Part 7/9:
Future Outlook: Breaking the Stalemate
The future remains uncertain for both the Tatmadaw and the Rebel Alliance. Several potential paths could lead to a resolution of the current stalemate, though these scenarios seem unlikely at this stage.
For the Tatmadaw, breakthroughs might require either an unforeseen shift in rebel morale or significant military reinforcement from allies like Russia or China. Current assessments suggest that neither outcome is probable.
Conversely, the rebels could secure additional support from foreign powers or catalyze a widespread uprising within the cities themselves. However, such developments would necessitate a level of coordination and unity that has proven elusive.
