Anticipated US-Backed Protests in Indonesia Begin & How it fits into US Desire to Contain China

- 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;
