As some factions have been attempting to do for decades, with little results to show - just perpetuates more hardships on the general populations. The greater feature to this scenario is that the overwhelming percentage [as a collective] of the population doesn't wish to be involved [directly/indirectly] in rebellious movements and seemingly, the only manner in which to overthrow these successive and manic Juntas would be by a majority movement of sorts. And then.....besides these passive actions, the opposing para-military revolutionary groups have never really unified for a common cause. Splintering causes don't come together as one. The crux. Overall, the regional and international political bodies - ASEAN and the UN - have shown little interest and display great indifference to the decades long Burmese oligarchy. Rhetorical and weak diplomatic language means nothing, all of which they've granted a green light for the generational Junta to continue on as they always have.

Hmmmm..... Imagine that. Happens every year. Whether it's blessed and sanctioned officially or not. Nature isn't political that we know of.

This has all curiously evolved over the last couple of years....the seemingly regrouping of the Shinawatra circle. If not Thaksin and Yingluck themselves, who will more than likely act as influential figureheads, but more to pointing and promoting Thakky's offspring as future leaders in one capacity or another. Expecting a new political party to be formed and brandishing something along those lines....disassociating with the relations of the old Shinawatra-centric political attachments. The odd irony being of the almost witch hunt atmosphere and forced disbanding, over the years, of the Future Forward and now the Move Forward folks [and all associations] and the reprieve/rise of the once shamed Shinawatras - as the ever patient military sides wait in the shadows. Such speculative theories and scenarios could easily be debated and call out, but wouldn't surprise some if their associated rise from the ashes has great impact on future Thai political discourse. Just an observation.

The Shinawatra's are back. It's official and duly blessed. Just go with it.

Everything you know has it's origins in Asia and other ancient locales.

Awaiting the next election [if there is one]. Should be fun.

It's all most know. Sad.

Real secure guys don't need to design tales of such exploits. Is this an Occidental thing?

Who in part receive their marching orders from a higher influencer. As it's always been. Same as it ever was.

Who's pulling the strings behind the curtain?

In the long of it, would be much wiser for Thailand and ASEAN to require Myanmar into real diplomatic discourse regarding humanitarian/civil change instead of dragging their feet and ignoring the regional crises as they have for decades.

More ways than what might be understood or discussed. Perhaps this was the plan from the elites all along. Oh well.... Could be worse.

Excluding the West. Ever ask yourself as to why? 😉

Scams at every turn.

Yep. The usual and predictable manipulative distractions and misdirection techniques on display. The dumbed down come outta the woodwork.

Indeed. Goes without saying. Though, I'm sure that too many will miss these realities. In most of these like circles.....that's all they know, thrive to keep company with their own kind. I'll pass, thanks.

Whatta pleasant and civilised society....

Evidence or links?

That will require another special permission request. Anyway - does it really matter the PM and all the cronyism associated throughout the criminal governments? i suppose that many are duped into believing that there's a difference between the revolving doors of the oligarchs.

Reflective of much of the world in varying degrees.

Whataboutisms and comparative analysis usually have little impact on contemporary Thai historic platforms. Few, if any, recall all those post events or the even more recent Shinawatra eras. Imagine what might be if the good Thais [or even interested outsiders] were knowledgeable enough to realize that there's never been any such true reforms/changes of the last several decades......and the propped up theatre has continued on the same up to present day. Same stage, different players.

Shouldn't these "students" be concentrating on their studies and whatnot? Just saying....

And the promoted Lakorn Shinawatra continues on. As we have nothing else of real value to pursue.

....and it's quite apparent that these things aren't recognized within the educational systems. The cycles just dig themselves deeper with every passing generation.
