Thailand was the first country to break the news of the downfall of Khin Nyunt and his military security apparatus, which was disclosed in Bangkok before any official announcement from Rangoon.

Now Thaksin is in trouble. Military leaders in Rangoon are quietly watching the political crisis that surrounds the Thai prime minister. Although Thaksin can expect no sizable support from Rangoon, it’s still safe to say that the Burmese regime prefers him to any alternative. And after his ill-considered remark downplaying Suu Kyi’s plight, it might be persuaded to believe Thaksin is comparing the Burmese generals’ opposition to his own.
