3.5 MILLION in military aid is nothing a drop in the bucket.The damage to U.S Thai relations has a far greater cost.I can not help but think this is that old trick played by America.The last few years Thailand has not been playing ball with the US.They have refused to have U.S drones launched from Thai soil and expansion of U.S bases and just lately they have refused new U.S banking requirements to supply customers details to the government.So now when there is a delicate situation in the country Washington can not wait to stoke the embers of conflict.Western nations need to learn to stay out of it, Thai problem Thai solution.Opinions can be voiced that is what freedom demands but cuts, threats and restrictions only worsen things.Stay out of it or I fear you will create yet another Ukraine, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan or Iraq
