Myanmar’s military has seized power and declared a state of emergency for one year following days of escalating tension over the result of November’s parliamentary elections.
Aung San Suu Kyi, the country’s de facto leader, President Win Myint, and other senior members of the National League for Democracy (NLD) party have been detained in the capital, Naypyidaw, on Monday.
A video broadcast on military-owned television said power was handed to Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, commander-in-chief of the armed forces, citing “huge irregularities” in November’s vote.
The power grab came as Parliament – in which the military is given 25 percent of the seats – was set to open in Myanmar.
Joe Biden has threatened to resume sanctions on Myanmar following the military coup and the suspension of democracy and called for international solidarity in confronting the country’s generals.
“The United States removed sanctions on Burma over the past decade based on progress toward democracy. The reversal of that progress will necessitate an immediate review of our sanction laws and authorities, followed by appropriate action,” Biden said in a written statement addressing the first foreign policy crisis of his presidency.
But unlike President Trump Biden doesn’t have the courage to stand up to China at the grand stage, as MailOnline reported “Chaos” erupted in the White House as Biden administration officials argue over whether to call #Myanmar military takeover a “coup” over fears they will “anger China and be forced to withdraw foreign aid”.
Joe Biden has condemned the takeover but has so far refrained from calling it a coup.
The administration has so far refrained from calling the takeover a coup — a term the term would require the U.S. to cut off aid to Myanmar’s government under the Foreign Assistance Act.
The Trump administration imposed sanctions against Min Aung Hlaing and blocked him from entering the United States for his role in alleged human rights abuses.
They can’t call it a coup because then they’ll be admitting to their coup too.
I don’t follow... that infers China supports the Myanmar military?
Q: What is the biggest differences between Biden, the Ho, and their collection of idiots and the Chinese Communist government?
A: The Chinese are far smarter and lie less.
Ha!
Not a single mention of the massive vote fraud that provoked the military into action.
Their military was more faithful to their oath than ours...
The cowards again have no problem lying about the fringe Q-nuts on January 6; but they just can’t risk offending their fellow travelers in public.
Then call it a junta
He effectively called it a coup a couple days ago. Backtracking doesn’t count.
News blast to all the gullible, lazy, woke ‘bystanders’ and to the free world: “Sh*t rolls downhill!”
The three slogans of the party — “War Is Peace; Freedom Is Slavery; Ignorance Is Strength” — are obvious examples of doublethink. The act of doublethink also occurs in more subtle details throughout the novel.
citing “huge irregularities” in November’s vote
Let me guess, Dominion Voting Systems!!??
Well:
“power was handed to Senior General Min Aung Hlaing”
Maybe not the whole military. Maybe just some factions that are headed by those who lean towards ethnic Chinese background?
Joe Biden, the best President, China has ever elected in America. Biden is totally owned by the ChiComs!
"Bobble Head” Biden is wholly owned and controlled by the CCP. The CCP is now allowed to do/say whatever the hell they want to do/say."
The CCP, also, owns and controls Willie Brown’s Hoe & (Dr Pepper Jill & the semi White Susan Brown Rice, the pre mixed WOC guide for the Obama Won!).
Biden is no leader. He is a puppet. The real leader is Susan Rice, who takes direction from Obama and his elite deep state cabal. Relax and enjoy Chairman Obama and his illegal third term as POTUS!
The good news is the CCP needs us as a prime customer, trainer of new engineers/scientists, as a pipeline for new technology, as a trading partner and as an ally.
If we are not a military threat to them and can help fund & cover/hide their aggression around the world. They and Susan Rice will just control us not bomb us.
The bad news is: They will daily, control more of our lives, during and post Dr. Pepper Jill Biden, Willie Brown’s Hoe and of course Deep State’s and Obama’s Susan Rice.
China is probably behind it. Whenever there is mischief afoot in the far east, I suspect China. Now it’s getting more that way with any third world crapper and even 1st world. They seem to be everywhere now.
