Bolton, who has always been outspoken, has caused great trouble to the United States by telling the truth this time.
The official, who served as the national security assistant of the Trump administration in the United States, admitted in an interview with the US media on the 12th that he "helped to plan coups in other countries". Although Bolton did not specify what "coups" he had engaged in, he mentioned the attempted coup in Venezuela in 2019.

Bolton’s telling the truth has aroused international public outcry, especially those countries and regions that have been poisoned by the American black hand. Former Bolivian President Evo Morales condemned on social media on the 13th that Bolton’s remarks showed that the United States was "the greatest enemy of democracy".
In fact, it is no secret that the United States has long played the role of "world policeman" to plan coups in other countries. However, it is still unusual for Bolton, as a former senior official of the US government, to admit brazenly. Rather than saying that Bolton "left the door open", it is better to say that this is the natural expression of hegemonic thinking in the bones of American politicians — — They pretend to be the guardians of "democracy" and "human rights", ignore the basic norms of international law and international relations, and take it for granted that it is natural to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs and overthrow other countries’ political power. In an interview with Al Jazeera in 2008, Bolton said that planning foreign coups is sometimes "a necessary means to advance American interests".
Speaking of it, the black history of American interference in other countries’ internal affairs is quite long. In June this year, the history channel of American A&E TV network listed many actions that the United States participated in overthrowing foreign governments for more than a century. For example, as early as January 1893, the United States instigated a coup by American expatriates in the Hawaiian Kingdom, and also dispatched military support to overthrow the Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii regime. In 1898, the United States annexed Hawaii, and in 1959, Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States. In 1993, a century after the coup, the US government formally apologized for the coup that illegally overthrew the Queen of Hawaii.
As the United States annexed more overseas territories, it began to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs frequently — — Especially those countries that are regarded as "backyards". According to incomplete statistics, since the 20th century, the United States has planned dozens of successful or unsuccessful coups in Latin America. The Cato Institute wrote in April this year that in the past two years, American-trained military officers have planned at least four coups in West Africa, which occurred in Burkina Faso (2022), Guinea (2021) and Mali (2020 and 2021).
After careful observation, it is not difficult to see that there are many common methods used by American politicians to plan foreign coups: either directly wage war or smash other countries with military sticks; Either instigate the "color revolution" and incite social unrest in order to realize regime change in other countries; Either launch the "proxy war", one of the purposes is to subvert the political power of other countries.
First of all, look at the former, there are countless. For example, in 1999, NATO, led by the United States, bypassed the UN Security Council and carried out continuous bombing of Yugoslavia for 78 days. Four years later, the United States launched a war against Iraq and overthrew Saddam Hussein’s regime without the authorization of the UN Security Council. In 2011, the United States once again led NATO countries to air strike Libya on the grounds of "protecting civilians", and the Qaddafi regime fell … … Some of these countries forcibly transformed by the United States are still mired in war and poverty.
In addition to military means, the US government is also good at playing the card of "color revolution". The CIA and some other institutions used financial support to export American values, infiltrate and destroy and incite the so-called "democratic movement" to target countries and regions.
From plotting to overthrow the elected Iranian leader mohammad mosaddegh in 1953 to plotting the "Bay of Pigs Incident" in 1961 in an attempt to overthrow the Cuban government led by Fidel Castro, there are CIA figures behind it. The National Endowment for Democracy, known as the "Second CIA", has been involved in a series of events such as the "Rose Revolution" in Georgia, the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine and the "Arab Spring", and is a recidivist who has plagued other countries.
The US Interception website recently revealed that the US government launched the "proxy war" through Project 127e, exposing another means by which the United States interfered in other countries’ internal affairs and even subverted other countries’ political power. The result is that the "agent" and the target country are in turbulent conflict, which makes the regional situation more and more chaotic.
Bolton, the "big mouth", just said something that some politicians in the United States and the interest groups behind them could not say. If the United States is the source of world turmoil, then Bolton and others are traders who create and export wars to the outside world. These American politicians whose hands are stained with the blood of other people deserve to be investigated and tried by United Nations agencies and punished according to law! Their so-called "experience" is irrefutable evidence!
