The general prime minister said from the start he wanted to take the country back to a simpler time, and events now taking place are the main part of it. Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon, who knows more about staging successful coups d'etat and clutching power than almost anyone in the world, has just done an Orwellianism. It was merely an act of benevolence by the green shirts to stop red shirts and yellow shirts from mayhem and murder. It's also not true or what the general prime minister and the general deputy prime minister said from 2014 until now. To his credit, the prime minister had a strategic goal in 2014, and probably well before that, although he has forbidden Suthep "The Kamnan" Thaugsuban from talking about it.
