  1. The situation in Burma is reprehensible, I will grant you that. On the other hand, equating it with the situation in Ukraine is just plain silly. That will get you nowhere. By your logic, the world should be actively intervening in Iran and Afghanistan (again). There are plenty of other examples, especially in Africa. There is a real problem in dealing with internal conflicts. How many Brits, for example, should die helping the Burmese throw off this repressive government? You, and the report you cite, ignore the extensive number of sanctions imposed by the US, especially since 2021. There are also executive orders against the military junta going back to 1997. So, I question the report. Sanctions take a long time to work, they are not a quick fix. Military interventions in internal conflicts are generally not successful, unless the intervening party wants to take extreme measures. In the west we have an aversion to "nation building". Look at Afghanistan. There was at least a national security issue here involving the west. As for the airspace issue, that is quite unimportant. It has no effect on the country whose airspace has been violated. Should India start an air war for this? Again, how many outsiders must die to solve the problem.
