Sink those submarinesThe burden of responsibility to the public falls on the 72-member House budget committee today. There is a clear reason why the committee should vote to sink the submarines. The navy's claim about deploying submarines in the South China Sea thus sounds far-fetched. Spending 22.5 billion baht of our national budget on submarines to deter non-existent threats does not count as one. The House budget committee must hold the larger national interest at heart and have the courage to sink the submarines.
