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.”
they’re using 3D printed guns? you talking about Ivan the Troll? isn’t that like saying any money i send to Rwanda is US support?
Yup & Derwood (AP9) and Ivan. Yeah, but I don’t see your personal contribution as any less meaningful than federal money. Every bit helps.
for sure, but where your money goes is not a direct reflection of your government’s policies
