United States said to be reluctant to send help to Burma |

because apparently they never purchased our arms.
(I don't know if that's actually true, I just cannot believe that this shit can happen so regularly, and we're not far off either).

Is that the leader of our quasi-totalitarian state will ask - "What's in it for us"
Any aid will be in proportion to the answer to that question.
That is true.

We can't send troops, we don't have any to send. Unfortunately, I think that is about the only thing that would help now, especially since they need help quickly.
