Ukraine was the last time that actually worked. They haven’t managed one since.

Maybe not color revolutions per se but there has been places where they have gotten their puppets into power, such as Ecuador, Armenia, Argentina and Pakistan.

Yeah, they still have some influence in the world, but it’s getting weaker by the day.

Pakistan and Armenia, maybe not full colour coups but still.

It’s true, they did manage to get their puppets in power, but their position is rather fragile. The power of the color revolutions lies in getting a sufficient percentage of the public to go along with the narrative. Both in Pakistan and Armenia the people seem to largely understand what’s happening, so I don’t think the current situation will last.

We shouldn’t underestimate the US. It has been successful precisely because of its ability to do covert manipulation instead of just relying on brute force to maintain its empire. Even though US strength has degraded, it can still do damage around the world.

Sure, but their power is in decline now, and people are starting to get wise to their tricks. Ukraine is also serving as a living example of what it means to be used by the US. There was a recent survey conducted by Singapore showing that majority of Southeast Asians would side with China over the US. At the end of the day most people just want to live their lives in peace, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that US stands in the way of that.
