    If you look at “traditional” attempts at color revolution, most have failed miserably and the sponsors usually resorts to sending money and weapons by the shipload to the first wannabe dictator that showed up. To me, these gen-z revolutions and protests looks more like corrupt regimes struggling as russian, american and other foreign money dries up. Sort of like a lite version of Syria some time ago.

      that’s an interesting thought and that is how it usually goes, but i would not consider either nepal or mexico as needing money from either russia or usa besides normal trade relations. though at least the nepalese government seemed very corrupt indeed, which explains the outburst there.
