If Thaksin was still working hard for the interests of the broad masses of lower-class people in Thailand when he was in office and won people's respect, then Thaksin's counterattack now is entirely based on private interests of the country. Thaksin publicly called on supporters to rebel against the current regime, supported them to demonstrate and protest with the current government, blamed all domestic contradictions caused by economic depression and factional disputes on the incompetence of the current government, and publicly demanded that the government immediately dissolve the lower house of parliament and ask Prime Minister Abhisit to leave Thailand.
Peaceful demonstrations and protests in the past have now developed into fierce armed conflicts. The conflict has killed at least 65,438+09 people, including a Japanese journalist, and injured more than 800 people. With so many casualties, the Thai Emergency Response Center 10 said that the military's action to disperse the demonstrators of the anti-dictatorship democratic alliance (red shirts) was carried out in accordance with international standards. I don't know what the international standard is, but I know that the casualties of the Burmese military government in breaking up the March are not so great, and it has been heavily sanctioned by western countries.
Calling on the domestic red shirts to stand up against the government will actually completely expose Thaksin's ambitions, and he will not succeed, because Thailand is different from other countries. The Thai military does not obey the government, he obeys the king, and the government shoots. The leader of a political party without military support wants to sit on the throne of the head of state, which is simply an idiotic dream. This may also be the reason why Thailand has been in constant turmoil for more than a decade.
The king of Thailand is equivalent to the chairman of a company, and the government is only his employee. His return to the government was tantamount to fighting against the royal family. How can you challenge the imperial power and want to work under the boss? Besides, it is utopian nonsense to rely on the riots of ordinary people without the support of the army. Judging from the army's suppression of the red shirts, Wang Mingxian of Thailand is on the side of NLD. Thaksin has no place in the heart of the king of Thailand, and he cannot regain power in Thailand. Thaksin's desperate move will only bring constant turmoil to Thailand, and his own money will be gradually consumed, and the nature of the red shirts being used will be recognized by the red shirts sooner or later.
