State Department: Myanmar’s arms supplies could exacerbate the situation

Deliveries of Russian weapons may exacerbate the situation in Myanmar, where clashes between the authorities and Rohingya members continue, reports RIA News State Department spokesman Heather Nauert.

It became known earlier that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu during a recent visit to Myanmar agreed to sell six Su-30 fighters.

Although most countries of the world are committed to a peaceful resolution of the crisis in Myanmar, some of them are ready to take steps that may lead to even greater suffering and instability. This could be an opportunity for Russia to show solidarity (with most countries) through humanitarian assistance, rather than potentially aggravating the situation by selling weapons,

said nawert.

According to her, the United States has long been "not providing assistance to the Myanmar military in operational training and not supplying weapons, technology or military materials."

We want the Myanmar military to take real steps and demonstrate commitment to human rights, national reconciliation and democracy,

added the representative of the State Department.

According to Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin, on Monday, Myanmar will buy Su-6 fighter jets from Russia and is also interested in marine and land equipment. According to him, "Su-30, which in practice proved the fighting qualities of a world-class aircraft," should become the main fighter of the Myanmar Air Force.

The agency recalls that Rohindzha (Rohingya) - "ethnic Bengalis Muslims resettled in the Burmese state of Arakan in the XIX - early XX century by the British colonial authorities." With a total of about one and a half million people, they constitute the majority of the population of Rakhine State, but not all of them have Myanmar citizenship. Officials and Buddhists consider Rohingya to be illegal migrants from Bangladesh. The escalation of the conflict began in 2011-2012 after the transfer of power in Myanmar from military to civilian government.

The supply of arms to Myanmar will not only aggravate the situation in the American military-industrial complex, as I understand it. It’s not they who don’t deliver, it’s they who start sending them from there, together with their democracy.

“We want the Myanmar military to take real steps and demonstrate commitment to human rights, national reconciliation and democracy,
added the representative of the State Department.

What can we talk about further? ... they themselves will figure out how to live.

[Anarchist]

Yourself? How so? Without the USA? Victor, good morning! You can't even go to the toilet without the USA ...
And the armed opposition. Perhaps the exceptional ones themselves support? Otherwise, where is such interest from? Or they wanted to put it by themselves ... Now they’ll definitely support!

[cniza]

Greetings! , they announced (justified) the supply of weapons to the opposition ... they have already said a hundred times that they need conflicts and small wars.

[Anarchist]

I agree, but on this we will earn. If not a loan, then we ask ...

[cniza]

It’s even beneficial to borrow, although the factories will work and people will receive salaries, we have a lot of money without moving.

[Anarchist]

You can’t argue with that! It’s good when people get paid! Even better when the good ...

[cniza]

In the military-industrial complex, it is not even bad, compared to previous years.

[novel66]

but notice! the mess began during the civil administration - during the military order was!

[cniza]

Novel , the mess is primarily in the heads, and the cap on it or the hat is the second question.

[novel66]

Viktor1 that means, contrary to public opinion, there is still more order under the cap

[cniza]

Quote: novel xnumx

Viktor1 that means, contrary to public opinion, there is still more order under the cap

Of course, discipline and responsibility.

[alexmach]

I don’t know. For all the duplicity of the Americans, the massacre in this country has been going on for decades. Is it worth it to supply weapons to such a country? I think this is not the best idea. Another thing is that the tool of this massacre is usually a machete or chopper and not a SU-30.

[vkl.47]

Hypocrisy just rolls over. How to smack a gun Khokhlov is normal and here again concern

[agent]

Kapets, and supplies of non-fallow weapons contribute to peace and stability.

[Same lech]

The competition in the arms market is fierce ... Americans don’t like it when someone takes up the arms market without their knowledge ... the bestial grin of capitalism, so to speak ... here's another irresistible contradiction between the capitalist countries that inevitably leads to a clash between them.

Marx and Lenin are right ... although they have long been gone, their conclusions about the essence of capital are still valid.

[penal battalion]

We all remember well how monopoly capitalism ended with imperial ambitions in 1945.

