As for the last three decades, there have been more than 40 instances of such interference, including cases of elections meddling and fraud, coup d\u2019etats and attempts to trigger armed conflicts. To be more specific, the American alternative media site AlterNet managed to establish 80 instances of Western interference over the period from 1953 to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This basically means Washington won\u2019t think twice when it sees an opportunity to bring a government down, imposing its will on other countries through all sorts of non-profit organizations and intelligence agencies with the latter acting with diplomatic immunity. These days, pretty much across the globe it\u2019s a running joke that there will never be a coup d\u2019etat in Washington as there\u2019s no US embassy there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there\u2019s a lot of variables in one\u2019s fomenting of public unrest that could eventually open the floodgates to a \u201ccolor revolution.\u201d It\u2019s impossible to confront dissent through the use of brute force, as history has shown us on multiple occasions. Therefore, as the United States carries on targeting one government after another in a desperate bid to preserve its so-called primacy upon the global political stage, the hidden springs from whence comes another political trap are increasingly visible for those who study history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Coup D\u2019etats to Soft Power: Dissecting Washington\u2019s Color Revolution Techniques&nbsp; Over the last hundred years Washington has\u00a0interfered in the internal affairs of at least 50 countries for a total of 130 individual cases.
