"We don't interfere with internal affairs of another country" - CCP Gaslight 101
As if America does not interfere with internal affairs of other countries especially in the Middle East? Hypocrite much?
@@ChiekoGamers America interfering does not change the fact that China is a LIAR, as it clearly interferes with another country's affairs. First it supported Myanmar's Junta, now it supports rebels.
@@ChiekoGamers Yeah, we do, but we're open about it. Sorry, we want other countries to have democracy and not commit human rights violations. You're right, were the hypocrites. Where are the bad guys 😂😂😂 And you have no right to speak especially if america gives Your country money or protects you with our military. Unless you're an Enemy in which case your opinion doesn't matter
I would rather have the CCP interfering, than the likes of the USA! At least, the CCP doesn’t initiate wars or the total collapse of government, or worse the country itself. Cough Iraq cough.
@@drewwar9344Ah yes, when the Bush administration invaded Iraq, what became of your so called democracy? It became redundant, and led to the rise of groups like ISIS, and Kurdish seperatists.
The most insane thing for me was that operation 1027 began the day after a discussion in my school in society class that included a brief portion about Myanmar's situation, where a student from Myanmar spoke about her experiences living near the border with Thailand. The news the very next day was like a fireball in the night.
Myanmar is our neighboring country. It is important that there is stability and peace in the country so that the violence doesn't spread over into ours. We already have a few thousand Myanmarese refugees in our country. Best wishes to the people of Myanmar.

in case u forgotten theres a state called Manipur which is part of India which is on fire for since last year , maybe talk about it sometimes. then go act big bro for neighbour.
@@aezakmi3766We have Manipur in our mind and hearts. But this is a video on Myanmar not Manipur. You donot write about France in the question about Germany even though they are near each other. Donot be so vitriolic.. I am also disappointed with howbthe present Govt. Is handling Manipur issue. But this is not the place to take out our anger. Take it out a ballot or on a video which talks about Manipur.
Thanks for the wishes
I was with my family in Mandalay when the Junta took over in 2021! Thank you Simon for highlighting a forgotten people among the international community! I pray for a peaceful outcome and “The Lady” is freed from imprisonment!
Don't have high hopes from 'The Lady', she sold her conscience during the rakhain genocides.
Today I learned that Romanian mercenaries serve in Africa.
Omg I love your song!
Their group should be called The Sons of Scipio
That they can earn more there tjan as "muscle" in Eastern Europe is astonishing and sad.
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred Romanians could ever do

Gonna take some time to do the things we never could
@@franckorphanos2998 I mean, apparently I do have a weird sense of humor...
Its amazing to see the underdogs once more coming out on top. Hopefully this time they can build a proper democratic society and a free people.
Let's hope so. My uncle used to say, 2 Burmese (Myanmar) will form 3 parties.
The problem is if China is backing them who is really the underdog.
We will see how they treat the Rohingya Muslims.
Why does everyone think a democratic society will work for everyone when it clearly does not
The underdog with Chinese support ? Surely they will get a free socity.. lol
I hope Myanmar manages to sort things out. Good-natured people of Myanmar have suffered at no fault of their own for way too long.
Long-live, peace and prosperity to all Myanmar people!
My heart and prayers go out to people of Myanmar!
In my humble opinion, innocent civilians fleeing or caught up in the civil war in Myanmar should be able to relocate and resettle over to the vast resourceful Australia & New Zealand in the Asia-Pacific region.
In fact, around 90% of Australia/New Zealand are completely empty.
Besides, the vast majority of the population in Australia/New Zealand, tens of millions of Europeans were from all over Europe brought in over to the Asia-Pacific region.
Once again, civilians fleeing/caught up in the civil war in Myanmar should be able to relocate and resettle over to the vast resourceful Australia/New Zealand which are mostly empty. True, the vast majority of the population in those countries are Europeans originally from Europe brought in over to the Asia-Pacific.

It's disappointing RUclips threatens to demonetize you for teaching. Sigh
Corporations will always value profits over the dissemination of information, even if that means forcing users to resort to double-plus-ungood style self-censorship.
I'm not sure that he actually would go into detail if youtube let him. He's mostly just referring to how bad the things are and that you're not in the right place to hear them. And yes, demonitization is part of that, but so is decency, custom, and knowing his audience.

this is why we need the 2nd amendment
@@waefawawrgaw2835 unfortunately you seem to forget that first half of said amendment. You see the constitution, shortly after its ratification allowed (via this very amendment) George Washington the legal precedence (one still in effect mind you) to form a force to proceed and put down and insurrection. This legal recourse can be used by the government via this amendment still to this day. It is worth remembering that (assuming you are in the United States) your country is not Syria, Myanmar, Rwanda, Congo, Russia, Belarus, etc... you objectively are doing far better than most per capita and as a whole. It is subjectively you wish to have only the worst opinion of your country, which you are free to do thanks to your first amendment rights.

