How do we know whether this protest is funded/orchestrated by the military? or a fascist right wing group - or a conglomorate/mullti national.. How legitimate are they?If any connection can be found then it is an illegal gathering.They would seem to have a vested interest in seizing power again - usually u send a few vans to lock up the ring leaders and a few supporters - What happened this time? why have they not been charged for damage to the tourist industry, stock market which should be illegal by now.How is it they are allowed to cause this much damage without anything yet proven.That is the real scandal. What if a general did stir up trouble - he could have been manipulated by some organisation internal or external- Hope the results of the investigation are transparent and above meddling - because if they are not - all hope is lost.Is Hun Sen saying that the PM has no control over parts of the military? Like he has at the polls ?why wasn't a sideways shuffle employed , a changing of the guard...the military chief should order it - if he doesnt want to - sack him.somehow this is wrong way round ..military officials have monitored the call and leaked it - against protocol - for political advantage- under the premise that international security is at threat- and this tactic has been used before - this is manipulation of the highest order by unknown individuals acting on behalf of whom? Thaksin may have fallen out with Hun Sen - so who is Hun Sen working with now? if its thai military then alarm bells are ringing...If he is going to work with individuals to undermine Thailand - Then the PM could launch a special campain to liberate Cambodia ( or annexe if she likes) and return it to democracy. Put the Generals to work - and they wont have time for political ambitions...it's a bold plan ...but if it works - then send them into Myanmar and get that back under control - Dont let Trump win the Nobel peace prize - lol ...Come on team Thailand , work hand in hand or become ineffective ...military juntas are bad for wealth creation , , prevent business from growing , lowering peoples standards of living - while the elite live like kings .and dont allow fair elections - they are the real villains of the worst form of governments...look at Russia ,Iran china,cambodia , , and myanmar - see any similarities ..apart from the lack of decent House music - ok thats a joke -but if music teaches us to share space - then mods and rockers -taught us that -it is a lifestyle choice at the end of the day- nobody chooses military dicatatorship - so those regimes in existence are illegal. Doesnt a good neighbour help out a neighbour from time to time .Respect soverignty of course - but u know thats the last thing on military minds even though that is their primary function- with no external threats - the military find internal enemies -they just want dominance of all factions - when a proportional representation of different regions might work best...
