Part 2 of 3 Part 1: https://youtu.be/x9ban3AI5oE?si=cgM2ZCxkeF7M8GZn Part 2: https://youtu.be/BTlUKqZSo4c?si=MLiS7Ip3bOmBqurF Part 3: https://youtu.be/tyXGuyJ5F2k?si=Ly05C_8sd9uSNMtY US foreign policy is driven by US corporate interests but often buried by public political theater and daily headlines designed specifically to distract away from the true nature and purpose of US foreign policy objectives. However, during US Senate and House hearings, there are relatively unfiltered discussions about these policies made public with a fair degree of confidence most Americans will NOT watch them. I provide a breakdown of one of these hearings (April 21, 2026) focused on encircling, containing, and confronting China within the Asia-Pacific region - contradicting many of the misconceptions created by Western media using the words of US Senators and their witnesses themselves to do so.
