WASHINGTON - The US Commerce Deparrtment is halting exports of most US-made firearms to Thailand and other major markets for 90 days and reviewing its support of the country’s biggest gun trade show to ensure it “does not undermine US policy interests” — steps that could slow two decades of growth of gun sales abroad.

    The new Thai PM is shitting the bed already. The country was so close to true democracy and now there’s this guy shaking hands with Putin instead.

    For context there was just a major election that was basically stolen as winning party was not allowed to form a government on some bs charges claiming PM Pita Limjaroenrat owned shares in a media company. Then of course the 2nd biggest party which is pro military and status quo had no problems getting a government and they are all floppy dick rich people that throw populist bullshit around and never really accomplish anything.

    Fortunately, thais not falling for that shit and just need to hold out 4 more years.
