Continuity of Agena: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio Demands Thailand Release "Innocent" Uyghurs, Warns of Terror Attacks Because They Didn't ▪️US "demanded" Thailand not deport Chinese Uyghurs back to China, claiming they're being politically persecuted;
▪️Thailand returned them to China anyway because (1). they violated Thai/Chinese laws, (2). many are suspected criminals/extremists who were on their way to join ISIS/Al Qaeda in Syria & (3). it is none of Washington's business in the first place;
▪️The same US claiming these Uyghurs are innocent victims also issued a security alert for Thailand warning of terrorism it refers to as
"retaliatory attacks," illustrating both Thailand and China's legitimate concerns regarding these suspects and their associates;
▪️In 2015 the Obama administration likewise demanded Thailand allow Uyghurs to travel onward to Turkey & when Thailand refused, months later a deadly terrorist attacked killed 20+ in downtown Bangkok;
▪️US Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues the previous Biden/Obama administrations' practice of interfering in the internal political affairs of other nations and specifically on behalf of violent US proxies used to undermine peace, security, and stability from China to Syria and everywhere in between;
New administration, same old menace.
