Don’t be mistaken. There is no stalemate here. The resistance is gaining ground. Everywhere. The junta is losing control all across the country. Everybody hates them, and they are faced with heavy losses on a daily basis. It’s been 2,5 years of resistance 💪🏽. A whole people against the Military. This is a revolution and they will succeed.
But as usual it is not as simple as that.Russia s involment is one example
That's what they said in Syria early on too...
If they used drone tactics from Ukraine would that affect the lines?
When the whole country hates its government, it will be taken down, it's just a matter of time.
@@systemicthinking maybe, but myanmar is more jungle than flat open land with trenches.
I have so much respect for the rebels! They are risking their lives for their freedom! They are gaining so much ground despite the military's opposition... these brave heroes will make history...
well said
We don't call them rebels. We call them " Resistant Forces " they are all over the country. Most of them are Gen Z. We are so proud of them.
@@notyourtypicalcomment2399 It's the corrupted junta military who rape and kills civillian. The rebels exist only because Junta kills protesters.

I've visited Myanmar which is an absolutely beautiful country. Myanmar people are honest, friendly and helpful. ❤ I hope Myanmar manages to sort things out.. My heart and prayers go out to all Myanmar people! 🙏
"Burma/Myanmar: From Anglo Western Colonialism to Anglo Western boycott/sanction to Anglo Western sponsored civil war.. It never ends." 😔 For honest truths on Myanmar, pls read the informative insightful multi-page comments by 'Ms. Gregoria' at, "Myanmar remains in social and economic crisis since military seized power/BBC News"... It's on KZhead.
@@Aria-cd6dq No doubt that Myanmar is a wonderful country and Myanmar people are amazing. My thoughts and prayers go out to Myanmar people. 🙏 Many thanks for the informative multi-page comments by 'Ms. Gregoria' at, "Myanmar remains in social and economic crisis since military seized power/BBC News".
these are just bots part of a network. they just talk to themselves ignore and report Ms. Georgia, Old Fella, and the rest.
The Anglo West would commit and practice a great many cardinal sins, many of them knowingly, such as centuries-long global; - 'Colonization', - 'Genocide', - 'Slavery', - 'Colonialism', - 'Global Warming', etc which benefits them enormously for centuries worldwide; then they would initiate and take a measure to ban those practices worldwide, and take credit for it.. [Note: Today's global warming is caused in large part by nearly two centuries of excessive coal burning, mainly in the West.]
"Speaking of ethnic and religious tragedies Burma/Myanmar facing today, the fact that the world's longest Civil War which is in Myanmar, mainly between Buddhist Burmese and Christian ethnic people was made it possible, prolonged and supported by Anglo Western bloc of USA, UK & Australia, etc while they are using next-door neighbor Thailand (which has a defense treaty with them) as a base camp since in the 1950." In my humble opinion, ethnic refugees & others fleeing the conflict/war in Myanmar are entitled to cross over to Thailand to stay, as well as eligibility to relocate to new places such as the UK,USA, Australia & New Zealand.

It was never that simple. The video completely ignored the part where West sanctioned Myanmar due to Rohingya genocide, and West blamed Ann San Su Kyi for inaction. If the West continue to support the democratic faction the coup won’t happen

Well, the relationship isn't that good. The military junta in control of the government fights rebel forces, made up of Wa and Kokang state. Wa and Kokang state are mandarin chinese people, and as such, the military hates the chinese rebels too. So China and Myanmar are stuck at an impasse where both sides want to move on, while also being unable to do so since the CCP cannot publicly back myanmar in fear of losing support from the chinese rebels in myanmar, and myanmar cannot publicly back the CCP due to chinese rebels being their enemy
Stay strong Myanmar ❤🇲🇲☸️
Myanmar has very complex ethnic issues. It wasn’t a single country before British rule. There were a few small lords or kingdoms in this area before and some area was took from neighbour countries (like Thailand) by British. Those rebel groups are fighting for their own ethnic rights more than democracy. They were also fight against the democratic elected government before. Don’t simply classify military groups as good guy or bad guys or it may create another ISIS or bin Laden.
Not anymore as the ethic groups are working together with student groups which is called PDF. Every Burmese ppl are supporting them in every way that they can from all over the world.. this is in a new era and a new history

As a Burmese I have experienced this
Id love to meet/talk with Burmese natives. But most apps either don’t allow politics. Or don’t have any natives that I’ve met. Anyone have any suggestions? Id just genuinely like to understand/learn. I grew up with an interest in Myanmar, and learning a little bit. I do keep up with news. However, news is rarely accurate, and unbias. And about other nations, watching news sources often made things far more confusing/less accurate even when collecting information from all sides, rather than talking to individuals. Thanks ahead of time.

