I was talking to a Thai girl about this and specifically Thalsin Shinawatras "war on drugs" in Thailand a few years ago.
The liberal Uk media described it as an excuse for Thai Police to shoot thousands of young Muslim men on the south of Thailand for no good reason.
Her opinion is that the Thai Drug trade was dealt a hammer blow and has never recovered. She reckons it's a sign of how smart Shinawatra was. Unfortunately he was also overtly corrupt which led to him being driven from office.
Like the sound of this Dutarte guy. Easy to say I guess when it's not happening in my country.
All those drugs don't get in without someone up North knowing about it and profiting and I don't think they dissappeared, so what good did it do?
