Short answer: a false one.
The side of it reported in the media will often involve lots of flags (including foreign flags like the US and UK flags) and public protests about an issue that will appeal to westerners, e.g. ‘freedom’, gender equality, sexual equality, etc. The aim is to topple the current leadership and replace them with a West-friendly candidate. The colour revolution gives the appearance of popular support.
The current leadership isn’t necessarily ‘good’ or ‘bad’ or ‘democratically’ elected; but they will not be friendly to the West. Maybe it works the other way around, too, but I don’t remember any global south countries doing a colour revolution in the global north.
Hopefully someone else has a more theoretical answer.
I hope you all listened to me last week and didn’t buy bitcoin when I joked that it was about to plummet.
Enjoy the grass and hope the projects go well.
The IMF will give advice whether you ask for it or not. Then all you have to do is the exact opposite and you’ll likely be voted in forever with high public support.
Edit: I see @REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml got there before me lol
That could be a big factor.
Statista suggests 22.7million people, or 9% are millionaires: https://www.statista.com/topics/3467/millionaires-in-the-united-states/#topicOverview
I wonder how this accounts for family wealth, as well.
Did the IMF offer a similar figure to help in Xinjiang, no strings attached, or?
