21: Color Revolutions and How To Fight Them (RELEASED)

Agora Politics

A Color Revolution is a term coined by Russian military strategists for the preferred way the United States enacts regime change. The goal of staging a color revolution is to create conditions suitable to have a pretext for military intervention on behalf of the people, either internally or externally, to get rid of the current regime. So named because the protesting forces involved usually coalesce around a symbolic color of resistance, such as the Rose Revolution in Georgia in 2012, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in 2014,or the Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan in 2005, it is a specific playbook for regime change designed for a world in which the prospect of infinitely escalating mimetic violence must be off the table. The question then becomes how does one facilitate a people’s revolution, with minimal violence and cost.