Oooh unexpected late night/early morning warographics video!
Early evening in Melbourne 😊
Morning in the UK!
early mornin in new york 😂❤
They usually post these types of videos around the night time (or morning for america)
N i c e. I just hope that once the junta falls it doesn't just get replaced with a rebel group that doesn't do democratic elections
Look, anyone taking over who isn't going to benefit the citizens is bad. Junta, PTF, NUG and rebels are all shit
Thank you sir for doing this video. Appreciated by a Myanmar citizen ❤
Informative video as always. Genuinely some of the best summations about all this stuff out there. (Whats with the weird grey filter though?)
I think he fucked up the recording, it looks low res and then they tried top cover it up with a filter... But thats just my guess...
So glad that you do what you do. Very grateful for the pure information.
except the way he pronounce almost everything in asia is so infuriatingly wrong.
Like bro how difficult is it to pronounce "myanmar" instead of "maynmah"
Thanks for the updates Simon. Love all your channels
Great video. Visual examples with different provinces would definitely be appreciated!
I always look forward to the situation room - love this Simondo
This channel is way better than any history or humanities class I ever had growing up
Thank you for the focus on possible outcomes of Myanmar civil war. I did wonder about that topic, and just what kind of future can be expected.
That is exactally the thing all my channel trolls do not think about. I am from Yugoslavia. So I know this story too well.
36:48 "I don't have any other explanations because jihadists don't have planes."
2001 America: Wait, what?!
History will repeat itself because we continue to fund and protect the _Synagogue of Satan_ in the Middle East. European descendants with no genetic or historical claim to that land masquerading as Semites.
Planes they haven't hijacked
War planes.
@@razorburn645TBF, they might have a few civilian planes though. Quite a few conflicts with guerrilla forces involved even had cheap civilian aircraft with rockets attached to them lol

tbh, this is the only channel of Simons i require more and more often..
the rest are chill and fun with some debate involved but these are too important..
Exactally. Nobody talks about what comes after. they just chase clicks with war talk. I also try to show how life is here. That is exactally the thing all my channel trolls do not think about. I am from Yugoslavia. So I know this story too well.
Thank you for covering Myanmar.
Hopefully, the research your team does is dependable, as you certainly sound knowledgeable and are convincing. As with any outlet making assessments goes, it’s great if it is dependable. I do love these productions and believe it is insightful

Love the beard! and the information! keep up the great work
I don't see India being happy with China becoming more powerful.
oh your right it's not just that China is a huge Rival of India
it's that China is also backing India's arch Nemesis Pakistan
Your talented, adequate explaining doesn't need to be accomplished by additional melody, the same as there shouldn't be a distraction away from it 😊 keep up the good work 👍
You should make a playlist with all the situation room content so I can binge world politics
Well done. I like this style of briefing.
I’m an American expat and I live in a Thai village near the Myanmar border. My wife comes from the Karen ethnic group. This video gives a fantastic overview of this conflict next door. Great video!
He does a good job. I shared it on my channel community tab
8:48 was that a Comet? Wow, WW2 vintage
I know this isnt a "axis v allies" style thing, but it really does feel like the world is at war.
war is as constant as change is
Well, Middle East is perpetually at war, African groups have been trying to wipe each other off 5he planet since time began, along with arab tribes. For nice instead of being in the middle of it, the majority of Europe is watching everything around them descend into chaos. My home country is secretly funding all of these wars while not taking care of our people or infrastructure. And I’m living in Scotland watching Ukraine and Russia, with china being sneaky in the background. Yeah. World war. Seems likely ❤
Communist ideology is gone but great power conflict isn't.
We currently have the most conflicts across the world since the end of WWII. Your feeling is very correct.
A Central Powers vs A Triple Entente style thing fits more with the situation tbh
Romanian mercenaries in the Congo?
Did I mishear? If I didn't, that sounds like a story worth expanding.
Thanks for the Situation Room series btw, it fills in a massive gap in coverage from other media. Starting to tune in to this instead of newspapers since they never talk of conflicts outside what the ones they consider interesting, mostly for their impact on internal politics of whatever country they are based on.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out the source of those mercenaries as well.
Yes, around 1,000 Romanian mercenaries, led by a former member of the french foreign legion.
@@derrickthewhite1 Wow, that's unexpected
OECD predicts India will experience high economic growth for the next few years. I hope that is true since it will benefit such a large population.

