President Joe Biden threatened to reimpose sanctions on Myanmar on Monday as his administration debates whether to call the military takeover a 'coup.'

Insiders familiar with the back-and-forth described the discussions as 'chaos' as officials fear that the White House calling the military takeover a coup could anger China and force the United States to withdraw foreign aid, Politico reported.

Myanmar's army took power of the country early on Monday and declared a state of emergency after detaining de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi along with members of her party.

I’m surprised they don’t have constant communication with master Xi so Xo Xiden will know what to do.

Biden and Harris will have us at war sooner or later.

Looks like they are on a fast track.

If they’re fighting it’s over how to pass themselves off to American voters as not working for the Chinese. They can cheat but they’ve still got to get about a third of the vote.

Isn’t everyone itching for us to get involved in another war in Southeast Asia? No?

Not itching.

It will depend on how desperate Biden / Harris get for a distraction.

When fascists are in charge, the dynamic changes from the usual. The purpose has nothing to dowuth defending our nation or its allies. It is just another socialist grift regardless of whether there is an itch, an ax to grind , or an ideology. Its about maximizing fascist power at home, what Biden / Harris call Unity, and having a meat grinder in which to send Trump supporters who love the military.

Of COURSE there is chaos. It is a WHite House full- FULL- of the immature, ideological freaks, the mentally disabled, the completely incompetent, the worthless, the inexperienced and the irretrievably stupid, the corrupt, the liars and other assorted swamp bottom feeders the self serving, the political ladder climbers, the narcissists.

Can there be anything BUT chaos?

Is Myanmar (Burma) still part of the opium trade? Asking for my friend, hunter.

I don’t understand the dilemma. The Coup in the White House looks exactly the same as the Coup in Burma. Same-same. Military. Everything. There is no difference. China likes it.

They won’t start a war. They’re too chicken. They’ll just talk tough. We’re outraged! We’re saddened and disappointed! Blah blah blah.

They will start a war because they have to n order to maintain power.

You must understand.

We are being ruled by fascists.

The normal rules do not apply.

This is just the first round.

I give them another couple of years.

Aung San Suu Kyi is no Saint, she has been brutal against Muslims in the country (not the ratical ones) when in power. She was under house arrest for many years and became a lightening rod of sorts for peaceniks the likes of Bono / U2 whom dedicated a song (Walk On) in her name during U2’s 2000 Tour. She was freed, new elections took place and she won. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I’ll give him some credit as he denounced her for the Muslim treatment in 2017 saying she should step down from power.

“Aung San Suu Kyi is no Saint, she has been brutal against Muslims in the country (not the ratical ones) when in power.”

It’s called FIGHTING TERRORISM. We keep calling for it, and then criticizing those who do just that.

To put it another way, given her history and credibility, I’ll trust HER JUDGEMENT on how to deal with their terrorists before I’d trust our media or deep state.

Chaos will dominate resident biden’s “administration” for the next four years. Too many cooks spoil the soup. The cooks now include biden, Commie Harris, Obama, Susan Rice, Nancy, Sandy O-C, Schumer, and more. They all have conflicting agendas. biden hasn’t enough wit about him to even eat the soup, much less control its cooking.

Order popcorn while you can. All we can do is watch.

A bunch of creepy pigs feeding at the .gov trough—and hoping the mass media can hide their kleptocratic “national security secrets”.
