| To: <Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation> Jay From: <Sarabun@mfa.mail.go.th> Subject: Please Interfere in Our Upcoming General Election Security Type: NSST 1.5 Architecture | Secret and Encrypted |
To the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia,
The Socialist Republic of Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs extends this communication to its counterpart Ministry of Foreign Affairs, noting the Russian Federation's continued existence with a note that verges on sympathy.
We must draw attention to one rather obvious omission: the conspicuous absence of Russian meddling in our current cycle of the 2007 Thai General Election. In the spirit of transparency, this lack of activity is profoundly disappointing. The world, including the Thai government, has come to depend on the Russian Federation's well-deserved reputation for uncompromisingly meddling in other countries' internal affairs. Where is the interference? Where is the subversion to which we have become used?
Thai observers kept a close eye on the Russian Federation's steadfast attempts to portray itself as a nation with unrestrained grandeur after the fall of the Soviet Union, a very admirable, if blatantly obvious, act of blinded national pride. But as your administration fails miserably to carry out its assigned role as a geopolitical disruptor, our appreciation for this performance is swiftly diminishing. Are financial difficulties becoming too much? Has the desire for covert intervention vanished along with your national reserves?
Therefore, the Socialist Republic of Thailand must make it clear that interference is to be expected. We await the Russian Federation's signature contribution to our electoral process with patience, but not indefinitely. Take this as a formal invitation to continue the great tradition of your country.
The confederal Thai government kindly offers its assistance if the Russian government is unable to adequately interfere in our affairs, as is your sacred duty due to a lack of resources, whether they be material, human, or even just imagination. We are prepared to offer you whatever is needed to help you get back on track and interfere appropriately. We don't want you to feel completely insignificant on the global scene, so don't be afraid to seek inquiries.
