Rebels kicking ass with no military assistance from US
“Myanmar rebels fighting the junta say they have seized the last remaining military base in a key border town, dealing the latest significant blow to the country’s military rulers as they struggle to cling to power.
About 200 soldiers abandoned their base in the southeastern town of Myawaddy and have been pushed to the No 2. Friendship Bridge linking Myanmar to Thailand following an attack Wednesday night by Karen resistance fighters, a spokesperson for the Karen National Union told CNN Thursday.
“Officially we (are in) control of the town Myawaddy since last night,” KNU spokesperson Saw Taw Nee said. The loss of the major trading point with Thailand was “a big issue for the military,” he added.”
Agreed. Surprised Israel needs billions to fight against a country hundreds of times poorer than them with over 100K less military troops.
It helps that the Myanmar military seems to have zero interest in fighting for their leadership.
yeah. who would. for Israel, it helps that their military has over 100K more troops than Hamas.
