Senator Mitch McConnell speaks up forcefully for democracy in Burma.
It was a good speech and I am glad Zin Mar Aung cld join them, via Zoom?
It's a very forceful statement and at last McC has clarity, after hemming and hawing so much abt trump.
We're beggars these days, and we have to accept everyone who comes to our side.

The incredible Mr Ben Menashe
Dickens & Madson Canada, a Montreal-based firm, agreed to represent the junta in Washington via Israeli-Canadian lobbyist Ari Ben-Menashe.
Documents submitted by Ben-Menashe showed that the agreement was reached with the junta's defense minister, General Mya Tun Oo and that the government would pay the firm $2 million.

They got MAH's name wrong. I found bc I Googled "Ben Menashe and Than Shwe" as Shwe's photo was in previous article.
Even CNN used B-M to get access to Myanmar, which is where I first heard his name.

It almost kills me.
I only found this by wondering where else I shld submit a poem I just wrote.

US exports to Burma fell 60%
Exports from US plunged 60% after coup, data shows
7:00 p.m. Unsurprisingly, Myanmar's international trade started shrinking in the month of February, preliminary trade data obtained by Nikkei Asia shows.
Total exports to Myanmar from eight trading partners -- including the U.S., Canada and New Zealand -- fell 38% on the year in February, while their imports from Myanmar dipped 9%, according to trade statistics reported to the United Nations. These eight nations usually make up roughly one-tenth of Myanmar's total trade.
Of the eight partners, the U.S. retreated the farthest. Its exports to Myanmar contracted 60% and its imports from there shrank 12%, owing to Washington's relatively quick imposition of sanctions. With other countries following suit and the U.S. introducing additional sanctions in later weeks, trade figures for March and April are expected to show sharper contractions, reflecting further damage to the military-run economy.
6:00 p.m. App-based food delivery service provider Foodpanda remains committed to Myanmar despite the ongoing political unrest that has disrupted internet services in the country, the company's chief executive tells Nikkei Asia. Read more.

Myanmar Coup, notorious arms dealer Tayza goes to Moscow.
I didn't even know he relocated to Singapore, like Blackwater Erik Prince relocating (To UAE, Dubai?)
Former Nazis to Brazil.
This
shows their need for arms, or "tech help", bc KIA shot down ONE
helicopter, though it was rumored they shot 2, and said to have 8 left
and already armed to the teeth.
Also they did not go to CHYNA, as trump always pronounced it.
Go figure.
