NEW statement from Biden on military coup in Burma (Original Post)

(2,028 posts)1. I'm glad they're calling it "Burma" and not "Myanmar" ...
That military junta who have been running that country for the past 30 years are some really nasty people. They are the ones who re-named the country "Myanmar" and because they had no right to be in control of that country, they had no right to re-name it either. The people of that country still call it "Burma" and that's what I'll always call it.
And Aung San Suu Kyi is one of the human beings on this planet whom I most admire.

"In a democracy, force should never seek to overrule the will of the people or attempt to erase the outcome of a credible election."
