Hatred can so easily turn to love… 

The political crisis that now engulfs Thailand has forced me to come out of self-imposed retirement and break my silence. There is a solution to the current stalemate between the Phalang Pracharat and Pheu Thai parties that is so obvious that I am amazed that mightier brains than mine have not thought of it.
Phalang Pracharat and Pheu Thai must join together for the sake of national unity, kiss and make up, and form a coalition government. Yes! Prayut must invite Thaksin to return home to Thailand and share drinks at the Army club in an all-is-forgiven gesture of reconciliation. Thaksin must respond by inviting Prayut to watch the camel races in Dubai. Let forgiveness prevail over vengefulness, and benevolence over belligerence. In the words of Isaiah (I am quoting from memory here), let the lion lie down with the lamb, the shark with the tuna fish, and the wolf with the bunny rabbit. Let the pedestrian lie down with the motorcycle thug and the grasshopper with the monitor lizard. Let the two political giants rule together, as co-premiers in a love fest unequalled since the reunification of Germany. As a sweetener, let them both be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Cynics will jeer that this would be like mixing fire and water; but, properly employed, fire and water can combine to produce hot water, which can be used to make some very fine tea. Scoffers are invited to recall the recent bromance between inveterate foes Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un. One minute they were hurling insults at each other and threatening to blow up the world; the next minute they were cuddling and Trump was proclaiming, “We fell in love.” If Donnie and Kimmie can do it, so can Tu and Tacky. Once they get to know each other, maybe they too will fall in love. 
It would make a good Stephff cartoon.
