Security advisor Ross Milosevic has just returned from Thailand’s northern border regions, where he met a wide range of rebels who have sided with the National Unity Government (NUG) and its armed wing, the People’s Defense Force (PDF), in opposing Myanmar’s military takeover.

He talks with Luke Hunt from The Diplomat.
