After the collapse of the Soviet Union, especially in the twenty-first century, "color revolutions" quietly arose around the world, and all the countries that occurred in "color revolutions" were damaged.
Why are "color revolutions" frequent?
The United States, the main country of inventors, has tried and tested, without investing troops and missiles, and there are no casualties. The United States only needs to encourage the young people of some countries to make trouble, and then the United States takes the opportunity to make things bigger, and then there is a riot in the country, and the regime of a country is subverted, and there is almost no cost. Why not?
In 2019, there was also a "color revolution" in the South American country of Venezuela, and Guaido, the self-proclaimed president who attracted the world's attention, was active at the time. But in the end, the "color revolution" failed in Venezuela, Venezuela is lucky, but there is a reason why the country can avoid the "Yange".
I. Chávez's "old base"
Venezuela was once a wealthy country in South America because it was rich in energy. Venezuela is also an extremely anti-American country, and like Cuba, it is a "thorn in the side" of the United States, which does not want a country similar to a socialist system to appear in the "back garden".
South America is the "back garden" of the United States, and the United States can easily solve any problem by force, but the United States will not do so. Historically, the CIA manipulated Cuban exiles to conduct a "Bay of Pigs landing" that ultimately failed. Why has the United States not personally sent troops to Cuba for more than 70 years?
In the eyes of the United States, sending troops to Cuba will cause global discontent. Such a small country, there is no need to use war means, as long as the blockade collapses. Similarly, the United States is playing the same way against Venezuela, not using force, but only using conspiracies to subvert these small countries. This is the case in Bolivia.
When Chávez came to power, he admired the Cuban system and worked to build a socialist state. This brought to the attention of the United States, which had staged a coup in Venezuela with the intention of ousting Chávez from power. But the coup failed, and Chávez hated the United States to the bone and strengthened his overall leadership over Venezuela.
When Chávez came to power, Venezuela grew rapidly, catching up with the era of oil booms. With this wave of dividends, Venezuela also became a rich country for a time. Chávez also won popular support.
Under Chávez's rule, Venezuela dared to call the United States. Although the United States still wants to bring down Venezuela, chávez is too tightly controlled, and some non-governmental organizations funded by the United States have to carry out activities in Venezuela secretly and secretly train some opposition figures in Venezuela. But these things are done with great caution, and if they are not accidentally discovered, they will be banned. When Chávez was in power, he evaded assassinations against him many times and smashed coup attempts against him many times, making it difficult for the US intelligence network to gain a foothold in Venezuela.
It was under Chávez's rule that venezuelans supported the government even in difficult times. Because Maduro, as a descendant of Chávez, is recognized in the eyes of the Venezuelan people, the people are reluctant to let him step down.
Second, Maduro won the hearts and minds of the people
After Chávez's death, Maduro came to power. Venezuela has ushered in a difficult period, and the days of Venezuela's survival on energy have passed. Moreover, Maduro has also been suppressed by the United States, which has directly intervened in the Venezuelan regime from secretly cultivating the opposition to openly manipulating the opposition against Maduro. In the eyes of Americans, Venezuela is a dish on the plate, ready to eat at any time.
In early 2019, Venezuelan opposition leader Guaido suddenly declared himself interim president and demanded re-elections for the country. The operation was carried out under the control of the United States. Soon the United States and Canada and other Western countries supported Guaido, and the United States even publicly stated that it would not rule out using force to strike Venezuela.
Faced with the tandem between the United States and the domestic opposition, Maduro announced that Venezuela and the United States have severed diplomatic relations. Since then, there have been continuous acts of rebellion by the opposition in Venezuela. This is the "color revolution" that took place in Venezuela.
Throughout the process, the NED in the United States played a role. Founded in 1982, the NGO is the main organization funded by the U.S. government, and it is said that most of the funding comes from the U.S. government and Congress, as well as some large multinational corporations, and the government background is obvious. As Weinstein, one of the founders of the NED, admitted that the NED is the "white glove" of the CIA, no different from the intelligence organization, and has a special training base for people who are engaged in democracy movements.
The NED did not dare to operate publicly when Chávez was president, and the organization secretly carried out behind Venezuela's back, constantly providing cash to the Venezuelan opposition, and also inviting them to visit the United States under various pretexts, conducting intelligence communication, and conducting centralized training for them. The main training is how to overthrow the current regime. Guaido is said to have received training from the NED on several occasions. According to public information, 1 month before the Coup in Venezuela, Guaido secretly visited the United States and planned a "color revolution" program with the United States. When he returned home, he proclaimed himself "president", and the United States subsequently expressed its support.
The United States' suppression of Venezuela is also bottomless, and even the democratically elected president Maduro does not recognize it, which shows that the United States has a lot of hooliganism in the use of "color revolution" techniques, and we must be careful. Anyway, the United States can say that the white is black, and if you don't admit it, it will be suppressed by sanctions.
The United States then imposed sanctions on Maduro and froze all venezuelan funds outside the country in an attempt to completely disrupt the democratically elected government and drive Maduro away.
But the United States did not expect that Venezuela is very tough, Maduro is not afraid of US oppression, in February 2019 organized Venezuela's largest military exercise, to the United States to show the Determination not to hesitate to fight a war. Maduro also said Venezuela will invest money to ensure that the country's prevention and control system is functioning properly.
In addition, Venezuela's supreme court also declared Maduro to be the legitimate president, and Guaido's "president" is fictitious and unconstitutional.
Maduro's determination has embarrassed the United States, and if it sends troops to fight Venezuela, the United States does not want to do so; If this war is not wanted, the "color revolution" launched by the United States will obviously fail.
The reason why Maduro smashed the "color revolution" in the United States is mainly because he won the hearts of the people, the Venezuelan people supported Maduro, and Putin expressed disgust with the US approach. And Maduro's counterattack was quick and decisive, and the counterattack was in place. The most important point, Maduro won the support of the army, which is the most crucial.
Third, the big countries intervene
In 2019, after the civil unrest in Venezuela, the outside world pinched the sweat for Maduro, and some people even thought that Maduro was not far from stepping down, and even could become the "second Saddam Hussein" or "the second Gaddafi". Unexpectedly, Maduro not only survived, but also ensured the stability of the country.
Although Venezuela is now suffering from the US suppression and sanctions, and the quality of life of the people is not high, the people support Maduro and believe in Maduro.
In fact, when Maduro was fighting with the United States, Russia also intervened. When Maduro counterattacked the United States, after the domestic unrest, Russia came to the aid of Maduro and even sent troops to parachute into Venezuela. The United States is also afraid of Russia's high-profile involvement in Venezuela.
Of course, the United States knows Russia's strength, if the future war starts, Russia continues to send troops into Venezuela, a direct confrontation with the United States, the future Russia will establish a base in Venezuela. In the American mind, they do not want to confront Russia directly. As a result, the "color revolution" launched by the United States against Venezuela was defeated, also thanks to Russia's support.
