“The cause of the conflict is the Burmese regime’s failure to resolve problems in the country politically.”

Ambush tactics will work in Burma. They just need more patience.
All ethnic groups should unite and begin ambushing in Naypyidaw, which would be a good "playground" geographically instead of waiting for the junta armies to come into their territories. |

| The Union of Myanmar is just Bamar hegemony over the other races. It can only be called a true union when all parties benefit from the arrangement. Right now only the SPDC benefits from the union. As long as the SPDC refuses to negotiate a real and lasting political settlement then groups like the Kokang and Wa will continue to look for support from their ethnic brethren in China. |

Although it is true that the SPDC took over KNU/KNLA major bases, it would be a stretch to say that the SPDC "defeated" the KNU/KNLA.
Politically, the KNU/KNLA remains firm and strong. Militarily, the "killed in action" ratio between the KNU/KNLA and the SPDC army from January 1 to June 30, 2009 was 1:68.2, and the "wounded in action" ratio was 1:77.4. |

I think the USA and the rest of the ethnic groups should not wait until the junta reinforces and should just go and fight
them now.
That is the only way they will stop them. |

| Does Kokang belongs to Myanmar or China? |

Kokang army officials think only about their benefits. They don't even think about their people. They don't have union spirit. They don't respect the Union of Myanmar.
Instead, they pay respect to Chinese Government. Myanmar is a union of about 135 national races and thus, they should respect other races and keep union solidarity which is essential for our country and our people. |

Junta defeated KNU and Kokang. Which ethnic group is next in the line? Kayah? KIO or KIA or KDA? Chin? SSA North and SSA South? Palong? PLO? UWSA? Mon?
All ethinc armed groups should learn how to play TV games. |

Why did Kokang troops surrender their weapons to the Chinese?
I feel upset with the Burmese government. The Kokang people have Chinese blood. And in China, many people are so angry that they are urging the Chinese government to send troops to help the Kokang, said a Chinese journalist.
That is what is happening in Georgia today.
China cannot afford to lose Burma, at least not yet.
Let's wait what happens when Than Shwe moves on Wa and other ethnic Chinese based rebels up north.
Than Shwe's job is to defend the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Burma at all costs, as it is the obligation of all people born and grew up in Burma.
At this juncture he has only two options.
Gang up with Daw Suu and her people and together defend Burma's territory and sovereignty or bow down to ethnic Chinese proxies and let them have their way until Burma becomes a province of China like it was in 1886 a province of India under British rule.
Than Shwe should know better if he is not stupid. |

Whether you support the present regime in Burma or not, a sovereign country cannot legally tolerate independent armies in their territory.
Khin Nyunt was a fool. He did it to enrich himself. |

| The Uighurs and the Tibetans should also have their own army! |

We did lose the war, but we did't lost our faith. Our people are still supporting us.
Around 200 Burmese soldiers died, but we only lost about 30. Burmese soldiers murdered more than 100 of our local villagers. |
