The US uses its veto [11] on the UN Security Council to protect its client state Israel amid the criminal bombardment [12] of Gaza, while Russia and China pose as protectors of the Palestinians. In Burma, the situation is precisely reversed: Russia and China protect [13] the brutal junta [14] on the Security Council, while the US and UK pose as protectors of the pro-democratic resistance. Yet another example [15] of how a global divide-and-rule racket is the essence of the state system. Bill Weinberg dissects the mutual imperial hypocrisy in Episode 206 [16] of the CounterVortex podcast [17].
