While liberals have long garnered a rather notorious reputation for blaming President Donald Trump for everything, they can still manage to shock a sensible person with their blame game.
And sure, enough, that’s exactly what they just did.
As detailed in a shocking report from the Daily Mail, it would appear that Sky News is actually blaming Trump for the devastating fallout from the Myanmar earthquake.
With a specific focus on “[the] 1,200-word dispatch filed by International Affairs Editor Dominic Waghorn, whose commentary argued how the US government’s dismantling of USAID under Trump had compounded the disaster’s fallout.”
“The Myanmar quake is the first major disaster to suffer the brunt of Donald Trump’s USAID cuts … This will be the first natural disaster to happen after President Donald Trump shut down America’s international aid agency with potentially devastating consequences,” Waghorn raged.
Right.
Then how does Wagner justify the following report from Karen News?
“The junta and junta-aligned militia are stealing humanitarian aid sent by international aid organisations to internally displaced people (IDPs) in southern Shan State,” the media outlet reported.
Tellingly, this report was published this year on January 16, 2025, to be exact. Doubtful that the nation has magically cleaned up all its corruption since then.
So, is Waghorn suggesting that it is “devastating” that a military junta can’t steal any more international aid, weaponizing it against civilians?
Is that what a liberal considers “devastating?”
Probably … considering that liberals demanded for planes filled with illegally present gang bangers from Latin America to be returned to the United States.
Tellingly, Sky News can’t claim ignorance about the Karen News report, given that the junta’s theft of international aid has been long known.
In fact, discussed openly in many international newspapers for years.
Consider these examples.
In 2023, the junta reportedly “slammed …intervening nations,” in particular Western nations … while simultaneously singing the praises of China and Thailand, according to a report from The Star.
In 2021, Devex detailed how $42M in USAID had been “redirect[ed]” out of fears that the junta would steal it.
That travesty is one of many in recent years, which just go back further and further.
In 2017, for instance, The Guardian had an especially brutal take on the military regime … going as far as to suggest that international aid may be stolen indefinitely by the genocidal junta.
“The Myanmar government has taken control of aid operations in the country’s crisis-hit Rakhine state, as reports continue of massacres and “ethnic cleansing” by soldiers on the Muslim population there. Senior officials and Human Rights Watch have told the Guardian they believe the move could become permanent, ending vital food and health programmes run by international agencies,” the liberal British newspaperadmitted.
Someone should redirect the rabble rouser from Sky News, not to mention hordes of Democrats, to this particular piece.
Not to mention all the other stories that have long circulated regarding Myanmar’s military junta … for decades.
Indeed, the numerous, numerous recent stories regarding Myanmar have actually been ongoing for decades.
And, rather interestingly, it seems that the junta stealing aid is a rather common occurrence.
Especially during war and natural disasters, when the most aid is generally received.
Indeed, nearly twenty years ago, the nation’s violent government was accused of deliberately starving its population and stealing aid.
In 2008, the New Zealand Herald reported that even the United Nations (UN) admitted that the brutal military junta was “stealing Myanmar aid.”
“The United Nations says only a tiny portion of international aid is reaching Myanmar’s cyclone victims, amid reports that the country’s military regime is hoarding good-quality foreign aid for itself and doling out rotten food,” the media outlet noted.
And, rather tellingly, guess what necessitated so much aid in 2008 in the first place?
That’s right: another natural disaster, as also noted by the New Zealand Herald.
“Cyclone Nargis devastated the country’s Irrawaddy delta on May 3, leaving about 62,000 people dead or missing, according to the government count. The UN has suggested the death toll is likely to be more than 100,000,” the media outlet added.
In addition, the New York Times also admitted that the junta was “stealing aid” that same year.
Astonishingly, the publication even admitted that the relief workers reporting the theft were terrified for their lives.
“The aid directors declined to be quoted directly on their concerns for fear of angering the ruling junta and jeopardizing their operations,” the liberal paper added.
You don’t say …
