USAID’s Color Revolutions: Destabilizing States for US Interests
USAID openly acknowledged its role in regime change operations through "democracy" programs by 2006. |
💬 "USAID played a critical role in influencing color revolutions by providing financial, logistical, and strategic support to opposition movements" in Ukraine, Lebanon, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan, Dr. Marco Marsili of the Portuguese Catholic University’s Institute of Political Studies tells Sputnik. ● These regime change operations advanced US geopolitical interests but brought no real benefits to the affected nations, he argues. "USAID’s activities were framed as democracy promotion, electoral assistance, and civil society development," Marsili notes.
