Inflection EP04: Myanmar Opposition’s Terrorism Targets Civilians, Schools

Inflection is a weekly show featuring Angelo Giuliano and Brian Berletic, discussing recent headlines and in-depth discussion of topics shaping the shift from West to East and unipolarism to multipolarism.

This week we will discuss the now-overt terrorism being carried out by the US-backed opposition in Myanmar including shootings and bombings targeting civilian locations.

This includes schools and the intimidation of teachers and students who refuse to join the opposition’s so-called “civil disobedience movement.” While US State Department media has tried to cast doubt on who is really behind these bombings - US government-funded Myanmar Now has quoted opposition leaders as openly admitting they are carrying out the attacks.