Fight for the people against the military but don’t forget what happened to the Rohingans. Aung didn’t say anything or denounce their genocide. I hope the new civilian regime will win and will be fair to everyone.
Turns out they too hate the Muslim. Basically the army wants everyone to live in unity while the rebels don't want the Muslims & wants them to be killed or sent to Bangladesh.
If they would be fear they would protest no singel person of that society protested
Once an Indian enlightened master went to visit Myanmar during a more peaceful time and he noted that the Buddha there is beautiful, but not strong enough. He can see and talk to the Buddha there.

Save Myanmar from Thailand.
Save Myanmar
Perhaps the Myanmar Army took their example from the British Military. Read “Burmese Days” by Geo Orwell and the history of his life there.
Not the British military, the core of junta army is influenced by imperial Japanese. Basically fascists. The only difference between them is effectiveness. At least imperial Japanese army managed to take over half of Asia. The junta was losing its own grounds against a makeshift rebel army a year ago. Now the rebel army is better armed so the junta is screwed.
Perhaps there would be more stability and less violence, if it were still under British rule.
@@John1873-- Yep. It could have been way better. The internal conflict in Myanmar is literally since 1948 the year of independence. British left us a game of thrones to play and the corrupted have been winning most of the time.

Myanmar is a name given by military regime. I would prefer calling Burma .

Everyone has agenda. We all want to speak against our enemies and talk about the bad things they are doing. 😔 ខ្ញុំសូមជូនពរដល់ប្រទេសភូមា ឲ្យឆាប់រួចផុតពីសង្គ្រាមមួយនេ ... Peace be with all Myanmar people!
In my very humble opinion, Burma/Myanmar would have been much better off without Anglo British Colonialism. For instance, there's hardly any Muslim, Hindu or Christian there up until Colonialism. It's fair to say that many of these tragedies that nation facing today, such as racial, ethnic and religious conflicts, started with Colonialism.
Speaking of ethnic and religious tragedies Burma facing today, the fact that the world's longest Civil War which is in Myanmar, mainly between Buddhist Burmese and Christian Karen (while Buddhist Karen are largely at peace) was made it possible, prolonged and supported by Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc while they are using next-door neighbor Thailand (which has a defense treaty with them) as a base camp since in the 1950. In my humble opinion, ethnic Karen refugees fleeing the conflict/war in Myanmar are entitled to cross over to Thailand to stay, as well as eligibility to relocate to new places such as the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand.
"Burma.Myanmar: From Anglo Western Colonialism to Anglo Western boycott/sanction to Anglo Western sponsored civil war.. It never ends." 😔
Speaking of the coups in Burma and some others around the world today are totally different from the coups which took place over half a century earlier when newly independent nations, including Burma, just came out of centuries-long Colonialism, bitter and poverty-stricken, turned to a new deal of Social-Democratic system (Socialism/Communism). Today's coups, in most cases, are changes in the political system only, while the economic system is mostly left intact. Like I said, today's coups, in nations such as South Korea, the Philippines & Thailand, in most cases, are changes in the political sector only, while the economic/investment sectors are mostly left intact. So what is this the fact that the West & their Western news media hardly utter a negative word about coups in Asian nations such as South Korea & the Philippines in the past and Thailand today; and yet the West, Western news media and their affiliates hardly have a day goes by without having negative comments & reactions regarding coup in Myanmar. May I ask why are they treating it so differently with Myanmar and most of all, what are they up to, what are their true motives behind all these? Speaking of the USA-led joint annual military exercise in Thailand, which has been under military coup since 2014, and true, last August 2021/22, the largest annual military exercise was held among fully participating nations, USA, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia & Singapore.
@@knowledgeispower8625 "Anglo caused most of the world's problems." - David Cameron, former British Prime Minister Anglo clans practiced centuries-long Slavery; from Caribbean to North & South America, by wiping out millions of indigenous Native people there, by replacing them with millions of slaves brought from Africa, by enslaving them and living off on their blood & sweat for century. Isn't it shocking to learn that Anglo clans invaded nine out of ten nations, all but 22 nations in the whole wide world?! Moreover, Anglo practiced century-long Colonialism in over 50 nations, by living off on their blood & sweat, as well as on those bountiful lands for natural mineral resources, which are essential ingredients for the Industrial Revolution. Anglo still Colonized many parts of the world, including two vast bountiful Continents; North America & Australia Continents. Among the five main Anglo nations of Britain, USA, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, all but Britain were looted from others. Anglo caused centuries-long notorious global, - Slavery, - Colonialism, - Colonization, - World War I, - World War II, and the list goes on. History is written by victors. Anglo Western history books hide their shameful dark past crimes so that they can safely put on a mask to hide their hypocritical images and continue to sell their lies and propaganda of - Democracy, - Freedom, - Human Rights, Free speech/Free press, etc. True, same old lame old Colonialist-turned Capitalist Imperialist trick! UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and some other Western nations are of the same pack of wolves. The UK is the birthplace of wolves. It's all about 'Anglo Western Interests' and 'Anglo Western Hegemony' above all else, by all means and at all costs. That is what it's all about. The rest they couldn't care less, the rest is history.
What a brutal moment
Shame on Myanmar military. How can be cruel on their citizens.
What's happening is no one is helping.
Because Ukraine is more important, no profit from this country for USA or nato
Let's be honest here, if it's not white people, West does not care. Tens of thousands Rohingya Muslims (including infants) murdered by Myanmar military and it barely even made news, meanwhile every single civilian death from Ukraine is reported in main news... It's not hard to put 1 and 1 together
It’s all about the money not humanity just look how many ways governments are killing their people under the name of population control humanity is in the hands of evil
@@emilkaLT5ts a civil war in myanmar, not an invasion like in ukraine.

