Interesting why 100,000 people feel they can topple a Government governing 60 million people.
Business interruption notwithstanding the instigator of it all is a poor loser, a man with no fiscal responsibility, who ran from justice and uses the word ‘democracy’ as his catch cry.
Will greed have no limits? It is all getting a bit boring now. If this were Thai’s about Thai’s as was the original party, perhaps it would carry some merit. Right now a whole country is turning against this movement and rabble.
Som Num Na.

The outcome of conflict is usually conditioned by status and interest. The dominant group with the advantage in its control of the State apparatus and the Use of Force, not only can evolve opinions favorable to the maintenance of its privileged position, but can, in virtue of its military and economic superiority, easily ignore the working class Red Movement grievances. Seeing the movement of the military forces in the last few days, I recognize that the Thai military runs the country. The three who runs the show are General Surayudh who orders the Special Forces in from Lopburi, General Prem provides protection for Aphisit to stay at the safe house at the 11 Regiment of the king guards, and General Anupong coordinates the military forces throughout Bangkok. It’s already a coup without doing a coup. For this reason, I don’t think they will yield to the Red demands.

Being the dominant group with the advantage in the control of the use of force, I do hope Surayudh, Prem, and Anupong understand the consequences of their actions. I think, it is in the best interest of the country that they response to the Red’s grievances. If they select the action that will maximize their strategic goals and objectives, and completely ignore the Red’s demand, it would lead to a zero-sum game, which would harms Thailand’s national interests both in the short and longer terms.
