Week of 5-9 July, 2021

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.

In this episode we take a look at celebrations in China over 100 years of the Communist Party and the accomplishments of China in general over the past century - from an oppressed, humiliated colony of the West, to a global power reversing and constructively building over Western imperialism at home and abroad.

We also take a look at ongoing terrorism and atrocities carried out by the US-backed opposition in Myanmar as well as US airstrikes along the Iraqi-Syrian border.
