Military Coup in Myanmar

[Tranzoria]

I know you’ve got a hate boner for the US but there’s other players on the world stage dude.

There is no such thing, I'm just saying my free opinion, please don't brand me as an American enemy. I wonder what percent of the world's arms production is produced in the United States.

[Tranzoria]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was, but I don't think so. This kinda coup isn't quite our style.

Are you saying that the United States intervened in the internal affairs of many countries and supported the coups politically and financially, but that the USA was not in the Myanmar coup ?

Are you saying that Russia and China, both clearly closer to Southeast Asia, don't do the exact same thing?

[Adamede]

Yah. The US isn’t the only state have ever overthrown another nations government dude.

Exactly...and guess what two states like to Coup Nations just as much as the US and are close to Southeast Asia...

I am not saying that.

Please explain what you are trying to say in the sentence "This kind of blow is not our style." Would it be the style of a state that has not planned a coup politically and financially before ?

Again, Russia and China.

[Tranzoria]

And....the Junta blocked Twitter.

[Kowani]

And....the Junta blocked Twitter.

Only in the capital, so far

Also, I think they’ve formed a government in exile but it’s still inside the country???

[Insaanistan]

And....the Junta blocked Twitter.

Yeah, no sh*t.

The following Security Council press statement was issued today by Council President Barbara Woodward (United Kingdom):

The members of the Security Council expressed deep concern at the declaration of the state of emergency imposed in Myanmar by the military on 1 February and the arbitrary detention of members of the Government, including State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and President Win Myint and others.

The members of the Security Council reaffirmed their strong commitment to the sovereignty, political independence, territorial integrity and unity of Myanmar.

Not even strongly worded

[Tranzoria]

And....the Junta blocked Twitter.

Yeah, no sh*t.

They actually didn't want to do it, just that the Populace flocked to it after they block Facebook.

When two useless organizations unite, you get another useless organization!
Hoorah...

Economic Analysts warn an Economic Crisis for the already struggling Nation

[Insaanistan]

Yeah, no sh*t.

They actually didn't want to do it, just that the Populace flocked to it after they block Facebook.

That’s why I thought it was obvious.

[ImperialRussia]

Why I don’t see china arm sales

Again, Russia and China.

Must be Russian and Chinese arm sales then so your right

[Tranzoria]

Why I don’t see china arm sales

For context, the two slots who don' have a nation on them are South Korea and, of course, China.

[Tranzoria]

Again, Russia and China.

I doubt they are using international weapons just bought recently, since it's the Military.

Does the military of Myanmar count as fascist? They seem to love tyranny, militarism and ethnic supremacy alot.

[Tranzoria]

Does the military of Myanmar count as fascist? They seem to love tyranny, militarism and ethnic supremacy alot.

Most definitely, they are. They know what the Populace would think of more Communism, so they went far-right instead.

[Kowani]

Does the military of Myanmar count as fascist? They seem to love tyranny, militarism and ethnic supremacy alot.

From my understanding , a lot of their thought is shaped by extreme conservatism, nationalism, and a strong Buddhist social hierarchy.

Also…of course they love militarism. They’re the military

Shocking...

There are militant Buddhists in it, they definitely love militarism considering they are the military, and they’re authoritarian, so you could make the case they might

I wouldn't say that extreme to be Fascist, but more or less an extreme conservative military junta.
