    1. They cant, government took their guns long ago.
      This is why our US founding fathers made self defense the 2nd Right we ever had.
      They knew government was going to be our worst enemy

    1. Good idea, then send troops to arrest the military leaders. If democracies just stand by and do nothing but blow hot air, it’s worthless! It’s time for democracies to stand by each other and stop this from happening.

    2. @Tom Nicholson yeah, arrest, cool. what do you think, will they immediately surrender after being shown the arrest warrant?

    3. @Shavkat PANDA Oh no, I don’t expect them to surrender, but arresting officers are allowed to defend themselves, right? Which is more than the democratic citizens of Myanmar are able to do at the moment.

    4. @Shavkat PANDA Time to get some united democratic boots on the ground, similar to what the facists in Europe had to deal with.

  1. Calling on their higher selves, angels & guilds to strengthen the innocent people so they are victorious in Myanmar.

  2. Truth is the deposed government is in the West’s orbit, while the military is in China’s orbit.
    So there’s a conflict of interest between the two, obviously so. 🤔

    1. @Mrs Always Right I don’t know about an increase in Muslim in Myanmar because of colonialism but theres definitely an increase in christianity and Catholicism

    2. @Ole Fella Yugoslavia didn’t collapse because of the west it collapsed much like how Austria-Hungary did and that was because there were so many different cultures in such a small area and the only person who was able to keep them fully United was Tito so when he died it slowly turned into a civil war since there was nobody who could keep them United

    3. Coups in Myanmar and other nations 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 of Socialism/Communism.
      Today’s coups, in nations such as South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, are changes in the political system only, while the economic system is mostly left intact.
      For plain truths, pls read my ‘Ole Fella’ comment at, “Aung San Suu Kyi Exclusive Interview BBC”, https://youtu.be/MFEEmdKbqBE (Just scroll down a couple hundred other comments before you get to my ‘Ole Fella’ comment ).

    4. @Uncle Chinsyou You wrote, “Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization are all evil things done, and benefited by evildoers. Anglo West is a major practitioner of centuries-long global Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization worldwide.”
      Truth hurts, isn’t it? 😔

  3. Damned Military Coup; damned egoic powermongers. The world needs to rally and remove them. Restore the democracy. Condemnation isn’t enough.

    1. @Kennedy Suggs He didn’t ask U.S to come and fight for the people of Myanmar. He urged the whole community to stand up together and take some actions to protect the innocent people. We hope the UN peace keeping troops present would make huge different. Currently, the people of Myanmar are in the hands of military junta. The soldiers and security forces feel free to kill anyone, arrest anyone and torture anyone they like. Therefore, people are frightened and living in constant fear. We expect the UN forces to come and protest us…

    2. @Aye Aye okay so he asked the UN troops to fight, that’s the only way this can end. The military is clearly not gonna just give up and go home. There will be fighting across the country, it’ll be another Vietnam. The Myanmar people need to arm themselves and fight back. Get guns and supplies, mount a real offensive. The UN isn’t gonna do anything anytime soon, look at how long this has been going on. The UN knows it’ll start a war if they go in there, right now it’s all up to the people of Myanmar. He’s calling on the strongest action if needed, that’s war. That’s something countries like the US and UK don’t want to get in.

    3. What’s heartbreaking is they should have seen these atrocities coming from thousands miles away when the military and buddhist leaders perform rohingya genocides, and this stupid Suu Kyi president instead of against injustice, she and his administration and many buddhist civilian supported such atrocities..
      I have no emphaty towards them, they got what they asked for.. This is what happened when you support injustice blindly and bluntly.
      I hope UN wont give them any hand, let this be lesson for them for supporting tens of thousands rohingya killing and rapes. this would open their eyes on how to be better in the future in term of facing injustice in their own backyard

    1. @alex seioo ~ So much ignorance about the UN, either fearing it as some kind of NWO boogeyman, or assigning it powers it does not have, disparaging and dismissive of it when it can’t magically solve all of the world’s problems. Tend to agree with your assessment, but find it somewhat cynical and overly broad. It is easy to feel helpless, fearful, dismissive and cynical. It is much harder to work together to build coalitions of righteous-minded people and nations, to strengthen the UN, so that we may more effectively treat and cure the maladies in the world where they exist, and when and where they should arise. The problems are complex, so we would do well to also keep in mind that there are often no easy answers, no quick, easy solutions. Not to sound like some guru, but the answer ultimately begins with each of us.

    2. @Alex Seioo
      I am so sorry for you that you give up your life and future hope. If everyone thinks like you, then?????

  4. The Rich stay by spending like the poor and investing Non stop,while the poor stay  by spending like the rich and yet not making any investment.

    1. @Bill bryon Smith How can I reach Mr shane mason please?
      Mr shane mason has really made a name for him self
      he has made success in crypto currencies trading easier than we thought

    2. Thanks for his details I just texted him on WhatsAp now
      I hope he responds to me I’m interested to invest in bitcoin especially

  5. Koreans who have experienced military dictatorship and Gwangju massacre are now opposed to the military coup, and need global solidarity and support to become the country they want. Sorry, I pray for Myanmar democracy.

  6. A real hero is someone who steps up when everyone else backs down and is never afraid to do the right thing no matter the consequences🤔

    1. I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 I and my colleagues gave her a try and it has been good returns of our investment, Thanks Expertise lauren

    2. I’ve got 12th winning thanks to Mrs lauren, she’s really the best, I’ve made £16,400 in 18 days working with her

    3. I met Mrs Lauren last year for the first time at a conference in Manchester, I invested £25,000 and traded in one month making close to £143,670

    4. Yes I can believe that, I got victory with her. I was so sad after receiving the first pay knowing I invested so low with fear😓😫

  7. What good is condemning the situation if the UN doesn’t back it up. Unreasonable regimes don’t respond to discussion or suggestions!

  8. People of Myanmar is brave enough!! Unlike China, their resistance will pay off. Chinese don’t even know what the freedom is.
