Never take democracy for granted holy s***

I hope the US stages a sensible level of public defense for the democratic government. No hawk, but you cant just allow this to happen without trying

Sadly, Republicans are kinda eroding democracy as we speak

That China and Russia keep vetoing so the UN can't do anything bout this horrible situation for the people of Myanmar also says a lot bout those countries (once again)

ahhh i see why u said what you said i’m gonna read up more on this @op

I think these threads of specific events takes a greater skill or knowledge of certain things to a***yze properly, whereas those economic threads everyone feels like they can throw in their two cents and that ideas are all their own and the right ones. Even if those ideas are vastly outdated.

from the UN article ^

So in February the military overthrew the civilian gov and these protests and later the killing of protesters are the result?

Can anybody add more context or is anyone more up on this story who can add to the thread?

this is just a justification for neoconservatism and liberal internationalism

I was thinking applying diplomatic pressure

What would anyone gain from invading Myanmar? Not only is it morally wrong but it would alienate everyone in the region

Holy s***

Daman, even looking at their faces you can tell.. this dude that seized power from the nice lady is an arrogant a******
