Europe shouldn't buy Myanmar junta's Suu Kyi ploy
Min Aung Hlaing does not need Europe or the US to fully embrace him, at least not at first. The junta knows Europe is busy with Ukraine, Gaza, migration, economic pressure, and increasingly polarized domestic politics. They are betting that Europe’s weary diplomats will accept something that appears stable and orderly, even if it is built on mass violence.
The concern is not that Myanmar’s generals are trying it again.
Rather, it’s that there are already signs that Brussels and London are pretending not to recognize it.
