U.S. declares attacks on Burmese Rohingya Muslims as ‘ethnic cleansing’
Washington Post ^ | November 22, 2017 | Brian Murphy and Max Bearak

Posted on 11/22/2017 10:11:39 AM PST by C19fan

The United States sharply escalated pressure on Burmese officials Wednesday, describing apparent state-backed violence against the Rohingya Muslim minority and their massive refu­gee flight as “ethnic cleansing.”

The statement by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson signals a greater push by the Trump administration to possibly impose targeted sanctions against Burmese authorities and others blamed for the humanitarian crisis. But it does not automatically trigger broader action against Burma, also known as Myanmar.

So far this week I’ve seen Tillerson stand up for trannies and moslems in Indonesia. Not exactly MAGA.

If it be defined as “ethnic cleansing” then so be it but it must be done. The Rohingyas are engaged in Ethnic Cleansing against the non Moslem population of Burma.Turnabout is national and self defense.

Tillerson is a disaster. He is continuing down the progressive road to ruin and defying the President. With McConnell conspiring with Democrats to sabotage the President’s agenda, I’m sure President Trump realizes how difficult it would be to get replacements for Tillerson and Sessions confirmed by the Senate. Whoever was advising Trump on appointments made some huge errors during the transition period. It will take a significant shake up of the Senate in 2018 if the President hopes to succeed in the second half of his term. I see nothing but paralysis until January 2019.

No mention of the muslins starting all of this.

Turns out you can push a Buddhist only so far.

One day the native Euros will catch a clue from the Burmese.

I still have memories of riding in the family car headed west to California along Route 66 when I was first starting to read around 4-5 years old. Somehow, “Myanmarr Shave” would not have sounded quite right.

In light of recent Muslim violence, the Burmese must be thinking,”We’d better cleanse them before they cleanse us.”

“Send them all to Bangladesh. They’ll be safe there.”

Sounds like Tillerson wants them to come here! Shut up Tillerson!

Obama holdovers. Tillerson, time to clean house, and let the people of Burma take care of business.

So is the US going to go to war against Burma like we did against Serbia?

These are not the nice orange robed Buddhists from Tibet. These are the nasty ones from John Rambo movie.

Tillerson is a Swampocrat. Never was otherwise. I was opposed to him from the get-go; hiring him was a bad move. Time to break out your old catch-phrase, Mr. President:

And don’t forget the $700,000 his state department is sending to Hungarian media outlets for anti-Orban propaganda.

Didn’t the Rohingya Moslems start a terrorist campaign against Buddhists and Moslems?

I’m good with “ethnic cleansing” them into Bangladesh.
