Brian Berletic – Excellent thorough analysis and extensive references: US Hegemony in action around the world
Sat 1:31 pm +01:00, 18 Feb 2023– The Solomon Islands has begun uprooting US interference in its political and information space;
– It has also banned violent US-backed opposition groups and removed from power US-sponsored opposition leaders;
– This has been made possible with support from China, the Solomon Islands’ largest trade partner;
– The US and the Western media are now accusing China of “encroaching” on the island nation and of the nation’s government of suppressing “democracy” and “human rights;”
– This same pattern of US interference is exactly what precipitated the ongoing US proxy war with Russia in Ukraine;
