Myanmar Continues Fight Against Washington's Other Proxy War
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;"
Doesn't the Communist Party of Burma support the rebels? In fact, aren't they literally part of the rebels?
I am sure they have their reasons but personally i can't help but be suspicious of any political force regardless what it calls itself that aligns itself with US regime change goals and that sabotages the economic development and integration of its region. How does this conflict and chaos benefit the people of Myanmar? At best this is just naive idealism. If the rebels succeed it won't be communists who end up in charge, we will just see another US proxy like Aung San Suu Kyi back in power. It may even result in a total balkanization of the country caused by ethnic separatism. Who does that benefit other than the imperialists?
