The world needs to act on Myanmar’s military coup - democratically elected leaders need to be restored and mass scale human rights abuses stopped, or it will descend into a failed state with tens of millions affected. It looks like Russia (and China) are vetoing any UN action. What are the alternatives?

After Libyan and Syrian civil war do people think that 3rd party involvement is a good thing?

Libya and Syria: Same here, some 3rd parties are involved anyway. The question is if "the West" (I guess this is what you refer to) should/must/must not get involved as well.

#25I wonder how international companies handle this. Sneaking them out of the country would obviously be in breach of local law but may be considered part of their duty to employees (similar to rescuing people stuck in a war zone due to a business trip). Why those executives were in the country is another question.

No we do not have to act. It's not our problem. It's none of our business.

If we don’t act, we don’t get to say ‘never again’.
