Description

It is clear the US has decided to use the same sort of armed proxies it has already reordered the Arab World with to launch attacks on Chinese BRI projects without necessitating direct US military action - thus advancing its geopolitical objectives and maintaining plausible deniability at the same time. The emerging pattern is a series of US-engineered dirty wars launched all along China’s peripheries specifically to damage the flow of overland energy, raw materials, and finished exports at the same time the US is now openly imposing an expanding maritime blockade on China’s Russian and Iranian allies which in turn directly targets and blockades China itself - considering both nations count Beijing as their closest and most important economic and trade partner.

I’m also a veteran that was building vehicles on the border of Syria for Isis. Of course I didn’t know at the time, but I just thought a hilux with a 50cal in the bed was badass to build. Years later I was horrified seeing what those exact trucks were used for. Talk about radicalizing someone. Thank you for your service 🤷‍♀️ and what you do now even more. The world needs to know the true evil we’re seeing.

EVERY accusation the U.S. Government directs to others is a confession of guilt.

Difficult to comprehend that actual “people” sit down in Washington and think up ways to kill innocent people because they believe US has a divine right to rule the world.

Exchange "Terrorists" for "Cartels," and it is EXACTLY the same playbook done in Latin America
