The truth of the matter is that the Aung San Suu Kyi Government was
democratically elected and it was later debunked by a Military coup.
i know that this provides some dofficulties for the RWNJ masquerading
as RW Libertarians who detest LW politics....IE:
They aw wedged between the liberty (democratic right) of a peoples
to elect their Government and their hatred of LW politics.
That's RW Populism for you....eh?
As Aussies we should support the rights of all peoples to democratically
elect their Government whether that be Right, Left or in between...IMO.
Obviously the US supports the Military Coup; because it is not shy in interfering in the domestic politics
of another country when it suits Uncle Sam's purpose."Post-Cold War[edit]

IMO, the Chinese are also wedged on Myanmar. Do they support Suu KYI who is LW or the Military
to protect China's investments in Myanmay and its strategic location in providing a passageway from
SW China to the Indian Ocean? IMO, its likely having an each way bet because the political future
of Myanmar is unclear.
