This is about the United States and the idea of a color revolution is silly whenever it is brought up, in China/Russia that term is their blanket term for "the deep state"

I feel like it was probably more known when that book came out, but as social media basically enabled the KGB to do this cheap as fuck most people forgot, and the amount of people connecting "russia interfering with elections" to "russia attempting entire gameplan to destabilize the west over years and years" dropped drastically

I actually thought this was known since like before. I think the USSR had a plan on the US that hinged on attacking race relations

They're just making sure that their people don't get any funny ideas, God forbid anyone reminds them that the people are the source of all political power.

Because they’ve been working to stir dissent in the US and it’s been their playbook since the late 90s

Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to [fuel instability](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Divide_and_rule "Divide and rule") and [separatism](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Separatism "Separatism") against [neoliberal](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Neoliberal "Neoliberal") globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke "[Afro-American racists](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Black_supremacy "Black supremacy")" to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the [United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Politics_of_the_United_States "Politics of the United States") and [Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Politics_of_Canada "Politics of Canada"). Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of [separatism](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Separatism "Separatism") and [ethnic](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Ethnic_conflict "Ethnic conflict"), [social](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Society_of_the_United_States "Society of the United States"), and [racial conflicts](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Racism_in_the_United_States "Racism in the United States"), actively supporting all dissident movements – [extremist](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Extremism "Extremism"), [racist](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Racism_in_the_United_States "Racism in the United States"), and [sectarian](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/Sectarianism "Sectarianism")groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support [isolationist tendencies in American politics](https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html/American_isolationism "American isolationism")".

Gee, wonder why Poland would want to have a “color revolution” after decades of being under Moscow’s thumb?

You know, the country Russia allied with literal Nazis to carve-up.

Trump and Republicans are trying to paint the protests as chaos and a race war as well.

In social media, Russian bots pretty much defend their online disinformation as revenge for stoking color revolutions. But I say to them, even if that is the case, what is wrong with promoting democracy? The Russian disinformation campaign is the reverse by stoking non-democratic ideals.
