Royalist and Dictator

Despite the massive protests across Thailand against PM and Military Coup Leader General Prayut - he still refuses to resign or implement constitutional reforms. Many protest leaders and human rights activists were arrested, online news and social media pages which create "misunderstandings" are banned or blocked for national security purposes. Thailand has been taken hostage again by an incompetent and unscrupelous military leader endorsed by King Vajiralongkorn. This PM is in line with similar characters like Duterte, Kim Jong-un, Trump, Bolsonaro, Xi-Jingping, Erdogan and Ortega.
