Exile Thai Government in US Embassy: NOT TRUE
For months now, rumors have been swirling that the United States is helping Thaksin to set up a government in exile inside the US Embassy in Bangkok.
The US does some crazy things -- such as believing we could install a "government in a box" in Afghanistan. (Officials actually called it this for awhile.) Or that through our magnificence, we could make Afghanistan into a democracy within 5-10 years, and women would be free and wearing miniskirts and running for public office.
Today, we might be dumb enough to host a Thaksin government in-exile inside the United States. We truly might be that simple. But we are not feeble enough to host a government in exile inside the Bangkok US Embassy. And besides, how long would it take for Ambassador Kenney to blow the cover with a selfie beside an exile-leader?
There is no Thai-exile government in our Embassy. The US Navy is not going to attack Thailand. The US Army is not going to invade. These are all rubbish rumors.
