from my sales coverage in Thailand:
"Unconfirmed reports of Army movement, talk of a tank division moving towards BKK. This is normally a precursor to a military coup.
PM Somchai is in Chiang Mai, holding a cabinet meeting and is expected to annouce Sate of Emergency. It's too early to say if we will have a smooth transition. PPP supporters threaten to come on street to fend off coup."
I feel like this is the kind of thing that in the olden days would be delivered by telegram with a "stop" at the end of each sentence and I'd be reading it while knocking back scotch in a humid office in Kuala Lumpur, contemplating this news' impact on our rubber investments in Indochina.
"Talk of a tank division moving towards BKK. This is normally a precursor to a military coup." Isn't that a little hasty? I mean, when a tank division of the Bundeswehr moves towards Berlin I don't assume a military coup, I think it's perfectly normal.
