The US regime-change network has kicked into high gear targeting Myanmar. And Silicon Valley social media corporations are functionally an arm of the US government, pushing regime-change propaganda on its behalf.

This is yet another battle in Washington's new cold war on China

There is obviously an astro-turfed regime-change campaign targeting Myanmar. A bunch of US-based troll accounts created in February 2021 spread nonstop propaganda calling to "implement R2P," demanding Western intervention under the imperialist "Responsibility to Protect" doctrine

A ton of these "Save Myanmar" troll accounts were created in February 2021, and they are amplifying US government propaganda from Radio Free Asia (a CIA cutout) while calling nonstop to "implement R2P" - just like the imperialist interventions targeting Yugoslavia, Libya, & Syria

This is a textbook liberal imperialist "humanitarian interventionist" campaign.

Now the Western government-backed Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect is demanding "R2P" imperialist intervention in Myanmar.

It did the same for Libya and Syria

Noam Chomsky spoke at the UN about the "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P) doctrine as "a weapon of imperial intervention at will":

"virtually every use of force in international affairs has been justified in terms of R2P, including the worst monsters"

In 2020, US coup puppet Juan Guaidó also invoked the imperialist "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P) to demand (even more) foreign intervention in Venezuela, to overthrow its government
