ve ended up like other countries.
@egoe_ray@jxzdmzw Ally is a convenient label when you ignore invasion, coercion, and civilian suffering. Thailand didn’t welcome Japan.
Japan forced its way in. Learn the history before simplifying it.
