Come on, this is the oldest trick in the book. The way to get yourself elected is created a diversion. Create fear and let nature take it's course.

I'm more inclined to believe it's Cambodia attempting to manipulate Thai politics and get the democrats kicked out.

I would agree with this. Probably Taksin has colluded with Hun Sen and there is probably some bigger plan behind it; that is Taksins proxy party gets back in power and thus Thailand and Cambodia can get back to that special relationship they had in Taksins time, which was much more like a business relationship.
And the question is:
which option is better? To have peace even because of"business relationship" with neighbour, especially not so sweet neighbour as Combos are, or to have this now where Thais suffer(also Cambodians?
Which option you would vote for?

What? Clinton didn't take America into Iraq, Bush did.

I agree, nothing good happening, but useful for the present Thai leaders.

This is a ploy governments use to stay in power. They want a conflict because people have a tendency not to change leaders during times of conflict or war. Clinton did the same by jumping into Iraq just before his reelection and then pulled out after after the election. "Tail Wagging the Dog"
Wrong. What Clinton did was jumping in NATO campaign(initiated and led) of 3 months of bombing Serbia, ex Yugoslavia. Not Iraq.

Young Master Step, a reading course may be appropriate for you.

Markaew said 'Clinton did the same by jumping into Iraq', Sausageandmash corrected with 'Clinton didn't take America into Iraq, Bush did.'

Saying 'wrong, Clinton did something else' doesn't make much sense  :ermm:
I understood all, uncle Rubl.
It was said Clinton jumped into Iraq and i said it is not truth as Clinton jumped in pot of Balkan Peninsula, more precisely Serbia and i said what for.
That's all.

One thing is not clear.
During these type of crises, any government in world would intensify diplomatic activities and arranged a series of visits to countries that are possible key to solving the crisis.
Why Prime Minister does not travel in an official visit to any of these key countries.
By the way, I do not remember that from the first moment of his ruling, this PM went to an official visit to any country.
I think since then there was none.
This is unusual even in the absence of crisis.
The crisis of this intensity would imply series of visits to various countries of the Prime Minister.
What is the reason that the PM does not visit any country, even now?
I just remember one canceled visit.
What's going on? Is it fear that might happen to him what happened to previously ousted PM?
