All the new military government need to do now is hold an election with massive new numbers of mail in votes (because of corvid), deny election monitors into the counts. Then just deny and refuse any investigation into potential fraud or miss doings by just saying "where is your evidence?"
And jobs a good one, a ligament government we have, anyone who questions it just call them a conspiracy nut job.

We need to invade the place.
A bit of aerial bombardment followed by a full invasion
Time we brought proper democracy to these sort of places
Are you being sarcastic, or do you really think that would work.A bit of aerial bombardment followed by a full invasion

to what extent should we bomb them do you think? should they be warned so people can get out or would it be more effective if they were killed
Obviously military targets. The people are predominantly not our enemy well a few are but most are not so we dont want to go after themThen we help them rebuild and show them how democracy works with inspirational teachings.
Once they learn the ins and outs of consensus politics. The middle ground in politics and even how to make a coalition government work they will be inspired.
Ultimately the people of Burma/Myanmar will suffer but I don't think there is much anyone can do about the situation. China will not allow or at least make a huge fuss if any Western nations were to attempt any kind of military intervention, it just won't happen.
It's interesting to see the contrasting reactions from the Western counties; condemnation and threats of sanctions and that of Burma's neighbours such as China, Cambodia, Thailand; it's an 'internal matter' so nothing more to add.
Aung san suu kyi lost a lot of respect in the West with the treatment of Rohingya and her public support for the military at the time, but I suspect that she had no choice as the military were still (and let's be honest, have always been) in control in the background.
As a more general point, if you are in a minority ethnic group in a country where the majority practice Theravada Buddhism, then history would suggest that minority rights won't be respected and any 'protest' by minorities directed at the said majority will likely result in a brutal response including annihilation.History does not lie.

Western countries don’t seem to mind when it’s a democratic leader they don’t like who is kicked out of power by the Army. We’re quite happy to work with Egypt’s Sisi despite his coup against the Morsi government. We also supported the coup against Evo Morales in Bolivia.
Yes but fortunately the indigenous population don't notice and, if they do, they rarely bear grudges about being tortured, imprisoned, or executed.....paulguitar said:

I wasn't trolling anyone I was just disagreeing with people but apparently that's now Trolling. I thought Trolling was trying to intentionally antagonising people that's what you are doing with your reply.

My wife is Thai, plus two children at Uni in Bangkok. The average Thai does not even know the military has taken over in Myanmar. They could also care less what with the ongoing situation n Thailand itself.It's interesting to see the contrasting reactions from the Western counties; condemnation and threats of sanctions and that of Burma's neighbours such as China, Cambodia, Thailand; it's an 'internal matter' so nothing more to add.

Aung San Suu Kyi locked up will be an embarrassment for the military regime. If they free her she will also be an embarrassment. I predict an outbreak of COVID in the jail where she is held.
Going by history I don't think the military will be too embarrassed that she's in the clink....Unless someone unleashes a withering twitter storm and some disparaging stories on CNN et al.