[-ш-]

then the correct solution was chosen, since these began to moo

[askort154]

They were pressed out of the market - they immediately remembered morality.

[KAV]

Yes noooo. What are you, right? It’s just that our weapons are not democratic, and therefore will not be able to bring democracy with them. Not like their weapons! Here it always and everywhere bears exclusively exclusive democracy!

[Alex-a832]

The supply of Russian weapons to Myanmar undermines the "democratization" processes - they prevent the striped ones from turning this country into another theater of a bloody show with the participation of Islamists.

[Lacoste]

State Department representatives still someone listening? Well, except for their faithful dogs from Ukraine?)

[Mountain shooter]

This is just "unfair competition." A common thing for the "light elves." If they bought their equipment - the intonation would be exactly the opposite ...

[Kent0001]

The main thing that would not be taddy. Current at 100% prepayment. And so let them buy. And their graters in the country are their graters.

[pavelty]

There are no such conditions in the export of arms - 100% prepayment, an advance is paid from 30% and above the rest in stages, as far as I read the foreign exchange contract (in euros)

[rotmistr60]

Russian arms supplies could worsen situation in Myanmar

And the supply of the American, as I understand it, will defuse the situation? They are trying to impose their weapons (not offer) to the whole world and consider this to be natural. And here Russia can snatch a small piece from the United States. Not an order.

[Prisoner]

Well, not a dog? We deliver weapons to the Barmalei, they equip the terrorists and drag on them!

[svp67]

State Department: Myanmar’s arms supplies could exacerbate the situation

Who would doubt it. It is only an AMERICAN weapon in any region that bears PEACE AND THANKS ... well, just like in Iraqi Mosul. Times and SILENCE

[Vladimir K.]

Only sales of American weapons lead to peace - all other weapons only contribute to war !!! It’s useless to argue!

[K-50]

statement by the representative of the State Department: Supplies of Russian weapons may aggravate the situation in Myanmar, where clashes between authorities and representatives of the Rohingya people continue

Because it’s not the FSA that transfers weapons to the government. But if Myanmar asked for a weapon from the Yankens, then everything would be in “openwork”.

[Topotun]

They will certainly aggravate, if this is not an American weapon of course.

[bald]

What a madhouse is going on, everything is everywhere, everything is shared. The catalyst is known. Making friends in Myanmar is a good move for both sides. And to the state, which has a coastline of 1930 km and many islands, God himself ordered the development of the Navy, that’s why they are interested.

[noct]

"... Russian arms deliveries could aggravate the situation in Myanmar, where clashes between the authorities and the Rohingya people continue, RIA Novosti reports from a representative of the State Department, Heather Nauert ..."
yeah, Russikh is not a “democratic" weapon. is Ukraine supplying "democratic" and to Syria, the flow of supplies is also democratic?
"... We want the Myanmar military to take real steps and demonstrate commitment to human rights, national reconciliation and democracy ..."
you creatures at home with human rights

[Dimmih]

There is no Rohingya — there are Bengal illegal Muslim migrants, just as there are no Palestinians — there are Arabs, the same migrants. Let them go home, to Bengal and the Arabian Peninsula, respectively, if someone does not like something.

[Nemesis]

My concern is not the supply of arms to Myanmar, but the fact that this is being done again at the expense of the Russian Federation and to the detriment of it ... Myanmar does not pay a hundred pounds, then again on credit, which will then be written off, consider it a gift ... Su-30 itself Russia, and if Myanmar is dear to Putin, let him put forward himself as president ...

[pavelty]

How do you know that on credit? Can you tell me the source? Were you signing the contract?

[Nemesis]

Myanmar has a civil war, the budget is empty ...

[Yuriy71]

Putin - the main thing is to be good everywhere! And it doesn’t matter that often at the expense of the citizens of Russia - they are familiar, they will tolerate for the sake of great goals!

[The Siberian barber]

There is a "double standards policy"!

[Geisenberg]

At the same time, they themselves would have muddied the genocide ... but then they dispersed.

[Yuriy71]

Of course! After all, arms are being negotiated with Russia! If it was the Trump manager from the states, then everything would be OK! )))
