demonizing and then destroying their government, replacing it with a cooperative one. We justify it by suggesting we are creating democratic regimes when in fact we are either seizing resources or opening their markets up to us. We are expert at it, including a proliferation of media-generated misinformation/propaganda. Look up the revolutions in Europe (which involved Soros among other U.S. backers) We are seeing it again and again and it looks like that's what's happening in Ukraine as well as Venezuela. We almost attacked Venezuela once before but backed down when Americans reacted in anger and disbelief. Then the media demonized Chavez, etc. Obviously we won't be finished with them until we have our guy running things. They have vast quantities of natural resources and are close by and no defenses to speak of. What a deal! Whether you agree with U.S. geopolitical strategy or not, at the very least I think it's important to recognize our part in what's going on.
