Myanmar is terminally fucked. Any country that has the military not explicitly subservient to the civilian government is doomed to be coup’d.

I mean they were basically still in power, that pseudo-President didn't ever seem to have the capability to reel in the military.

Meet the new junta, same as the old junta.

Any country that has the military not explicitly subservient to the civilian government

That's every country. You can't just pass a law saying that the military is subservient to the civilian government since the only entity capable of enforcing this law is the military.

The best you can do is the US situation where the military has a very long tradition of keeping neutrality. But eventually it'd have to intervene, and then of course Sulla went back to his cabbages twice but a hundred years later Caesar did not.

Pretty sure Diocletian was the cabbage farmer, not Sulla.

Cincinnatus is an even better example actually, not being an emperor to begin with and stepping down voluntarily. Though for my doomer timeline to make sense he should correspond to George Washington (who voluntarily stepped down after two terms), and then, as I said, should come a Sulla. I assume they all grew cabbages anyway (Washington had a distillery).

It'll always be Burma to me

I'd laugh my ass off if they handed her over to the Hague for the genocide.

This is sexist, if she were a man no one would be accusing them of genocide.

I missed the boat on her time line, someone tldr sukis rise and apparent fall please

Super low effort version is she was a pro democracy advocate won a Nobel peace prize for her work on getting the military in Myanmar to accept a free and fair election and then either ordered or didn't even try to stop the military from committing outright racial cleansing and genocide thus killing the Obama was the worst Nobel peace prize winner ever memes

the Obama was the worst Nobel peace prize winner ever memes

Henry "Helping Bengals become angels" Kissinger got one too

ohh yess now i remember ty

Yeah I was about to say....

Didn't myanmar just recently have a Genocide? Wasn't she in charge during that time?

I mean... The military did it, so I'm assuming things aren't going to get any better, but like.... Damn that place is fucked

Did they take selfies in the capital?

Well after you take over all forms of news and public broadcasting at gunpoint, what else are you going to do with your brand new television cameras?

Not cool, Myanmar Army.

Guess Aung San Suu Kyi didn't give them enough donative, so they are picking a new puppet for themselves.

Unironically this is probably why there weren't already any national guard in DC on the 6th

Because they were in Burma?

this is a conspiracy theory I can get behind

I remember hearing your voice in VC about two years ago. It was nice.

please madame, just a crumb 🀲

haha shut up. seriously please shut up, you're ruining it.

I mean most of the sub is simping for snally, it's not like that guy is alone.

Cringe

You wish you were this brave.

No

The virgin clicking on the bird app link vs the chad agendapost.

What do you mean?

Dude I don’t even think you understand what you’re saying lol

Well obviously he wouldn't send armed guards to take over the capitol when he already had a boomer brigade to do it and not take as much blame

This shit is why I don't understand why dumbass redneck trump supporters actually wanted this shit to happen. I went from mildly amused by them to hating rightoids.

They're bitter since they still think the election was stolen from them or at least they didn't get a proper hearing. Turns out most of the cases of alleged election fraud were not decided on merit but instead refused on procedural grounds (standing, timing (laches), and statutory interpretation).

The neutralpolitics post on the topic was quite interesting since they had both sides debating peacefully which is quite rare on Reddit.

Uh, wow. Not good.

Do they have a qtard equivalent?
