Ulson Gunnar — Continuity of Agenda: US Encirclement of China Continues Under Trump

The United States has pursued a decades-long policy of encircling, containing and if possible, undermining China as part of a larger strategy of achieving and maintaining what US policy papers call “primacy” over Asia.
US policy has led to deeply-rooted networks operating within China’s borders and along China’s geopolitical peripheries to divide and destabilize the immense and increasingly powerful Asian state. These networks are funded and supported regardless of who occupies the White House. While the rhetoric shifts from president to president regarding “why” the US is providing so-called “activists” and “opposition” fronts aid, the aid and the agenda it serves continues....
Longish, with a lot of detail. Backgrounder for those who want to understand what is happening in on the Grand Chessboard in the Great Game for dominance of the World Island through control of the Eurasian landmass.

If you watched the Oliver Stone's movie about the Ukraine you would have seen how easy it is for the US to stage colour revolutions in foreign countries. It's frightening to see how easy it is for the ruling elite to get people to fight in their wars for them. You realise that if they can do it in the Ukraine they could do it here too.

The US staged Operation Gladio in Europe to discredit the democratic non authoritarian left and innocent people went to prison because of it.
