it is truly stupid. the military rise up to resist the gloablists. this is what happens when democracies are centralized and fall. factions rise up to take the power. thank god junta is like the founding fathers and protected their land from foreign hands. Ok maybe they give a little to china but but that little made them cease all support to the insurgents.

War is the most boring fucking activity in contemporary history. We’ve been robbed of glorious battles, of heroic tales, of the very fighting spirit of humanity. In other words, contemporary warfare is FAKE AND GAY.

Name a contemporary war that would lead to such gallantry and glorious battles. Our modern era is an era of unprecedented peace (mostly anyways), when another bigass war happens we will see it again.

Is Ukraine not enough? I know it is foreign but there have been both heroes and glorious battles, some of which were caught on HD video.

You know who the hero in the Ukraine war is? The Little Fucking Suicide Drone Who Could! I was excited when it first kicked off. I thought it would be a massive battle for the future of the world and shit, BUT NO! It’s just a bunch of fucking slavic untermensch bumrushing trenches. And that’s the exciting part. Most of it is just suicide drones dropping grenades in some foxholes hundreds of miles away from the nearest strategic location. IT. IS. FUCKING. BORING! I can’t get invested in this shit! Tribal squabbles in Africa are more invigorating than this fucking nonsense! Wake me up when there’s a big fucking conflict that involves actual use of manpower, tanks, combined arms and shit, because if I have to sit through one more fucking minute of this third world grade “frontline combat footage” that just involves some retarded apparatchik getting a grenade Amazon Air delivered to his scrotum, I’M GONNA GOUGE OUT MY OWN EYES WITH MY PINKIES!

Myanmar is without doubt the most kino war of this decade and /k/ doesn't know anything about it because it's not on the news.

The Burmese army just launched a paraglider night attack on a rebel public funeral and lit the fuck out of the villagers and set fire to Chaung-U.

And that's in Monywa so central Myanmar, basically an urban area. I think the region might have been cut off by the earthquake from Mandalay, but Instagram tier rebels take over regions of the country at random so there's often no rhyme or reason to it, too many things like this to look into individually.

What blows my mind is why they didn't just disintegrate afterward. Pakistan and India did it, yes, I know, it wasn't some bloodless affair and I also am keenly aware of the internal fragmentation between the two. I am just saying that it's sort of wild that more of these larger countries that Britain wrote down on a map didn't just stop existing after Britain left.
>>
>>64421047
Because after the bongs left, the palaces and offices remained. Local fat cats waddled in to fill the gap. The immense power of people lacking agency (aka "institutional inertia") meant that ppl were comfortable with continuing the same routines, just with a fellow brown master. And the new brown masters don't want to give up their claims over the vast territory, even if the whole bong premise is bogus.
Like Pootin, or Trump, they know they can keep leaning their fat ass against the wall of resistance at no personal risk (because the public lacks agency) and the resistance may yet, someday, eventually get tired and collapse.

>>64421047
Until anyone can replace the infrastructure, much of which is still British, the roads all go to Mandalay.Many of the regions are separatist but are ethnic enclaves which have no other country to join, it's all find and good for the people's republic of judea to shoot a cop and declare independence, but they don't have a nurse, far less a hospital. Thailand doesn't really want Burmese terrorists running around all over Thailand. The thai's modernized, the Burmese remained a hermit kingdom.

And the east of india is still a total warzone with 20 different state backed terrorists, CIA, fucking everyone is running around out there blowing shit up and causing trouble. The east of India is not actually under Indian control. Jawals are sandbagged up in 7 sisters praying the natives don't eat them. If anything it's the historical kingdoms of east india which will regain autonomy due to the burmese civil/village war.

Haiti has been rebuilt nine times at taxpayer expense to no permanent result. NIGGERS GONNA NIG, including SEAniggers.

Also its not like China has a vested interest in preventing the formation of state on its border which might be peeled away from it in the future by foreign pressure if it was indeed a functional state. Therefore it would never be in China's best interest to insure a nominal state exists but that it is weak and dependent upon China for survival. Nope no way.

