    The half heartedness of the military in this parade suggests that they will be half hearted in their enforcement of the regime too. This would make it much easier to resist and overthrow the regime (or at least enforce rule by mass civil disobedience) as large sections of the military are likely to make only a token effort to suppress it.

      Yes! I think that’s a very important hint. These guys know how to march in step. It’s drilled in to them from day one in the military. They didn’t do it, and their commanding officers aren’t making them do it.

      I’ll probably be accused of being an optimist again, but I think June 14 is when we started winning. That comes from multiple angles.
