Myanmar Appeals for Global aid but rejects USA help?

[Clouse123456]

You guys hear about this? Or am I uninformed?

[jankren]

Im surprised the Burmese people havent thrown out their government.

Not just US but western help to the point the French were pondering trying to make the UN force them to accept the aid. Evidently the goverment (I use the term loosely) is more interested in aid workers getting proper visas then they are in helping their people.

Basically they want all the stuff, food, clothing, money but they will handle the rest. A country that is organized, wealthy as the US managed to screw up Katrina Im sure the qualifications of a corrupt, repressive regime is more then capable of handling a disaster on a scale makes Katrina look like a rain storm. Wonder how many people have died since as they drag their feet around on this. Right now looking at 80-100k dead, atleast a million homeless. But hey atlest their constitution referendum is on track for May 10th...yeah Im sure starving, homeless people looking for lost family and friends sure are going to find time to go vote.

They tend to shoot them when they do that.

Burma has rejected all outside aid, despite the fact that the cyclone may have claimed 100,000 lives.

I heard a group of American Christian missionaries got kidnapped whilst handing out aid. The US had to use mercs to get them out. They were helped by some "boat man" who turned out to be an ex-Green Beret. They shouldn't have pushed him. People keep pushing him.

It's hard without the support of the military, but give it time, hopefully it will happen.

The Burmese authorities are actually impounding UN food aid.

[danzig]

Honestly at this point the UN should issue a resolution authorizing use of force to ensure aid workers get into the country and give Myanmar military jackasses half a day to agree.

Its cause we didn't send in the right Humanitarian Aid Workers...

Often SF units are required to perform additional, or collateral, activities outside their primary missions. These collateral activities are coalition warfare/support, combat search and rescue, security assistance, peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, humanitarian de-mining and counter-drug operations.

If we send in the right ones Myanmar can't do anything but accept the humanitarian aid

Thats the point where a government needs intervention when they care more about seemingly being in control then helping the people they oppress.

[Chaigidel]

myanmar should declare it has oil reserves that would get them invaded.

I think Farnans predator diplomacy option needs to go into effect.

[The King Of Peasants]

Wow US special forces have to be the nastiest looking soldiers ever!! I don't think an attack on Myanmar could be considered an invasion as the current government shouldn't be in power as it would pretty hard to get worse then the current dictatorship.

[MadBurgerMaker]

The Burmese government being irrational and stupid? I'm SHOCKED!

Edit:

Those guys are all just having a bad hair day. Normally they all look like this:

I don't mean an invasion, just have them provide humanitarian aid, and if Myanmar's government causes problems, Myanmar is in range of US aircraft designated for Afghanistan.

Id like to see how many of Myanmars neighbors and Asian powers are to defend its despicable government now. F'ing murderous bastards. Not accepting aid is a situation like this is murdering ones own population in my book.

Hopefully, one day these people will stand trial in front of a free Burmese people lead by Aung San Suu Kyi.
