Focus on choke points: jet fuel is critical for Myanmar’s air force.
Target the junta’s chokepoints by cutting off aviation fuel shipments and the financing that pays for weapons. Pressure companies and key regional hubs to stop supplying jet fuel and to exit the aviation fuel trade, using sanctions and legal tools where available. Pair that with restrictions on Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise so the junta has less revenue to procure arms.
Why this works
Starving the air force of fuel could literally ground many deadly air raids, immediately saving civilian lives. Cutting finances makes it hard for the junta to pay for new Russian gunships or Chinese drones.
