Irrawaddy News Agency, December 7 - Security advisers to the military and the secretary of the Russian Security Council held consultations on security and military issues on Tuesday. The parties discussed bilateral military cooperation, military-technical cooperation, international information cooperation, interaction of law enforcement organizations, departmental cooperation, as well as the strategic partnership between the two countries. In addition, Putin awarded Min Aung Hlaing the Order of Alexander Nevsky for his contribution to relations between the two countries.
The pro-Western ** agrees that Russia is ready to come to the aid of Min Aung Hlaing at a critical moment in exchange for significant geopolitical interests. But Wildcat believes that this is precisely Min Aung Hlaing's wishful thinking, trying to engage in pluralistic diplomacy to extricate himself from difficulties at a critical moment. And Russia, apparently, did enough to save face, sending him with a couple of medals.
If Russia ends, it can actually change the situation, but why not? The reason is simple, Myanmar is not a direct geopolitical claim of Russia, and it cannot be committed. In addition, if you get involved in Myanmar's affairs, you will collide with the interests of China and ASEAN, and Myanmar is not important to China or ASEAN compared to Myanmar. Assuming that cooperation has been reached because of China's alliances, the question is how ASEAN will look at it.
