AS JUDGEMENT DAY for the Supreme Court to rule on the status of Thaksin Shinawatra's frozen assets, worth Bt76 billion, draws near, the fugitive former premier intensifies his campaign to topple the Abhisit government and reclaim political power by any means.Those means and strategies include unrelenting campaigns by the red shirts, pestering Thaksin's adversaries; heckling in the House; and other subversive methods by militia comprising retired military generals, who are practically political soldiers of fortune.
Let's define the current status of Thaksin and his struggle to regain power. In a recent video link for a pep talk to his red shirts, the disgraced billionaire was seen together with two lieutenants - ex-ministers Yongyuth Tiyapairat and Jakrapob Penkair - who are supposed to be the chief strategists in exile.
