    It doesn’t matter. The corrupt Thai government was going to do that whether it was legal or not just as fascists here will do what they want whether legal or not, so they have to be forcibly stopped at the gate. That’s why that constitutional provision is even there.

      Yes, I agree. Unfortunately the old guys are pro at playing that game and Pita just wasn’t there yet.

      I think the old guys do care if their domestic authority appears plausible on the international scene. Otherwise they run into problems .

      But the Thai people have definitely spoken. How serious they feel about it will come out over time, I suppose.
