General parallels

re: "Myanmar issue a test for the govt" (BP, editorial, May 16, 2021)

 
Dear editor,

When it overthrew both the supreme law of their nation and the popular, democratically elected government of the people, the out-of-control Myanmar military proved itself the enemy of the people that it is has for months now been assaulting both with weapons of war and unjust law made up for that corrupt purpose.

Does the Post's editor see not manifest parallels but significant differences between the respective self-serving, self-enriching and self-adulating sacred ones of Myanmar and Thailand? Does the Post's editor seriously expect so morally amazing a Thai government as that of Prayut Chan-o-ha, who consistently boasts a convicted heroin dealer elevated to high status in his cabinet, to act according to any moral standard other than that set these past seven years?
