733: Intermittent Thai protests, royal loyalists vs democrazies. @Michael_Yon, @GordonGChang,
Image: Thai royal palace at Bang Pa-In Michael Yon: @Michael_Yon , East Asia reporter; and Gordon Chang: @GordonGChang, Daily Beast; in re: Thailand protests, clashes cause chaos outside parliament. Pro-democracy vs royalists (Thais call it “demo-crazy,” as they think that it risks mob rule and thereby invites communists.) Thais are like bamboo, will bend over backward not to have a fight. However, in a pinch they fight really well. Instability of constitutional monarchy for 90 years. There are 25 military-appointed senators. www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/17/thailand-protests-clashes-cause-chaos-outside-parliament
