US embassy shouldn't overstep the mark
Play
There are monarchist groups and parties in many countries with constitutional monarchies and such groups or parties here likewise have the right to express opinions and protest.
Also, the US has the right, perhaps the obligation, to comment on a case concerning a US citizen.
However, the US recently went too far.
Thais must do what must be done without any outside interference, as the Kingdom of Thailand is not a vassal state.
I would strongly and respectfully suggest that the US embassy issue a retraction of any recent statements made regarding cases here not involving a US citizen.
The US government’s “learning through mistakes” is often simply neither sufficient nor admirable. Rather, it is a nuisance.
