Hooray to the Burmese people, may they bring utter misery to the junta, and the thieves that are controlling Burma, stealing their treasure, and inflicting misery on their people.

 

They are total pigs. The Burmese army is a den of thieves, drug dealers, gem smugglers, human traffickers, serial killers, vote stealers and despot thugs. Billionaires raping the public. General Min Aung Hlaing is the top pig. He says the military will hold an election and hand over power to the winning party. Right. Can't handle the loss, you loser?  

 

“Action must be taken according to the law with effective steps against offences which disturb, prevent and destroy the state’s stability, public safety and the rule of law,” said a statement read by an announcer on state-run MRTV. Total nonsense. They are making up this crap as they go. 

 

The generals previously justified their takeover on the grounds of election fraud, promising to hold new elections. Now, they lost by huge margins. The people said enough. "Hundreds of thousands if not millions of people have been protesting about the coup and Min Aung Hlaing’s response astoundingly seemed to blame the democratically elected government of not being appropriately committed to democracy as one cause for the coup,” Lee said. Funny man. Desperate and weak too. 

 

“He then suggested that the economic environment for investment would be good under the military. Well, if you call billionaire generals good for the economy, well it is at least good for a few hundred idiotic, and ridiculously corrupt and morally bankrupt generals, anyway.

 

When the Burmese army says they are uninterested in politics, that is total BS. They are power hungry thugs. Utter pigs and despots. The pussy, billionaire generals are thieves, robbing the people of their gems, their timber, their minerals and selling heroin for the sake of amassing wealth. And supported by extremist Buddhist monks against the minorities. Broken men. With their recent overthrow, they have self revoked the right to consume oxygen. May the Myanmar youth prevail! May the dinosaurs be pushed out. A pox on their families. A terrorist army.

 

And shame on the morally bankrupt officials and Thai military, for granting that foul, horrific, toxic, obnoxious military, permission to fly over Thai airspace to rescue their ill-gotten billions. 

A discussion on Al Jazeera last night claimed that Min Aing Hlaing was the behind the Pig Butchering scam operations near the Chinese border, that China is very annoyed by the operations, so China cooperated so that the opposition could take over the area to shut down these scams. 

How were they allowed to bring in a truck load of money, did they declare it? 

rhetorical question.

He is as guilty as the night is long. 

Joe Farrari? Boss? Thaksin? Quite a long line up in The Land of Smiles with the corrupt getting off scott free. Needless to say it costs them a lot of money to the other corrupt entities.

You don't deal with passports checks, luggage or customs, if having money to fly private. That is for peasants.

It is so corrupt because most of the countries have dictators at the helm......the curse of humanity and will lead to catastrophe, as we're already seeing with russia.

 

Most of Asia is corrupt, even Singapore. Few exceptions (Japan, South Korea?, Taiwan? ...)

Not to mention the Thais that are involved in the scam centers based in Shan State.

It is completely different, while there is massive corruption here, the military is not out slaughtering tens of thousands of people, raping women in ethnic villages, burning villages to the ground and displacing entire ethnic minorities. It is completely different here, and I'm not a big supporter of this government nor this army, but I would refer to them as a gentle junta in comparison to the Burmese Army, who are absolute pigs.

For corrupt countries you don't need only dictators, even without dictators there are countries who are also corrupt.

I agree, it's a human failing sadly.

The only caveat being, in a country without dictators, you can call out the corruption and not be 'silenced' to live another day......Big difference.
