MAE SAKOEP, Thailand (AP) — Thai soldiers began sending back some of the thousands of people who have fled a series of airstrikes by the military in neighboring Myanmar, people familiar with the matter said Monday. But Thai officials denied that as the insecurity on the border added a new dimension to an already volatile crisis set off by a coup in Myanmar.

The weekend strikes, which sent ethnic Karen people seeking safety in Thailand, represented another escalation in the violent crackdown by Myanmar’s junta on protests of its Feb. 1 takeover.

“The weekend strikes, which sent ethnic Karen people seeking safety in Thailand”

And why should I care what happens to their ‘Karens’? After all, I wouldn’t care here either.

"The Burma’s military regime seized the bank accounts of the Open Society Foundation (OSF), an organization owned by billionaire financier of leftist groups around the world, George Soros, suspected of interfering in the country’s politics."

Soros and his meddling in countries affairs, even the US House, that ill spent money for our elected may come to an end...we just need some Burmese cojones.

Could this be coming to the USA with a Woke military used against states that resist the Biden Junta.

Burma (Myanmar)does not seem to be that united of a country. Despite the strong grip the military has imposed in the past and trying for now. Karen ethnic forces in part of the country, Shan State (old golden triangle) elsewhere, and maybe others. There maybe enough militia to challenge Burma military should they decide to do so.

Myanmar aircraft carried out three strikes overnight Sunday, according to Dave Eubank, a member of the Free Burma Rangers, a humanitarian relief agency that delivers medical and other assistance to villagers. The strikes severely injured one child but caused no apparent fatalities, he said.

If it was the ‘Karens’, I might have to re-assess my view of the military there.

three strikes, one death and no mention of materials destroyed or by what units involved

usually air strikes have a target and since they make no mention of one, well, wth?

gonna be interesting to watch

I have often wondered the very same thing. Soros is indeed a very durable man.
He must have been a remarkable athlete in his youth, born from solid stock, and also lucky.

Very true. One of these days his luck is finally going to eventually run thin on him.
When one is a teenager the "odds" are great a person makes it to the next morning.
When a person reaches their 90s, one must count his/her lucky stars upon awakening!