as a person from myanmar i can confirm this is true😢
There can be nothing to help Myanmar now. It's a country divided, disunited, leaderless and feudal by its own. The junta, proclaiming itself defenders of Myanmar, have only controlled the Irrawaddy Basin. The rest of the nations are run by warlords and fiefdoms, with no one cooperates with the rest. I have witnessed the situation in the Kachin and Shan states before, can easily realise how Myanmar's structure is. The only way for Myanmar is to free itself from the pains it created, either by dismantling the whole institutions and rebuild from zero, or the country must be fragmented like in Yugoslavia.
Today's rebels are tomorrow's dictators.
Over throwing the government through force sounds like a pretty big election irregularity itself.
Only a few people know what really happened and what was going to happen if NLD was allowed to stay in power. It has a lot to do with forming national unity government and fixing 2008 constitution. Some people side with military leaders because of those reasons. And don't forget election fraud is what really happened but no one believe. Welcome from Myanmar, the country of paradox.
Don't call those butchers 'government'
@@willmac5642 He probably means Junta overthrowing Aung government.
Reading these comments has granted us the most profound sense of strength, leaving us with an insatiable longing for further empowerment.
Lesson learned, never give the military access to politics. Indonesia learned about this a long time ago.
Shame to the International communities who are doing nothing at all for the citizens of Myanmar.😢
Myanmar military is back by China and Russia. Which is why even the US won’t step in. Fighting China and Russia basically? No Thanks. If the US has something to gain or a winning war to win, it would be there but other countries don’t even step in. US has gone to Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East, but why not here? The corruption in Myanmar is long and broad. This country never wanted to open up,it’s sad that they may never see peace. I have no doubt it would be a place to visit. I almost did but then the military took over once again
Problem is Myanmar is next to China If any US, British, Japanese or other international soldiers gets involved, this may lead to a Proxy War, or worse the 3rd world war We cant risk giving attention to the enemy's
This is why it called internal conflict or civil war. No other country should be involve on it. Dont worry it will be settled soon like other civil war.
Beautiful country and rich culture but corrupt government. Sad
The final picture of the tank: surely it's not a real person sitting on top?
Don't be rude to the locals! 😏
The PDF has been shown to use 3D printed weapons such as the FGC9 designed by Jstark. Jstark is an advocate of the right to bear arms and has dedicated his life to that goal by designing firearms that can be created by the people. This lead to his arrest and sudden death, the cause of which is said to be a "heart attack". The conflict in Myanmar shows the importance of firearms and the need of people to be vigilant in fighting for their rights and freedoms like Jstark. Thanks to his work PDF fighters have been able to create small arms through 3d printing.

