Anticipated US-Backed Protests in Indonesia Begin & How it fits into US Desire to Contain China
About this episode
The episode discusses the US-backed protests in Indonesia and their implications for US-China relations.
- while protests may believe they have legitimate anger and causes, the fact that US-funded organizations are directing and promoting the protests indicates yet another case of hijacked-grievances; - The US just demanded Indonesia open its airspace to US military aircraft, a demand Indonesia rejected; - US-funded media operations in Indonesia just 2 weeks ago attacked alternative media outlets who exposed US interference last year in Indonesia as a means of "pre-bunking" attempts to expose it again ahead of protests this year they knew were coming; - The protests are enhanced by the global energy and economic crisis deliberately created by the US war on Iran in West Asia; - US control over Indonesia would threaten the Malacca Strait, further constricting Chinese maritime shipping of both imported energy and exported goods; References: New Atlas - Information Warfare: Western-Funded Media Takes More Western Money To Cover Up US Meddling (regarding US-funded Indonesian-based media information operations) (May 26, 2026): https://youtu.be/5xkRhIonmtw?si=p-AY1QwrnZT0jAlB TEMPO - Tempo Responds to Prabowo's Claims of Serving Foreign Interests (Jan. 2026)…
