    Military Coup Underway In Myanmar As Civilian Leaders Arrested - State TV Off Air, Internet Cut

    It appears a military coup is underway in the Southeast Asian country of Myanmar (formerly Burma), where a state of confusion has descended on the population with soldiers now patrolling major city streets, and given state TV has also been taken off the air, according to Reuters.

    The national army says a recent major vote won by the National League for Democracy (NLD) party was "fraudulent," as a breaking BBC report details:

    Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of Myanmar's governing National League for Democracy (NLD) party, has been arrested, the spokesman for the party said. It comes amid tensions between the civilian government and the military, stoking fears of a coup.

    The NLD won enough seats in parliament to form a government in November, but the army says the vote was fraudulent.

    The army has called on the government to postpone convening parliament, which was due to take place on Monday.

    Hilarious you think protesters entering the Capitol was a coup attempt. But that’s the brainwashing you get when you get your news from the propaganda pushing MSM. There were a few weirdos in the bunch, granted, but the vast majority of those who entered the building were there to peacefully protest, not try to overthrow and seize control of the government.

    If you want to see what a coup attempt looks like go to Myanmar.

    i'm sure you'd be singing the same tune if antifa/BLM broke into congress, killed a cop, and successfully halted Trump's vote certification process had the election gone his way.

    Tell me, how'd you feel if a group of Chinese or Muslims attempted the above?

    I wonder if he even realized his own racism and hypocrisy:cool:
     
  8. It's utterly amazing how the Lying Stream Media says a few protesters at the Capital were part of a coup. It's insane reporting by a bunch of lousy, nutty reporters.

    The 'peaceful' protestors, did you see any attempt from them to stopping the rampage?
    The only 'peaceful' was they sat and watched (with glee).

    Biden is so incredibly weak and incompetent that you are going to see military juntas and repressive regimes act out all over the world for the next 4 years.

    Its a free for all.