Although my comments have been critical, this is still very informative and educational. Raising awareness of some issues.
Neha Hiremath, the daughter of Karnataka Congress corporator, Niranjan Hiremath, was stabbed to death with a knife on a university campus by a former student after she allegedly rejected his proposal. The killing has triggered a political row in poll-bound Karnataka, with the ruling Congress claiming ‘a personal angle’ and the Opposition BJP suspecting the case of ‘love jihad’ ---- firstpost

Indian politics was once described to me by an expat that each political party had it's own Kalashnikov factory and gunfights were accepted as part of the election cycle.
That goes hard
Now I really regret not asking my Malayali ex more about the politics of India.
This video is full of misinformation
You are correct. If you are talking about india in the 1950s. But today? Election is more fair than that of america . I voted twice in last american election. And im not even american😂
There are more bullets in USA than the count of voters in India's election.

The Indian National Congress: The Party of Ghandi... where his daughter inherited power.
@@derrickthewhite1Gandhi didnt have any legit daughters. What are you even on about?
@@Hegde- huh, just double checked. Indira Gandhi is the daughter of the first prime Minister of India Nehru, not Mahatma. He is no relation, though they knew each other.
I mixed all of that up. Sorry.
@@derrickthewhite1 Indira had a boyfriend at that time called firoz khan. When it came to marriage,nehru asked him to change his name to 'gandhey' (not 'gandhi'). So that he can use the gandhi sentiment of public to his advantage. Both names have similer spellings in hindi. So the public started calling her indira 'gandhi'. Thats how the name became popular.
Good vid
Thanks you so much for talking about Myanmar again. Am from Myanmar and my future seem very unclear like every other teenagers and adults.
Hi Simon, thank you for raising awareness on the situation in my hometown! If you would like to learn pronunciation of the names of the cities and groups, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Any chance you'll cover the Delhi Ghazipur landfill fire? maybe not on this channel but somewhere?
Shoutout to JStark1809 who’s 3D. Printable FGC-9 was INSTRUMENTAL in the early stages of arming the rebels against the Junta.
25:42 to 26:36 his commentary on ethno nationalist tendencies and how it impacts the culture and the people in that culture can easily foster more extremism, feels like it is a great way to sum up several recent political platforms/candidates across the globe
Maybe because the problems that give rise to such movements are ignored.
In india there hindu ethno nationalist it just western bullshit propaganda spread against india and misprotray of indian politics
@@chrimony As an example, I've seen "Faith Jihad" firsthand in the carribean. When a muslim man's wife of non-muslim heritage decided she was going to become a christian, he was fine with it... until he found out that his muslim employer would fire him if she did.
Its worth finding out the full story and why people are pushing for something in the first place. I'd guess "Faith Jihad" isn't about young men tricking women into marrying them, its about what muslim leaders and employers do when they find out they have leverage on a young women and the difficulty the community has in stopping it.
But the western journalists don't stop to actually look at the issue from both sides, they proclaim "Interfaith Marriage good!" and miss that interfaith marriage only really works when religious freedom is a thing.
That said, that doesn't mean that Modi isn't abusing power.
The beginning of what's going on in India feel very similar to what an elephant themed political party is trying to do in the usa
@@muadeeb ah yes, the elephant themed party is the one starting riots, suppressing journalism and trying to bury opponents in legal charges...
The main similarity is the rise of a charismatic leader, which is alarming, but even there Modi is much farther along.
"on the brink of collapse"
Not to be a dick, but we heard that back in 2011 with Syria's Al Assad yet he is still in power
We hear the word collapse daily. China's about to collapse, Russia, Germany even. What does the word even mean?
We'll see.
Assad was saved by Russia. Is there anyone to save the junta? I don't think they have any strong allies.
True, but that doesn’t mean they’ll still be around and in charge of the whole country either. Even with Assad he still doesn’t actually control all of the territory he used to before the war even now.
Another thing is that Assad had a very strong, consistent backer in Putin’s Russia which actively fought in his behalf in Syria. Unless China changes their mind about the junta again I don’t know who would step in to be the military regime’s backer now.
the misfocused camera bothered me so much, but great content nonetheless!
damn i coulda sworn that at 3:52 he was about to do an ad read
Having a civil war when ww3 might be just around the corner and india and china are right on their border. Myanmar being a country with access to the indian ocean that doesn't require going through the straits of malay. Seems like a very wise move.
Who should stand down in Myanmar, the junta, the urban democracy movement or the tribal militias.
Very true. I can see Myanmar getting bulled over by China or India and no longer existing, and the respective country having another nice port state.
You forgot to mention that the man who was accused of eating beef was later exonerated as the meat was tested and found to be goat.
There was one relative of his as well, there was injured in the process.

