JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): As a first gambit as the incoming chair for Asean in 2022 - and in its 50th year no less - Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's "offer" to visit the junta in Myanmar next month is breathtakingly audacious in all the wrong ways.

Let's be very clear about what's happening in Myanmar. Senior General Min Aung Hlaing's coup has plunged the entire country into a multi-dimensional catastrophe and given rise to the most unified and viable alternative to military rule Myanmar has ever seen.
