VIDEO: Myanmars civil war.. will the United States escalate a proxy war against China? by Finian Cunningham

The civil war in Myanmar is set to become a lot more bloody and chaotic - if the United States follows through on plans to massively intervene in this conflict.

A civil war has been raging for three years, although the nation has always been gripped by inter-ethnic violence since independence in 1948 as a legacy of British colonialist abuse.

KJ Noh is a seasoned political analyst and commentator on the Asia-Pacific region. He says the United States is already heavily involved in fanning the civil war in this Southeast Asian nation because Washington,D.C. views it as a critical opportunity to destabilize Chinas strategic interests.

See this informative background article here.

China has invested hugely in its southern neighbor with a 2,000-kilometer land border. Myanmar is a vital partner in Beijings ambitious Belt and Road Initiative projects to boost global trade.

This makes Myanmar a priority target for Washington,D.C. to provoke and destabilize China.

See this previous article on SCF which looks at recent calls by deep-state think-tanks in the United States urging for more military intervention by Washington,D.C. in Myanmars civil war.

KJ Noh has written for Asia Times, Counterpunch, Dissident Voice, and other alternative media outlets. He discusses how the United States has used Myanmar (formerly Burma) for decades as a launchpad for proxy wars against Chinas interests, going back to the Korean War (1950-53).

Western media, in hock to United States imperialist interests, have distorted the conflict in Myanmar as the fault of Chinas alleged interference when, in reality, the opposite is true.

It is Washington,D.C. that has continually meddled in the internal affairs of Myanmar, including helping to precipitate a military coup in the country in February 2021.

China is invested in creating a stable, peaceful neighbor. Beijing is trying to mediate a national settlement with all the parties. But as long as the United States keeps meddling in Myanmar, the conflict is liable to become protracted and much worse.

The Western corporate-controlled media are portraying the civil war as a simplistic binary situation of "pro-democracy groups" versus a military junta backed by China. This is a gross misrepresentation. But such a distortion is usefully providing the United States political cover for increasing its malign interference.

KJ Noh says the United States is not interested in a peaceful, democratic Myanmar. It is only interested in exploiting the suffering of the people as a way to damage China.

Peace is possible in Myanmar. But not while the United States continues gearing up to intervene with "humanitarian aid" (military aid) and self-serving media lies.

Otherwise, Myanmar is shaping up to be another endless war for United States imperialism and Americas next proxy war against China.
