On an practically daily basis,
representatives of the present political élite of Washington and US
media voice accusations of Russia, China and some other countries which
allegedly try “to interfere” with the internal affairs of the US. At the
same time, Washington does not mention that the budget-financed
US National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has been officially operating
for 35 years already, as well as other organisations of the kind, whose
objective is to influence the policy of other countries. One of the NED
founders, Allen Weinstein, said: “Much of what we are doing today used
to be done in secret by the CIA 25 years ago.”
Over the recent decades, against the
backdrop of the comprehensive propaganda campaign conducted by
Washington within the country and abroad about the alleged “advantages
of the American democracy,” the American élites adopted the idea of a
certain special role of the US, a sort of American Messianism, of its
right to interfere in any matters and countries worldwide with impunity.
According to the research of the
American Carnegie Mellon University, from the end of World War II to
2000, the US interfered with elections in
45 countries of the world at least 80 times, which does not include the
organisation of military coups and color revolutions.
The American website AlterNet, found at
least 80 cases of local and regional conflicts (since 1953) in which
Washington participated. AlterNet also notes that, historically, about a
half of all revolutions organized with the US failed, and success was
never a sure-fire thing.
In the modern history, the majority of
instances of US intervention in the politics of other states fell on the
Cold War period. Back then, Washington actively sought to strengthen
its geopolitical positions on the international scene, regularly trying
to secure a pro-American government in this or that country. Since, in
the wake of World War II, the list of European players was generally
finalized, the states of Asia, Africa and South America became the usual
arena of the US activities....https://journal-neo.org/2019/08/17/us-seeks-to-become-world-political-schemers/
