A blog over at The Nation identifies some new (?) coup rumours. It is dramatic stuff. One of the commentators (number 4) even speculates that if there is another coup “Bangkok will turn into a abysmal mechanical war, that could be never won by Thaksin troop”. Is it time to break out the lists of Pre-Cadet Classes 6 and 10? Again? Or do these rumours (and the subsequent denials) have some other purpose?
