Idiots posting their conspiracy crap on twitter and facebook are in fact less reliable than journalists and photographers who were actually on the ground covering the election.

In the city of Naypyitaw on Saturday, Myanmar’s military junta celebrated Armed Forces Day, a holiday marking the beginning of Myanmar’s revolt against Japanese occupation during World War II. The weekend celebration came with a parade, a speech by coup leader Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, and a lavish dinner party.
Meanwhile, across the country, soldiers and police shot largely defenseless anti-coup protesters and bystanders—including children—killing 100 people in the country’s deadliest day since the military’s Feb. 1 takeover.
The day also marked a major escalation of violence in another conflict in Myanmar: the military’s ongoing fighting with local ethnic groups. In the ethnic Karen region in eastern Myanmar, villagers in Day Pu Noh Valley in Papun District noticed a military fighter jet flying overhead in the afternoon. That night, the military dropped bombs on the village—the first airstrikes in the region in 20 years—killing three people and wounding eight. The district is held by the armed Brigade 5 forces of the Karen National Union (KNU), a leading political body representing the ethnic group.
Saw Aye Lay Htoo, 27, was holding his 2-year-old son in his lap when the bomb hit, according to Christian aid group Free Burma Rangers. The father died instantly while pieces of shrapnel cut the right side of his child’s face. Villagers grabbed their children and belongings and fled to the jungle, finding shelter in caves and rock crevices as the Free Burma Rangers tended to the wounded, provided rice, and passed out tarps.

Yep, too many here think we need more Bush republicans despite the fact they are corrupt too.
Because the liberal media said so.
The opposition is real. But in any election, if the party that lost takes the streets, it looks like the whole country is in the street. Really it’s just the people who voted for the other side. The Democrats could easily put 5 million people in the streets in Washington DC. It would look like the whole country supported Biden. In reality, it’s just they’re hard-core supporters. Also, it’s very concerning that all of the American MSM is solidly against the coup. That tells me it’s probably the good guys.
We know what side the US government is on, when we know what side the CIA is on, we can tell you who the good guys are and who the bad guys are.
Reasoned and evidence-based skepticism is one thing, but the pro-junta position on FR has been based on nothing at all.
Is ‘mostly defenseless’ the same as ‘mostly peaceful’ ?
A coverup for violent attacks initiated by the people who were shot?
In the ethnic Karen region in eastern Myanmar...
Next you will post there was no cheating in American elections either.
Idiots posting their conspiracy crap on twitter and facebook are in fact less reliable than journalists and photographers who were actually on the ground covering the election.
And they covered the American elections too to see no cheating going on there. Oh.
My posts have claimed nothing in regard to whatever cheating occurred in Burma. You posted that Burma used Dominion voting machines. They did not. Period. Go peddle your stupid VOTING MACHINE conspiracy crap elsewhere. End of discussion.
The Soros bots have infiltrated many sites. How much do they pay you? Per site? Inquiring minds want to know.
The military prevented a pro-Chinese regime from handing over the country.
China wants Burma so they can have a route which bypasses the South China Sea

If it was "collateral damage" instead of killings, you would know the shooters were US and west's friends, and therefore - "the good guys."
Just because a movement claims to be ‘democratic’ doesn’t mean it is.
Case in point: The Democrats stealing an election in the name of democracy.
