Copyright AFP 2017-2020. All rights reserved. Multiple Facebook posts shared tens of thousands of times in February 2021 claim the United Nations “declared war” on Myanmar four weeks after a military coup. The posts, which shared two photos of US military personnel, claim 180 countries have committed to join the war effort. The claims, however, are "completely false", according to the UN. The images shared in posts are generic photos of US Air Force personnel that predate the Myanmar military coup in February 2021. The claims were published on Facebook here on February 28, 2021. The post has been shared more than 14,000 times. Screenshot of the misleading post, taken on March 1, 2021
