And that’s how we know the Myanmar military is the good guy (as far as there are ‘good guys’) in all this!

The old adage "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" isn't exactly true. During WWII the USSR was a U.S. ally. Roosevelt and our news outlets referred to Stalin with the affable term "Uncle Joe". The truth was that Stalin was a murderous monster before and after the war. We used the USSR just as they used us. Friends? – not by a long shot. The "Uncle Joe” moniker was dropped after the war and our pro-USSR propaganda was replaced with the reality that the communist USSR was our enemy.

Would we call Nazis good guys because they hated communists? Hardly! Myanmar military the good guy? TBD.

I was just going to post: "That's my kind of Military dictatorship"

But decided to read the thread first.
