Inflection EP22: America’s Multi-Front War on China
The US continues its strategy of encircling & containing China. In recent years it is less encirclement and containing as it is trying to burn everything down around China and provoke it into a conflict the US thinks it can still win.
Angelo Giuliano and Brian Berletic discuss the ongoing crisis in Myanmar & Thailand, & how they are connected to Taiwan and this overarching US strategy.