This is probably the first time I've ever heard Junta pronounced "June-tah" and not "Hoon-tah"
It's a British pronunciation. It's also incorrect, as she does, to pronounce it "My- n- mar." The correct pronunciation is "Mee-n-mar. (At least she is not still using "Burma", which was a mispronunciation of "Bammar" (the majority ethnic group in the country) for which the West applied as its name since 1824.

Because of election and politic they killed the innocent people in Myanmar. What a shame
Myanmar is also Like Pakistan where Military have Complete Dominance
The military is just a reflection of the nature of their culture and behavior of people of Myanmar. The soldiers are people of Myanmar. They willingly join the military to follow their bosses. In most countries, people would not join the military if they knew how corrupt the military is. And they will never follow orders to kill their own people.
Where is UN where are the humanitarians ....where is the world peace organizations ...watching
Russia and china are part of them and they are supplying the military with weapons. They are ready to point the finger if America or other nation helps the juntas or intervenes directly. There are already many countries on the UN that believe that Russia and china are saints that are against war, but they themselves provide weapons and Wagner soldiers to so many conflicts and their installed leaders want dictatorship status for themselves

Almost every countries conflict dates back its history to the British involvement.
Yeah, it's almost like it's a habit of the British to poison the chalice before they leave it to the new governments. The India and Pakistan partitions. Hong Kong handover to China. And this...
Not in this case. Burmese were always conquering neighboring lesser states, but it just happened they came in conflict with the British.
Funny how much better all these countries did when the British were involved and they went back to being tribal warzones once the British left.
Obviously Britain needs to come back.
@jasongrundy1717 Had the British kept their promise and gave the minority their independence instand of giving all power to the Burman majority to rule over the minority there wouldn't be this mess
The military put su ki in a corner with the ethnic cleaning of the Rohingya while she was in office. The Rohingya were not supported by much of the Buddhist majority, so Ki did not object t, either out of conviction or she lacked the will and political capital. Either way, her tacit support for the genocide cost her her international reputation, and the military was able to oust her to relatively muted global protest.
Good point
She was pro-genocide and made speeches to that effect. The assumption of anything else is wishful thinking.
@@systemicthinking there was no genocide, its ethnic cleansing. Western media is being biased as always. Rawandan genocide was a real genocide, people these days use the word genocide rather easily but this is not true
The Rohingya are radical Islamists akin to the Taliban or Isis.

Watched a documentary on those conflict. The rebels are so god damn brave. Out gunned in every metric and somehow taking ground using guerrilla tactics. Interesting formsky to cite the military being supported by china/russia... No doubt we will be arming rebels in due course .

I love how westerners always contextualize non western countries via Western intervention. i have a sneaking suspicion that Myanmar has a longer history that still impacts it to this day before the British got there.
Sadly this post colonial mentality is everywhere, the country "started" when it became a colony, before that was a paradise with no history or conflict whatsoever
@@rafael_lana right? 😄😄
Well I mean they had history before the British but nationalism is a European invention that was exported during the era of colonialism so both sides brought up are kind of right.
@@jamesn0va People have always been conscious of their ethnicity since ancient times. They knew what their culture is and who their ancestors were. Ethnic conflicts existed way before European nationalism.
That is a fair observation, but it is also true that intervention usually radically modifies the institutions and even the education of a whole generation or two, so that the post-colonization state is almost unrecognisable when compared to the original state of the country (that usually was one or many kingdoms originally). Same with India.
The powerful eastern nations should influence and promote peace there.
