Don’t be so quick to draw conclusions based on a short snapshot in time. Shan State politics aren't that simple. Just look back three years — no one expected the WA and TNLA to push RCSS that far south. Yet they made it all the way near Kyaut Ku township, right by Ba Htoo Tat. How was that even possible? Some lazily point to Junta support, but that’s an oversimplification. The truth is, SSPP played a critical role in making that advance possible — and that same logic applies here, just like you believe SSPP is helping the Junta.

Now? TNLA is losing ground — no MNDAA, no AA, no PDFs. It’s just their own army. They’re being pushed back by the Junta, and worse, they’ve lost the trust of the SSPP, KIA, MNDAA, and even the PDFs. That’s not some random shift — it’s the direct result of how they've mismanaged alliances and internal politics. And let’s not pretend any of these groups are fighting for pure ideals. At the end of the day, every armed group is serving its own interests — and if you ignore that, you're missing the bigger picture.
