I would really urge the folks cheering on the military in Myanmar to look into that country's history. Here in the U.S., we know the military is trained to revere freedom and the Constitution, and would only ever get involved in domestic politics as a temporary last resort to PROTECT free and fair elections. That is not at all what the military in Myanmar is like. They ran a brutal, totalitarian communistic dictatorship for 50 years, and have never truly accepted being displaced from power. The fact that they're attacking organizations funded by bad actors doesn't mean they're doing it for good reasons. Myanmar's military is one of the last organizations on earth you should assume is on the side of democracy.
