I'm worried, What happened to the lessons of the last century? I had a grandmother who lived through both world wars and lived to own and use a smartphone.
Much important history has faded from living memory. We mock, harass and intimidate our historians and philosophers.
We for get the optimism and courage of our parents' generation who stood up for civil rights, equality and social justice. We look the other way as hard-won rights are eroded. We sit idly by while we let tyrants exploit us and dismantle our democratic structures and rob us of our sustenance.
At times like these I turn to popular music for inspiration and wisdom. I would like to share one particular retrospectively enthusiastic piece I've recently discovered from more optimistic times and I'd like to think it hasn't been in vain quite yet. We are still the human race.
It's by Montrose (also a Scottish town) and is called Space Station #5 and goes like this:
Start, with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold
And a new star is born
Space and time makin' love
Now, I'm sure that's the sort of thing Homer Simpson had on his 8 track in his car back in the day.
I don't care. It's much better than war.

And I ignored that because it was and remains irrelevant and yes, I sure do doubt it. Your first link merely notes that Russia shut down a bunch of US-supported organizations - no evidence given that would support their use in your alleged "colour revolutions". Similarly, so what if someone complains because Trump cut funding. Every dollar spent by the US government has a vocal constituent/recipient. Someone would have complained no matter what he cut.
In other words, you concede this point. I see, for example, an absence of Euromaidan protester interviews that might theoretically support your flimsy argument!
