Jab parents first

» Re: "Fresh cases double in young kids", (BP, Feb 26). In fighting Covid-19, ask, "How should we best protect our children?" rather than "Should we jab them or not?" We have limited resources, and should consider both the long- and short-terms.
Weapons fiascos

» Re: “Air force confirms nod for new jets,” (BP, Jan 13). Our military procurement process has led to many fiascos — with no general, admiral, or ACM ever held accountable — and badly needs top-to-bottom reform.

Covert intervention
Oped, Postbag, Published on 01/04/2021
» The denunciation of the Tatmadaw's killing of more than 500 of its own unarmed civilians by world leaders and the defence chiefs of several European and Australian nations are platitudes that are bound to fall on deaf ears.
Gunboat diplomacy?
Oped, Postbag, Published on 03/03/2021
» The situation in Myanmar would seem to present a golden opportunity for a useful bit of gunboat diplomacy. What would be the likely result of an American carrier task force standing off the coast in the Gulf of Martaban or Indian Ocean? Perhaps joined by the new British aircraft carrier and French naval assets. Of course it is out of the question for a foreign invasion on the ground. However the Myanmar military might have cause to think again if faced with the threat of having its assets and installations reduced by air power. Including its small air force and command and control capability.
