In a
surprise, the opposition won the parliamentary elections in Thailand last
week over the party of the military junta that has ruled for the last five
years since taking over in a coup d’etat.
The party of a controversial former Prime Minister won the most
seats. It is hoped that Thailand will
have a peaceful transition back to representative government.
There were
arrests last week by the Socialist dictatorship of the staff of the leader of
the democratic opposition in the national assembly who had invoked a
constitutional provision to proclaim himself president, Juan Guaido. There have been more blackouts and more
protests, which, as usual, were met with violence by the regime. Meanwhile, the Russian
Federation is sending troops to Venezuela . The authoritarian regime of Vladimir Putin
backs fellow authoritarians, especially anti-American ones.
The former
Soviet Defense Minister was convicted in abstentia in a court in Lithuania for his role in the USSR ’s bloody attempt to thwart Lithuania ’s
independence in 1991.
