YouTube wipes out thousands of propaganda channels linked to China, Russia

The American propaganda war against both China and Russia has been heating up mightily over the past 20 years. It has made it impossible to conduct sane and intelligent diplomatic discussion and negotiation about global issues, worsened divisions, and slowly pushed the world toward actual conflict.
The US has been almost solely responsible for this increase in the heat between the major powers. Why ?
This is not accidental. It underlies the US' work of trying to isolate Russia and China to shore up its own position in the rest of the world, and to help it justify hostile actions, from sanctions to regime change to actual military build up and action, not just on the Russian and Chines fronts, but around the world.
This is because the US, almost uniquely, sees conflict as both beneficial and necessary to its 'leadership' position. It needs to justify its massive military expenditures to keep the war industries profitable. This is even more necessary as it's other industries decline. And as those domestic industries decline, it's reliance on foreign economic predation also increases its needs to keep the rest of the planet in subjection, and reduce or eliminate the two major competitors for global influence and economic power. That their forms of influence (economic, political and military) are more benign than America's is irrelevant to the US whose methods rely on control rather than cooperation. That means Russia and China are even more dangerous as competitors and must be isolated by any means possible.
It is against this backdrop that the Ukraine situation must be measured. NATO became a tool to act as a wedge between Russia and the West. Russia knew that the heating propaganda campaign by the US was aimed at isolating it to prepare for increased action against it. China also realises this. The US ISN'T interested in sane resolution to disputes. It NEEDS the atmosphere to be red hot to AVOID sane discussion, because its policies, it's very prosperity and dominance, depend on conflict.
The tragedy is that both the EU and Russia have fallen into the US' game plan. That both are aware of the US strategy hasn't saved them. The big question now is if China, also very aware of the strategy and that rational discussion with the US is completely useless, will also fall into the US trap. It's Achilles heel is Taiwan, and it's very clear that the US has been ramping up the heat there too, hoping to create another 'Ukraine' there.
Will sanity and peace, or US conflict and dislocation rule the day ? China, and the world, have WAY bigger stakes to play for than Taiwan. Let's hope China can resist US provocation and play the long game - for EVERYONE's sake.
