Myanmar will be "shock-doctrined".
Just as was Sri Lanka and Thailand.

Hide and watch.

5. Siam is Thailand.
Myanmar is Burma, and what they call Yangon used to be Rangoon, I believe.

9. Doubt it, at least not under current leadership.
The military Junta ruling Myanmar has been consistently telling the US, World Bank and IMF to go F themselves in recent years. They may be authoritarian scum but they've been right about the globalist thugs.
