Um...

Until this guy gets convicted of a crime in the US, the FCC won't have
much to say...

So, are you saying he violated US law? If not then what's the point?

The US Government tends to frown on US citizens providing material support
to any side of a civil war that is occurring in a foreign country unless of
course such support is part of a CIA sponsored covert aid program. A citizen
operating outside the bounds of US policy might be construed as violating US
neutrality laws.

Maybe or maybe not. In either case, FCC has no jurisdiction to
prosecute "neutrality laws".

Be careful you don't get a heart attack from mountain climbing in mole
hills.

How can one get a heart attack climbing mountains in molehills?

It is quite impossible for a mountain to exist in a molehill.

This is what my high school grammar teacher called a "mixed metaphor".
Remember that? Mixed metaphors are to be avoided as they tend not to make
any sense and fail to provide the irony intended.

How were your grades in grammar claas?

The US Government tends to frown on US citizens providing material support

Then, get the guy convicted of a crime and *then* complain to the FCC
about his license... The FCC is not in the business of enforcing all
the laws of the US, just the ones they wrote.

If it involves illegal transmission by a US citizen or resident of
electromagnetic waves anywhere, between 3000Hz and light waves, it is within
the FCC's scope to take action.

If the action violates US law and occured on US soil, the FCC can take
action.

If not, the foreign government can prosecute if the offender is on their
soil, or if not and there is a treaty, ask the US for extradition of the
offender, none of which would involve the FCC.

The FCC has no jurisdiction over anything that happens on foreign soil.

The FCC could take action after the person was convicted by a foreign
government under the various character clauses.

You should really rethink your position. A couple of people here have
attempted to steer you in the right direction. The FCC has no
jurisdiction in a foreign land.

There have only been 3 or 4 "US Neutrality Acts", all written back in
the 1930's dealing with the Spanish Civil War and the run-up to WWII.
None them apply to Burma.