Or how about 4 sadhus( in different states) were beaten to death for no reason! Or how about 500k Kashmiri Hindus had to leave Kashmir bcz of islamic t3rrorism, or how about islamic t3rrorist attacking rameshwar cafe? Or how about 7 Kashmiri Hindus got k!lled in Kashmir in just 1 month?
India has more muslims than whole middle east combined. We are happy here. When you have 1.5 billion people, These isolated things are bound to happen. But a muslim in india is more safer than a muslim in america.Or even london.

Lot of donors among the diaspora. And there’s a thriving black market in the region.

@@skullrevenant9573that sounds like foreign money.
Two of my coworkers are refugees from Burma, that's what they call their former country. I have been driving one of them to work the last several months so we have talked about the situation there.

today no gun fire sound can be hear across broader between Myawaddy and thailand maybe they are start to negotiation
and from my point of view Naypyidaw will not easily fall because it was build to be a fortress and the military factory in the south still in the hand of goverment force

China is not the only country directly intervening, Russia is in town on a weekly basis providing a huge majority of arms, and the only country MAL has visited in a foreign delegation.

US said Russia was losing the war in Ukraine and had only had 2 weeks left! This was about 2 years ago.
Us never said this but go head and spread lies
There is no consideration of another player in the region: India. Would India sit idly by while China scoops up Myanmar?
India is fortifying their border with myanmar and ending the free move condition
Yes. India is not good in these 'backdoor diplomacy'
India has warned the Junta multiple times about the refugee problem
My bet is if the generals are threatened in the big cities, China steps in. Not because they love the generals but to train the PLA for taking over urban areas. More of an exercise and to make sure Myanmar never becomes a Democratic country. Remember Myanmar was already a limited democracy and thriving before 2021. The generals took over with tacit approval from Beijing.

What are chances the rebels won't start killing each other if they win?
Zero
The rebels/ ethnic groups only ever fought for full control of their own land (3 major groups in three different states). None are interested in ruling over the entire country.
They have no reason to fight each other.
Small

It feels like liberal democracy is on the decline around the world.
Tbf none of these countries aside from India were liberal democracies in the first place and even India has always been plagued with electoral corruption.
It doesn't just feel like it, experts have noted it's been gradually declining for the past 20 years, and that trend has been speeding up year over year. In most cases, it's liberal democracies collapsing into what's known as illiberal democracy or competitive authoritarianism
It feels like that, because that's what is happening. There has been a concerning spike in conservative nationalist movements around the world.
Because liberal democracies are not stable. They will eventually degrade into something else.
And thats supposed to be bad?

I'd like to extend a apology from my homeland for this fellow's ignorance. Regrettably, I can't deny he's not alone in his views. Myanmar's freedom feels as scarce as it was in Spain during the Inquisition era! But his is right about the civil war.
@@ayehtunohn no apology necessary, friend. One doesn't represent all; just a particularly poor example like we all have in our countries.
@@ayehtunohn Good servile, but do not go thinking you are any better eh?
Myanmar had a democracy movement who looked forward with some optimism not many years ago. Then the junta decided to clamp down again, and the current situation started.
Myanmar has been on and off civil wars since ww2. There is too many different opinions im surprised it hasn't been split the way India has been.
You are rebels until you win, then you are revolutionaries.
#Since day one (Independence from UK) Burma was unable to put into a strong Constitution reflecting ‘Social Values’ listed as:
1. ‘Social Values’ (Equality, Brotherhood Spirit) among multi ‘Ethnic Races’ are not addressed by Army Dictators since day one:
2. Army Dictators (mostly “Burman” Race) behave like they are 'Supreme' towards multi ‘Ethnic Races’ residing in the country:
3. A strong Constitution (Social Contract between Citizens & Govt) to reflect these Social Values does not exist till to date 2024.
# Due lack of such a strong Constitution, conflicts broke out between the Army & multi ‘Ethnic Races’
# Now Army coup (Feb ’21) has caused a huge “Social Upheaval” which has become too hard to fix since it became a war between the total population (all National Races) against the Army.
# Citizens lost trust in the Army, thru reality, that its intention is to grip onto power anyway, anyhow no matter what.
# With this Army’s mindset (using “force” as only option) and Resistance Forces who are determined to close Army’s chapter in Burma - that could end up in a Civil War; that is what happens NOW.
This is like listening to a modern version of early feudal European history
