I'd go one step further and say that every demonstration, protest in front of the Thai embassy, call out by a journalist, MP or major publication further emboldens his stubbornness and fk u attitude. Am not saying that we shouldn't protest, but it is clear he is absolutely determined to hold on for dear life and duck and dive as long as possible to delay the inevitable, and when it does go down he'll want to inflict as much damage as possible.
