…This is a young government elected not long ago. The prime minister, Prime Minister Yingluck, is the sister of the former president, President Thaksin, who was deposed in a military coup a little over seven years ago…
[As was clear from the Wikileaks documents related to Thai politics, this is about the level of understanding that the U.S. has of Thailand.]
