YANGON (Bernama-Xinhua): A total of 1,644 people died, 3,408 were injured, and 139 remained missing in a powerful earthquake in Myanmar, Xinhua reported, quoting the Information Team of the State Administration Council on Saturday night.

The 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit the southeast Asian country on Friday, with Mandalay, Bago, Magway, the northeastern Shan state, Sagaing, and Nay Pyi Taw among the hardest-hit regions.

Myanmar's State Administration Council Chairman Senior General Min Aung Hlaing arrived in Mandalay by helicopter on Saturday morning to inspect the severely affected area, according to Myanmar Radio and Television.

  1. USAID and other US Government agencies and sometimes US military are usually among the biggest and fastest aid responders to international calamities such as this, with their unmatched global logistics capabilities.

    This time round, USAID no longer exists...nothing , zilch is coming from the Yanks...No Thanks to Donald Fuck and ELon Musk MAGA DOGE fuckwits.

      USAID , together with the USS Abraham Lincoln Aircraft Carrier group provided aid to thousands of Indonesian Tsunami victims in 2004.

      You CCP Propagandist MORON only know how to demonise USAID.

    3. I saw news in Australia showing Wankee helicopters (from its carrier off Sumatran coast) just flying around on photo ops (for the folks back home) whilst a frantic sole Indon survivor on the devastated ground was waving his arms desperately for help. The chopper just flew around the poor Sumatran but frigg off after some (presumably) nice photo shots - t'was obvious to Aussie viewers it did frigg-all to help that survivor - all kerbau swanning by hypo wanks just to con their gullible folks at home

      So much irreplaceable aid provided to survivors of the 2004 tsusnami. You can't "Delete" the massive aid that was provided

      You guys are just totally gone in your hatred for the Americans.

    6. Ktemoc's ignorant sneering at the American choppers high speed and likely high altitude fly past exposes his obvious total lack of experience in crisis management.

      Well, I have...

      In any situation where the need for assistance is grave and likely exceeds available resources, you don't just jump in half-arsed.

      You survey where and how much assistance is needed, then the team assesses to come up with a game plan how and where best to deploy resources.
      Obviously, time is of the essence.

      You do Not jump in half-arsed.

      BTW, the USS Abraham Lincoln's nuclear reactors were producing the equivalent of 3 swimming pools of additional fresh water per day. In the early days after the tsunami, all power cut, pipes broken, no water supply,.many thousands of Indonesian survivors were kept alive by that alone.

      Most of the road system in Aceh that skirted the seaside were destroyed. Other aid agencies that arrived were unable to reach far flung villages , but the American heavy lift helicopters delivered many supplies that nobody else were able to do.

      Singapore AF later arrived with landing craft that could deliver aid from the sea...thank goodness for the Sings.

  3. Look like the war is real...trying to get as much chaos as possible in order to destabilize or take down the Don...San Andreas fault quaking and dropped off from California/CONUS is a favourite and wet dream for a Hollywood blockbuster treatment...

    7.0 Detailed Description
    USGS Scientist, Bob deGroot, briefly explains what happened during the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that occurred offshore of Mendocino, CA, on December 5, 2024.
    The event occurred in an area called the Triple Junction, where the Pacific, Juan de Fruca, and North American tectonic plates meet.
    Emergency systems activated and provided people living along the northern coast of California time to respond in the case of a tsunami, which did not happen. People throughout Oregon and California received alerts to their phones via shakealert.org

    🔍 What to know about USIP, yet another USAID-style soft power tool dismantled by DOGE

    Most of the US Institute of Peace’s 300 staff got pink slip emails Friday following drama involving DOGE and FBI agents and police storming the think tank’s extravagant $111M DC HQ after the White House accused “rogue bureaucrats” of trying to “hold agencies hostage.”

    📍Haven for NEOCONS and REGIME CHANGE operators

    🔴 Set up in 1984 and lavished with a $55M taxpayer-funded annual budget, USIP has been a haven for neocons, from War on Terror and Iraq architects Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle to Elliott Abrams and Robert Kagan, since its inception.

    🔴 After the 2018 death of Gene Sharp, who collaborated with the USIP, USIP praised the veteran regime change operator - whose work helped destabilize entire regions, as “a pioneer of people power.”

    📍Meddling in Russia and Ukraine

    🔴 In the 90s, USIP funded “training and capacity building” for political actors, media, NGOs and ‘civil society leaders’ in Russia, Ukraine and across Eastern Europe, and offered “policy guidance” to US diplomats in these countries.

    🔴 Forced to curtail its activities in Russia in the 2000s, USIP focused its work on Ukraine in the runup to the 2005 and 2014 coups.

    🔴 Once the conflict in the Donbass got underway in 2014, then-USIP chief Stephen Hadley urged the US to ramp up arms deliveries to Ukraine and send Russian troops home in “body bags.”

    📍SOFT POWER operations and post-invasion nationbuilding

    🔴 Besides Eastern Europe, USIP has run its soft power programs in countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East following the Arab Spring (Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen and Syria).

    🔴 In countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, the USIP’s activities have included nationbuilding in the wake of the US invasions, from civil society grants to training of the US-backed puppet governments’ officials.
