so i dunno why you are harping on these points

for years they had ties

and for years no coup happened

this is central to understanding CIA strategy you dimwit

they foster relationships with right wing groups all over the world so that when an opportune time comes, they can mobilise their allies very quickly to take action

this has been their strategy all over the world

indonesia is just a great example

but theres dozens more

and thats what the NED was doing in HK all these years

they build up the bases of "democracy" groups

train them in subversive activities

and when the time is right

they mobilise

the HK protests happened almost instantly

normally movements take awhile to build up support

but this is just standard strategy dude and its backed up by empirical evidence of the CIA's history

anyone who has studied american foreign policy in any depth finds this as standard analysis

Clearly you've read and studied far more on this than I have - I can't really comment much on most of that

Just what I've been saying above

And while US interventionist history makes it more plausible, I think you're putting too much weight on how much the US "influenced" these protests

another thing you guys should notice is how the HK protests are all over the news

but the yellow vest protests arent

i disagree with that tbh

i'd like the yellow vests to get much more notice

yes but why do you think they arent getting the attention

media narratives

Lol there are some pretty big differences between them

doesn't suit the EU empire

exactly

EU empire?

you live in europe?

the EU ....

yep

kk idk how its covered there

the EU dont like bad news about their great EU dream

so idk

Pretty sure the HK protests have far more participants, far more danger, and far greater stakes.

tbh thats true

yellow vests are smaller in numbers

but i would like to them highlight it
