Berletic really shows his ass with this one. How can he make a video on the Thai military and not mention the constant military coups and extrajudicial killings?
Edit: I just remembered that Thailand was using F-16s and Gripen fighter jets, while Cambodia was going through old Soviet missiles.
He literally talks about that. Power flip-flops between the pro-US billionaire civilian government and the more independent Thai military. Every time the military takes power over the Western-backed billionaires, it's called a coup by Western media.
Obviously neither side is 'good', but I would rather Thailand not become Philippines 2.0. A 'democratic' billionaire-run government taking orders from the USA is not a democracy any more than the Thai military is.
I'm gonna remind people yet again that Brian Berletic wrote for Infowars and took a lot of hard right positions. God he had mid tier analysis on non Asian stuff, but supports the right (who are likely paying him) in Asia.
Comrade, pls listen to left voices before just taking the word of a chud. It's fair to say that neither of us know much about SEA, and the situation is probably more complicated that n00bs like you and me might take it for.
I strongly suspect that the Thai state or military is paying him, and this video just confirms my belief.
Edit: I finally watched the Luna Oi video on this topic, and she contradicts or adds nuance to the topic that Berletic seems to intentionally flatten and oversimplify. Can we please put the view of SEAsians leftists above American chuds?
