» A new generation young people is readying itself to tackle the problems passed on to them by previous generations: the climate emergency, economic inequality and the decomposition of cultural integrity. The spirit of transformation towards sustainability and social justice has not only emerged in Thailand but globally. The willingness to co-create a just and flourishing society in harmony with nature irrespective of the enormous burdens from the past manifests itself in the region as the "Milk Tea Alliance": young people in Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan and now even more strongly in Myanmar, India (farmers' protests supported by youth), and likely to be the case also in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Gunboat diplomacy?

» 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.

» Re: "Cops bend to royalist mob", (Editorial, Nov 13). Sadly, this is what happens when you brainwash people from the cradle to the grave, deny them access to the truth and create an unsustainable cult of personality.
