Thailand takes top place in public views of freedom of speech in the latest Democracy Perception Index. Could seem somewhat surprising, but perhaps if you don't consider that one thing...

How about returning to red coats in combat too to make it even easier for enemy FPV drone operators?

For all those pointing how much they paid in British tax over the decades, remember successive governments not only spent all your money rather than saving it, but took out some nice big loans for you too.

Myanmar junta air strike on gold miners. At least three bodies have been found but an unknown number of others are dead. Same junta as is trying to build credibility after elections widely dismissed as a sham. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

“These attacks have created the strongest near-term unifying impulse the #Gulf has seen in years, because they cut across the region’s basic shared vulnerability: airspace, ports, energy infrastructure, and reliance on uninterrupted trade flows. I would describe the emerging unity as operational rather than political,” said @andreas_krieg, a Lecturer at King’s College London.

U.S. allies in Europe did not criticise U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran and even Tehran's friends are so far just urging a return to diplomacy newsweek.com/world-reaction-…

Sudan remains one of the world’s gravest crises.
Ceasefires matter, but lasting peace needs locally led solutions.
@UNDP empowers communities to lead their own recovery & rebuild trust.
That’s how crisis response becomes durable.

Among the new parliamentarians after Myanmar's military-controlled election: former police brig-gen Tin Ko Ko, who entrapped our Reuters colleagues in 2017 by planting secret documents on them in a bid to stop reporting on atrocities against the Rohingya. burma.irrawaddy.com/news/202…

A lot of work on this investigation but it doesn’t seem to find significant fault with @FrontierMM’s published articles. Guess it also serves junta interest when Myanmar’s media turn on each other

So Thailand's more progressive forces appear to have been outplayed on multiple fronts. Could that ever change or does the system make it impossible?

After 85% of the ballots have been counted, it is clear that Bhumjaithai has won the 2026 general election. With around 200 seats, the party will almost certainly form a coalition government with Thammanat’s Kla Tham Party, which has secured about 60 seats, as the two are allies.
To build a strong government, Bhumjaithai may also need the Pheu Thai Party, which has won roughly 80 seats, though this will depend on political negotiations in the coming weeks.
The opposition is expected to include the People’s Party with around 110 seats and the Democrat Party with about 20 seats.

Five bitter years in Myanmar: tens of thousands of people killed, countless villages burned and livelihoods wrecked since the junta seized power. From daily protests to jungle warfare, the resistance goes on even if the world looks elsewhere. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
