Blinken and Biden

The military will never behave
Generals have arms, and power they crave!
No one finds it odd
They need a Death Squad
In Myanmar, it is called "Burma Shave"

To beard, or not to beard, that is the question. Stay authentic :)) Myanmar is rich in mineral resources and struggles to hold on to its land.

Burma-Shave was an American brand of brushless shaving cream, famous for its advertising gimmick of posting humorous rhyming poems on small sequential highway roadside signs, especially on the long desert routes to Las Vegas!

Humorous format, but deeply troubling message...for the Myanmarans. I am hoping they can solve their problems before they spread.

Hello Rico ... there can't be anything worth mining for in Burma otherwise China, Russia, and the US would be stepping in to allow Burma beards to flourish - thanks Rico - Lindsay
