There is a reason the military in Myanmar waited for Trump to leave office before they forcefully took back control.

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't the military coup been regarded as a good thing for Myanmar because the election there was also rigged and under control of the Soros organisation? Was China behind the military coup??

I might have missed some news.

I have personally lived in Myanmar and I have friends there. There is no support for the military party amoung the population at all. So claiming it was rigged and that the military party actually won the election is a completly absurd claim, if you know anything about the country.

I dont know why there is a community here trying to push that narative. But it is wrong, the military in myanmar is genecidal. They are shooting unarmed protesters every night in the streets of yangon right now. They also spent decades selling out myanmars natural resources to china for personal gain.

I thought it was strange, given the brutal, decades long civil war between the government and the population.

In any case, how does the election system work there? Are there two parties or just one party and a military party? From what I have read, the narrative isn't that the military won by a vote but that they stepped in and overturned the results of the election because they found them to be fraudulent. It seemed that, against all odds, despite their history, they had actually done something right.

Is that all incorrect?

There two big parties, NLD and the military party (USDP). NLD has widespreed support among the people. USDP is support and promoted by the military. Basically, military families support this party. But the military also has 25% of the house seat which are in thier control permanently. Meaning that USDP only needs 1/3 votes for the military to get a majority. Meanwhile the other parties needs 2/3 of the vote.

There are also a few small ethic parties, but note that these parties tend to side with NLD, with some execptions. But people usually perfer to vote directly for NLD. In worst case they would have had to bring in some parties into thier coalition. In order to get a majority.

NLD won the election by a landslide, similar to the last election, which is no suprise. The military claim election fruad, arrested thier leaders, beat at least one of them to death. It is a typical coup, they have offered no support for thier claims but they dont need to becuase they control the institutions.

If you would walk the streets of yangon a year ago almost every cab would have a NLD sticker. They didnt loose their support in 5 years. The hate for the military runs very deep in myanmar.

I'm failing to see how that means their election couldn't be fraudulent.

Could be their military is ass and the election was fraudulent, no?

The fact that the HARRIS/Biden Administration is opposing the military coup leads one to believe that there's more to see here.

You gotta prove fraud, not just claim it. They havn't really presented any evidence of voter fraud or tried to sway public opinion. Instead they bring guns and shot unarmed protesters. I really dont see how you can take their side in this. The biggest proof you can ask for is the huge turnout for the anti coup protests. They are very similar to the hong kong protests.

They use electronic voting machines. And the military went to the courts just like Trump did and was rejecting on the same grounds.

People here tend to support Myanmar's military because its particularly what this country needs. Its assumed that Myanmar had the same issue we did in 2020, but actually did something about. I've been suspicious since I could never find any info on how their election was fraudulent, but at the same time, I'm more concerned with what's going on here in America and haven't done the best due diligence with regards to that.

Who are they genocidal against? And it’s just the military that is this way? No conflicts among ethnic groups?

Hard to tell who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Either the military are staging a coup or they are thwarting one. There has been some discussion as to whether or not the CCP “encouraged” the military there. It is a fact that HRC, Obama and Soros were on the other side. It’s probably fair to say that whilst the CCP interfered in the US election and worked with democrats on that, they would not be willing to let the US get a foothold in Burma. China considers the Asia Pacific in it’s entirety theirs. Arguably Burma is now a new front between the US and the CCP. Just my take.

There is always the possibility there are no good guys.

Globohomo vs. CCP? Can they both lose?

AnacronicA 12 points ago +12 / -0

So, the CCP helped the democrats 'Win' in America and then, knowing that they would be in an impossible position to retaliate, back stabbed them in Myanmar? If so, the democrats are absolutely China's puppets now. They must play along with everything the CCP demands or get completely exposed.

That’s my working theory at the moment. Anything the CCP does is to further their own agenda. I don’t think they worked together in Myanmar. I think the Clinton/Soros crew had Myanmar as a project of their own and the CCP just smacked them down.

I don’t think it was Trump leaving. I think it was watching the election results in the US.

It's likely China is working with the military with the coup.

Shame Trump isn't in. Wouldn't have occurred.

The world was actually a pretty peaceful place for 4 years.

Well the Suez Canal just got blocked accidentally. You know the one route for supply chain and military vessels from Europe that doesn’t have to round the Horn of Africa. Extremely fortunate that.

Wait. . . are we going back to calling it Burma?

Does anyone else think the Myanmar military does not trust the globalist female leader for plain and simple reasons?

So, the CCPUSA only gives a fuck about stolen elections if there are actual consequences for the culprits? Interesting.

How do you say it ... cover war?

It’s work wonders before ... we funded the red army to destroy the Nazis, we funded the talibans to destroy the red army, we funded Pinochet to kill communists ... no American lives were at risk at the time then ... none should be now

Friendly reminder that the Epoch Times is a front organization for a group which uses very similar tactics to (and many identical) to Scientology.

They gather intel on what's troubling you, and charge you for tiered self-help courses. They want to know your deepest secrets, just like good old L. Ron Hubbard.

Falun Gong's leadership are not good people, and so whether or not they choose to print news stories that 'we' want to hear, they should be ignored. Self-help cults which take your sob stories and turn them against you later, should not be supported, and this is how they operate.

Just because they've been oppressed in China, is not a reason to support this group.

They've got some good American reporters and no one forces you to give them your deepest secrets. In fact if anyone knows our deepest secrets its Google and Big Tech who Epoch Times regularly reports on.

Epoch as some of the best journalism I've read in decades too. Very serious researchers in that team. Unlike many on the right who warn about Chyna, Epoch goes very deep into why we need to be concerned about Chyna with a strong litany of facts.
