  1. I think the unspoken international standard right now is that you can do anything horrible to your own people, in your own borders, and the international reaction will be pretty negligible (as far as effective action). BUT if you attack another country or significantly cause problems outside your borders to disturb/frighten the international order (and that can be refugee streams, vital resource control, successful conquest, do it near major trade routes or important countries' borders, etc), THEN other people get serious. Burma and the Burmese military govt simply don't meet that test. Ukraine does.
