Sacry, and quite disgraceful. Every day that goes by, some protesters are killed by Myanmar police.
@earl-of-trumps saidSo why aren’t we funnelling some decent arms to the civilian population. It’s getting to the point of no return for the junta, this killing of the innocents will just go on and on until some of the military get killed on the same scale.

@kevcvs57 saidCivilians have claimed that military personnel or police are being killed too, but the Junta controlled media won't publish it.

As far as the US or some other country getting weapons to the people, I don't know how feasible that is.
Surely the Junta controls the air and sea ports. Sneaking them over the border from - say, Bangladesh,
could work but the military of Myanmar would sniff that out eventually.
Not sure what the solution is, but where there's a will, there's a way. [fingers crossed]
@earl-of-trumps saidDry hard to control those meandering borders. Bangladesh would be the obvious entry point but it’s heavily controlled and militarised because if the Rohingya situation.

I’ve heard on air that the UN are starting to get very interested in a peacekeeping role but that could only be done with the agreement of the Junta and we can forget about an interventionist policy coming out of the security council given it’s membership, so no change there.
@philokalia said.
Who is mostly responsible for the climate of fear facing Asians, though?
They are not being attacked by Karens or Chads.
Don't expect a straight answer, or an answer at all because the answer does not lie in the realm of the agenda.
@Philokalia
Phil, please understand that I support you as you suffer the slurs and arrows of an extreme racist in here
that prefers to identify you as WHITE - as if that is how you should be judged, and is critical of you in your treatment
of Chloe Kim, again, as if her ethnicity is supposed to be how we judger her.
The poster is a racist and bigot and has no idea how to address you unless it can PREsuppose your ethnicity.

God save the King!
@earl-of-trumps saidTrying to wrest control of the thread away from a racist and revert it back to the original subject matter
It's getting much worse, my friends. I do worry about full-scale revolution in Myanmar now.
