"Tsunami-struck Thailand has been told by the European Commission that it
must buy six A380 Airbus aircraft if it wants to escape the tariffs
against
its fishing industry.
While millions of Europeans are sending aid to Thailand to help its
recovery, trade authorities in Brussels are demanding that Thai Airlines,
its national carrier, pays £1.3 billion to buy its double-decker
aircraft."
You'd be wise to do better than 'inform' yourself from an American
'Neolibertarian community portal' (their description, not mine!).
Coming from the fascist EU that's rich!!!
Wonderful. That old trick. Anyone who has another opinion, does things
in a different way, disagrees with you, just call them a fascist. Did
you learn that from your comrades at your local neolibertarian
community portal? Clearly they've given you the basic training, but
you really need something a little more sophisticated than that before
you should be let loose.
You'd be wise to learn to read since the point is the TIMING.
Ah yes, the timing. The trade dispute between the EU and Thailand has
been going on for quite some time now, but you didn't see fit to
mention it earlier. The Thai government's attempts to link the dispute
with their national airline's order for some aircraft started some
time ago, but you didn't see fit to mention it then. No, you
opportunistically picked your moment after the natural disaster in
Asia on 26 December, simply so that you could embellish your factually
incorrect propaganda with the starting phrase: 'Tsunami-struck
Thailand'.
Why are you so supportive of the Thai government's interventionist
policies anyway? The last thing Thai Airways needs right now is
government interfering in its operations. It needs to be left to make
commercial decisions to compete in its markets, yet you are supporting
the government's outrageous attempts to bribe it's way through a trade
dispute at the risk of damaging Thai Airways. Is this government
interventiionist policy one that you adhere to generally? Is it
something you learned at your neolibertarian community portal? Maybe
you need to go and get a ruling from the neolibertarian politburo on
that.
Out of interest, as you are such a concerned citizen when it comes to
supporting the Thai shrimping industry, would you like to tell us some
of the active measures you have taken to fight the 97% tariffs imposed
by the US?
Oh, and why are you so supportive of the shrimping industry in Asia?
An industry that is surrounded in controversy with criticism of it's
abuse of people and the environment. As you took so much trouble to
bring this matter to our attention, you must surely be aware of the
forced removal of people from their land by the shrimping companies,
and the destruction of ecologically important mangrove swamps. Of
course you will also be aware that human rights and environmental
groups are actively fighting these abuses, but I suppose you would
just consider them fascists to.
The
melodramatic start to your quote indicates the level they work on, and
my how they twist reality.

"Thai Airways had been proceeding towards buying eight Airbus aircraft for
$2bn.
All seemed to be going smoothly until the country's Prime Minister Thaksin
Shinawatra intervened to allege that discrimination by the European Union
against Thai imports of sea food and poultry was a problem.
Until the EU changed its way, he indicated, Thailand would be loathe to buy
aircraft from Airbus."
Take your EU fascist/statist crap and shove it up your ass.
Ah, personal abuse. A sure sign of someone floundering. I know it's
difficult. You found a piece of factually incorrect, but melodramatic
propaganda on one of your favourite neolibertarian community portals.
You pasted it here, hoping a few people who don't know any better
would believe it, and that would be the end of it. Thing is you really
need to have some back up, something with a little more depth than
just calling everyone a fascist.