Get used to it. There will never be a war without drones now. And even African militia groups have started putting together their own drone teams.

Imagine Iraq or Afghanistan but every insurgent has a suicide drone…

Myanmar Civil War is unironically the most kino war of the decade. One side using craft and ingenuity to face off against a well armed, modern army with foreign support. It’s like Vietnam all over again, but the punji stakes have been replaced with 3d printed toepopper mines and FGC-9s are used in a practical manner.

It’s not the existence of drones that bothers me. It’s the lack of tanks, helicopters, jets, fuck, ANYTHING besides fucking drones! I’m watching chickens run around with their heads cut off. No consideration given to strategy, to grand battles and offenses. I can’t even get behind either side from a political viewpoint and tacitly enjoy these petty skirmishes they call “battles”. Slavs were the worst mistake ever produced by this godforsaken planet.
>>
>>64421360
Let me tell you this. When they start making movies about the latter parts of the Ukraine war, they will be boring as shit. They’ll have to ham up the human drama of Stanislav Slavskyy piloting a fucking suicide drone to drop a hand grenade on some stupid bastard’s foxhole all the while accomplishing BUM FUCK NOTHING! So you can fuck RIGHT OFF with your reductive view of warfare of the past and don’t come back to me until something actually, finally, with a triumphant fucking crescendo FUCKING HAPPENS!

Because drones kill them instantly. How are you supposed to have 50,000 men offensives when the no man’s land is deadlier then it was in WW1?>>64421416
No they’ll make movies showing soldiers storming trenches and shooting down helicopters with a single drone buzzing by in one scene, as this is exciting. Much like how both historical media and just historical “epics” (read bullshit) focus on storming city walls and heavy cavalry charges and not the part where you wander with your unit for two years around the French countryside until you die of an STD or just die of thirst because people didn’t understand hydration yet.

it's not even a war, it's a border skirmish
we are using thailand to poke the commies because myanmar is doing a lot of bad shit
>>
>>64420042
so ultimately it was intelligence that ruined warfare since it allowed one to be more effective than the other, which is of course totally unfair
therefore the only honorable type of combat today is those slapping contests where you sit across a table and just slap each other

Niggas, current Burma is smaller than the country the Bongs conquered initially.
>>64421047
Why would they disintegrate? Even Gandhi was butthurt that India wasn't bigger on independence since he wanted to keep the Hindu and Muslims states united. Indian states technically had the right to pick whether they wanted to become part of India, Pakistan or independence. Most chose India or Pakistan based on religion except one which was promptly invaded by India upon independence.
>>
>>64421047
I'll add to the explanations that >>64421076 and >>64421094 provide. While I can't speak for what's going on in Asia, the Middle East and Africa have at least had their disintegration arrested by the UN (read, the West's (read, the United States')) bizarre hangup on letting borders shift or change. The split between Sudan and South Sudan was a geopolitical earthquake that was only allowed to happen after at least a decade of fighting and appalling atrocities. It's gotten worse since those seeking self-determination now have only the US to appeal to, with the death of the Soviet Union.

It is in part due to Russia's increasing diminishment, the US's increasing inward turn, and China's total abivalence about anything not to its immediate advantage that decades-old frozen conflicts are unfreezing to actual results, like the retard fight between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh.

Those were pseudo states with a goverment demanding payments in their domain but not caring about their lives or activities, modern (modern of modernity, not of current year) governments are far more intrusive.

If there's one thing I've learned from watching hundreds of Ukraine drone videos, it's that drones very frequently do not kill soldiers instantly because the prevalence of armor there often prevents wounds that would otherwise be immediately lethal. I've seen mangled men take 1, 2, 3 grenades or shells before they expire with their entrails spilling out.

If somebody wanted to make a movie that encapsulates the banal horror of the Russo-Ukrainian war, it should be about a squad getting droned, incapacitated by wounds, and then left to bleed out until everybody's dead.
