As U.S. Steps Back From Myanmar, Russia and China Step In

Russia and China are propping up Myanmar’s military dictatorship and asserting greater control over the nation as the United States pulls back from the region, the Irrawaddy reported Wednesday.

Oppressed: The military junta ruling Myanmar came to power in early 2021 after a coup toppled the democratically elected government led by Aung San Suu Kyi. In the time since, the junta has not held elections, arbitrarily detaining opponents and preventing citizens from accessing humanitarian aid.

Though President Donald Trump’s administration has not yet detailed a policy toward Myanmar, it appears it will avoid trying to resolve the nation’s domestic issues.

Supported: Russia and China, meanwhile, are arming and funding this dictatorship’s civil war against domestic opposition. They remain unchallenged as they prop up this puppet regime.

China is Myanmar’s largest trading partner and maintains a strong economic presence in the nation. Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping met with Myanmar’s junta chief Min Aung Hlaing in Moscow on May 9.

Russian President Vladimir Putin met with him on March 4, praising Russia and Myanmar’s “steadily developing” relationship.

Asian axis: As the U.S. steps back from global leadership, alternative powers are filling the vacuum. As the Bible prophesies, Russia and China are building a massive Asian alliance that will play a major role in the next world war. Their increasing influence over Myanmar is just one area where we can see this Asian bloc being established.
