Just to remind there is more to the world of politics than the West and Trump.

I was a long time resident of Thailand. People, as per usual led by students, are getting jack of this military government. About due for another coup (Thailand has had 27 odd since WW2).
However, there is a new king now. Thailand always has bloodless coup's with one thing in common; all coup's support the monarchy and it remains. And the monarchy tactically supports the coup's. If another coup happens in these times........

I worry for the Kingdom of Thailand.

Yeah, I'm following it too. You know I'm a former expat in Thailand who wished I'd been able to stay there. Despite its problems i love this country. None of this is a surprise. In the 90s trusting Thais told me that if that dipso dickhead son succeeded his father it would ruin Thailand. They saw it coming. Most wanted the daughter to succeed, but it wasn't possible. King Lunkhead probably thinks the times suit absolute rulars like he wants to be, but Thais are funny people; they are incredibly respectful of authority but can rise up too, like we've seen. Unless the military turn against him -- and he's a creature of the military and their authority-- I don't see good outcomes. Along with economic crisis due to COVID, it's a perfect storm. I worry too.
