This video dives deep into the extensive evidence linking US government funding to the organizations creating the pretext for the protests in Nepal, creating the template used by the protesters, and the tools they used to rapidly overthrow a government of a nation of 30 million people in less than a work week.

The US has announced plans to ship 3,350 air-launched Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) missiles to Ukraine in yet another escalation amid a war the current Trump administration vowed during the 2024 US presidential campaign to end in “24 hours.”

The details of the program, however, are far more underwhelming than the headlines announcing them, with the first 1,000 missiles being sent over the course of 2 years. Because the missile is air-launched, there will also be limits imposed on its use by the number of warplanes and pilots available to fly sorties delivering it.

Despite campaigning to end US regime change wars abroad, President Trump has now waged war against both Yemen and Iran, continued the US proxy war in Ukraine against Russia, and is now mobilizing the US military to threaten (again) Venezuela with regime change in Latin America.

The pretext is allegations of "narco-terrorism" and claims Venezuela is flooding US borders with illicit narcotics. However, the same Trump administration creating this pretext has also claimed that not only has the US border been "secured," illegal narc-oterrorist drug gangs operating inside the US have been rounded up.

Both can't be true - and in fact, neither is.

The US government admittedly overthrew the government of Serbia in 2000 through secret funding and meetings between the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and Serbian opposition leaders.

Today, the same network of NED-funded organizations are promoting protests across Serbia, citing legitimate criticism of the current government to mobilize crowds, incite violence, and divide and destroy the country again.

Regardless of what one's opinion is of the current Serbian government, and how deeply one believes the US-EU has supported it in the past, for whatever the US government is determined to target and undermine it today to replace it with either a more obedient client regime, or greater sociopolitical dysfunction and division than before.

To determine a protest's legitimacy, one must go beyond slogans and superficial conclusions drawn about either the opposition or the targeted government, and instead, name organizations involved, and trace their money back both to their true donors, and the true purpose of the protests themselves.

Violent protests unfolding in the Southeast Asian nation of Indonesia represent a carbon-copy of similar US-sponsored protests targeted the region in recent years, from Hong Kong to Thailand and Myanmar.

Media organizations vocally promoting the protests are directly funded by the US government through the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and mainstream Western media including both US and British state media.

Indonesia is being targeted by US destabilization for refusing to transform itself into a battering ram against China, and instead becoming the first ASEAN nation to join BRICS along side China and other members.

"Following the recent meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska and the following meeting of European leaders, the Ukrainian president and President Trump in Washington, a predictable US policy had begun to take shape.

As stated as early as February of this year by US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, speaking to European leaders at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, Europe was tasked with taking over Washington’s proxy war with Russia in Ukraine by ramping up NATO spending, arms production, and the transfer of material support to Ukraine, allowing the US to pivot to the Asia-Pacific prioritizing the containment of China there..."

- The US has a stated policy of using division of labor and strategic sequencing in dealing with both Russia and China and an admitted "reality of scarcity" requiring the shifting of the Ukraine conflict onto Europe and an attempt to freeze it using Western forces and a buffer zone in much the way Syria was frozen (and eventually overthrown);

- A US-Europe split has been manufactured to sell division of labor to the European public who would otherwise reject fighting America's proxy war for solely US interests;

- The upcoming summit will result in a Minsk 3.0 framework at best, and at worst poses as a trap endangering the Russian president's security;
