The carrot and the Stick ?
The buying of a politician (carrot) such as the deposed Thaksin Shinawatra and then his puppet sister who in her short time as P.M. managed to acquire a rather hefty fortune in a few bank accounts is not working like it used to. The stick approach has turned into proxies supported by arms, training, and funding for regime change. Hopefully countries are on to the game and have a way of defending against and defeating whoever wants to play that way in the host country's back yard
