No weapons to No democratic countries

Burma is a small country which borders India, China and Thailand. Thailand is unlikely to attack Burma, and if either of the two Asian giants did, a few combat helicopters would hardly affect to outcome. Therefore one must assume that the aim of acquiring such aircraft is internal suppression, although the exact role of a strike helicopter in putting down civil unrest is unclear, to say the least, except attacking guerilla camps perhaps. Burma's military government has created a culture of fear and oppression in what was once south East Asia’s most prosperous nation. The world should not sell any type of weapons to this type of non-democratic countries.
