In light of the recent corrupt national election in the USA forgive me if I am not so quick to judge the military in Burma for doing what they did.
I say that because if they were overthrowing an increasingly Marxist regime our media would never tell us about it.
So forgive me if I don’t immediately believe the military is wrong and the protesters are right.
Also, I question the accuracy of the reporting. They sound somewhat like CBS and CNN both of whom are skilled at fabricating news.
Long-term US interests in places like Burma are often best served by doing NOTHING.
Simply maintain commercial and diplomatic relations, and in especially tense conflict zones LIMIT immigrants to the USA. Our deep state likes to do the opposite on both counts.
Is ‘mostly defenseless’ the same as ‘mostly peaceful’ ?
A coverup for violent attacks initiated by the people who were shot?
