| #7 "Somehow I wouldn't be surprised to find a Soros or a Xi behind this." You're 180 out on this one. Big Tu is in Xi's pocket and has been for years. The current Thai govt/junta is taking its cues from the CCP on a wide range of issues - including suppression of legitimate protests. Sadly the Domino Theory is playing out about 60 years after the fact as the PRC sets deep hooks into THA, MMR, KHM, and LAO. |

| #4 Why do I feel skeptical about these "pro" democracy movements? Somehow I wouldn't be surprised to find a Soros or a Xi behind this. |
