There was always a desire to pretend Aung San Suu Kyi was deep down a Westerner who would turn Myanmar into Denmark. She’s not and won’t. — PolitiTweet.org

The idea that Buddhist populations are innately peaceful, unlike those scary Muslims, is both condescending & wrong https://t.co/dHlEFjOO2d — PolitiTweet.org

Just because the majority religion is Buddhism does not make Myanmar immune to the human tendencies that lead to ethnic cleansing. — PolitiTweet.org

Myanmar is fighting the longest-running civil war in the world over ethno-nationalist lines. Yes, including your beloved Aung San Suu Kyi. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Ethno-nationalism has been a defining feature of Myanmar society and politics for half a century. Yes, incl your beloved Aung San Suu Kyi. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

I am a little tired of takes that Myanmar is a Good Buddhist Country and that its turn to ethno-nationalism is some shocking new development — PolitiTweet.org

Americans (and foreign policy elites abroad) will be shocked, for sure. But don’t confuse that for the rest of the world being shocked. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

I’m not endorsing that view, just describing how we are seen. Trump’s speech will be, for many, confirmation of what they already thought. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

We think of ourselves as benevolent hegemons bringing peace and freedom to the world. That view is not much shared by others, incl allies. — PolitiTweet.org

There are many things about the US that the rest of the world admires and respects. Our foreign policy was never really among them. — PolitiTweet.org

You don’t have to be a lefty anti-imperialist to understand much of the world already thought USA was belligerent, dangerous & hypocritical. — PolitiTweet.org

Threatening to back out of the Iran deal, on the other hand, sends a clear message that US commitments are empty & we cannot be trusted. — PolitiTweet.org
