Inflection EP09: US-backed Subversion vs Cuba, US-backed Terrorism vs China and Pakistan

Inflection is a weekly show featuring Angelo Giuliano and Brian Berletic, discussing recent headlines and in-depth discussion of topics shaping the shift from West to East and unipolarism to multipolarism.

This week we discuss US-engineered subversion in Cuba and US-backed terrorism targeting China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Pakistan.

We also talk about the BBC being caught doctoring images in an article about “China’s disinformation drive,” and then deleting them to cover it up.
