Description

The admitted election interference and political capture of these nations by the United States spanning the entire 21st century has changed the global geopolitical map in Washington’s favor. Yet this process still remains a poorly understood, under-reported, yet an incredibly powerful US tool in its pursuit of primacy and its “insuring no rivals develop.” Nations like Russia and China are clearly aware of this US method of infiltrating and capturing the political, educational, cultural, and informational space of targeted nations along their respective peripheries and beyond - leading to the subsequent hijacking and transformation of these nations’ military and economic power from serving self-preservation to serving as self-destructive proxies aimed at both nations. Both nations through government and media programs have published reports and documentaries detailing the process - but often long after US success. Unfortunately, the state media of both nations have repeatedly failed to “get ahead” of US infiltration and subversion - often with both Russian and Chinese state media simply repeating Western media narratives depicting protests organized by the US as “pro-democracy” or “anti-corruption” movements - thus amplifying US information warfare.

Don't forget the riots the US started in Indonesia, because they wouldn't provide permission for military fly-overs.. And they are starting to prepare the Philippines for a military battle with China..
