  • The new Thai PM is shitting the bed already. The country was so close to true democracy and now there’s this guy shaking hands with Putin instead.

    For context there was just a major election that was basically stolen as winning party was not allowed to form a government on some bs charges claiming PM Pita Limjaroenrat owned shares in a media company. Then of course the 2nd biggest party which is pro military and status quo had no problems getting a government and they are all floppy dick rich people that throw populist bullshit around and never really accomplish anything.

    Fortunately, thais not falling for that shit and just need to hold out 4 more years.

    What’s the educated opinion of how could this been handled by Israel? Honest question. (Ignoring the fact that Israel failed with intel)

    To me it seems like Gaza had no intention to get rid of Hamas though at the same time bombing is unnecessary as the culprits can’t really leave other than the secret tunnels to Egypt which can’t really be bombed.

    So the only real alternative is a full Blockade and ultimatum or something? Clearly Gaza doesn’t stand a chance against IDF too so Israel had all of the cards to conjure any response they wanted.

    I’ve tried to Google similar modern scenarios and couldn’t find anything.
