In short, Secretary Blinken's diplomatic foray in Southeast Asia has fallen short for the time being.

» I refer to news reports on the ongoing debate in parliament of the 2021 national budget bill. As in the past, the military arm takes a large share of the total budget. The PM says the money is needed in case Thailand has to defend itself against its enemies.
