Update on US-backed fighting in Southeast Asia's Myanmar...
- Myanmar's military ousted a US-installed government in 2021, the US has backed armed militancy and terrorism across Myanmar ever since;
- Fighting has see-sawed, but has done so for decades as the US and British have backed armed ethnic groups since Myanmar gained independence following World War 2;
- The US has built parallel institutions both inside and beyond Myanmar's borders to politically capture and compromise the nation;
- US-backed militants have relied on public relations stunts including symbolic drone and rocket strikes on the capital and the temporary capture of frontier towns where government forces are spread thinnest;
- The conflict is ultimately part of a wider agenda of encircling and containing China;
- China's Belt and Road Initiative runs through Myanmar and has been repeatedly attacked by US-backed militant groups;
- The conflict is just one part of a wider global conflict the US is waging in order to reassert its unipolar "international order;"
