๐ฉ๐ฉ 7. If the Junta's Military Cannot Be Dismantled From Within, Revolutionary Forces Will Be Compelled to Dismantle It Entirely
April 14
According to PDFInsight, which analyzes military developments, if the junta's military structure cannot be internally dismantled, then revolutionary forces will have to eliminate it entirely—leading to the complete dismantling of the whole military institution.
“At present, the military is no longer a national institution. It merely serves the interests of a close-knit group—relatives and associates. That group is using the entire military force as expendable pawns to safeguard its personal gains. This very group will never take the three necessary corrective actions described above. Therefore, it must be removed first,” stated PDFInsight.
“If the military fails to dismantle itself from within, the revolutionary forces will take on the task of dismantling it. At that stage, the entire military will need to be dissolved. Otherwise, any ambitious military officer, as long as they secure a position, will simply plot another coup—just as Daw Sein Aye’s thesis warned us,” the analysis further noted.
PDFInsight concluded that under the current path chosen by junta leader Min Aung Hlaing, a military solution is the only path to a decisive end.
