Yeah sure, power and control but to what end? If the CIA
is behind another coup, then it makes sense that nobody
knows the good guys in this fight. Deposed leaders, military
take-over, unrest in the streets. Another disguise for democracy
and freedom, no doubt. Leave them alone.
I generally eschew sources related to the war gaming community. The war graphics commentary sets off a number of my bs detectors but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Attack targeted opening ceremony for office set up by military’s opponents in Sagaing region of Myanmar

“This morning, the Myanmar air force dropped multiple bombs on a civilian gathering of several hundred people, while attack helicopters strafed the crowd,” the NUG’s acting president, Duwa Lashi La, said in a statement.
Some local news outlets said residents feared the death toll could be as high as 100.

Yes. at the time the articles were reporting it
as another attack on National Unity Government organized by the opposition of the current leadership of Myanmar. To follow it helps to remember dual definitions of nations name, US press often uses Burma instead of the country's self determined name of Myanmar.
