Crystallizing the collapse of the #USA's standing in the world under #Trump in one news item:
"#Myanmarâs military leader lauded Mr Donald Trump... after a tariff letter from the #US President believed to be #Washingtonâs first public recognition of its rule
General Min Aung Hlaing endorsed Mr Trumpâs false claim that the 2020 US election was stolen, and thanked him for shutting down funding to US-backed media providing independent coverage of conflict-wracked Myanmar"
It just keeps getting worse

Two months after the devastating earthquake, 21 health partners managed to deliver health services to 165,411 people (37% of the target) in 48 out of 58 townships affected by the earthquake. Several mobile health teams were forced to cease operations as they were not provided with necessary approvals by the authorities, leaving some earthquake-affected populations with no access to health services. https://reliefweb.int/report/myanmar/myanmar-health-cluster-bulletin-may-2025 #Myanmar

Whoa. A security cam in Myanmar captured an earthquake fault rupture live. This may be the first ever caught on camera?
Watch the fence-line on the right. And note the power-line tower behind it.

âThe creation of the Anti-Fascist Internationalist Front last year follows a long tradition of anti-fascist internationalism from Spain to Rojava. Upon seeing the peopleâs war in Myanmar, internationalists took it upon themselves to form an front against the fascist government just as they did in 1936 and 2014. Since then, the revolution has brought together all sectors of society, urban and rural, Burmese majority and ethnic minorities, old and young. This revolution has been started, maintained and soon may be won entirely by normal people, most who had never fired a gun and many whoâd barely left school.â

I want to share this: Currently I live in #Cambodia, #PhnomPenh. Recently there was an #earthquake in #Myanmar. Cambodia is quite far away from Myanmar, but still some skyscrapers were very slightly shaking. In #Bankok, #Thailand one high rise building under construction entirely collapsed. Of course in Myanmar the damage was the heaviest, with lots of historic sites and cities completely destroyed.
Thousands of people died. Idk how much people cared in Europe about it, but here they do a lot.
