The US-centralized empire just keeps throwing coup attempts at unabsorbed governments until they stick. The coup in Venezuela failed in 2002 and again in 2019, but they'll just keep attempting them until one takes hold. A kickboxer throws strikes in combinations
with the understanding that most attacks will miss or do minimal damage against a trained opponent, but eventually one will get through and score the knockout blow. Imperialist regime change agendas employ the same punches-in-bunches philosophy: just keep
attacking and undermining at every possible turn, and eventually something will stick.</p>

And the empire can afford to do this. When you have all the power and resources, you can bide your time, knowing that if the current attempt at toppling the government in a sovereign nation fails, there's always tomorrow.</p>

At a United Nations Security Council meeting last year, President Morales<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://lybio.net/evo-morales-bolivian-slams-president-trump-and-us-not-interested-in-democracy/speeches/" style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(37, 133, 178);" class="">summed
up the true nature</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>of America's role in the world very accurately, and, it turns out, very presciently.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 1em;" class="">
"I would like to say to you, frankly and openly here, that in no way is the United States interested in upholding democracy," Morales said. "If such were the case it would not have financed coups d’etat and supported dictators. It would not have threatened
with military intervention democratically elected governments as it has done with Venezuela. The United States could not care less about human rights or justice. If this were the case, it would have signed the international conventions and treaties that have
protected human rights.It would not have threatened the investigation mechanism of the International Criminal Court, nor would it promote the use of torture, nor would it have walked away from the Human Rights Council. And nor would it have separated migrant
children from their families, nor put them in cages."</p>

"The United States is not interested in multilateralism," Morales continued. "If it were interested in multilateralism it would not have withdrawn from the Paris Agreement or given the cold shoulder to the global compact on migration, it would not have launched
unilateral attacks, nor have taken decisions such as illegally declaring Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel. This contempt for multilateralism is motivated by the thirst of the United States for political control and for the seizing of natural resources."</p>

"Each time that the United States invades nations, launches missiles, or finances regime change, it does so behind a propaganda campaign which incessantly repeats the message that it is acting in the course of justice, freedom and democracy, in the cause of
human rights or for humanitarian reasons," Morales also said.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 1em;" class="">
"The responsibility of our generation is to hand over a fairer and more secure world to the following generation," Morales concluded. "We will only achieve this dream if we work together to consolidate a multipolar world, a world with common rules that are
respected by and defended from all the threats ranged against the United Nations."</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 1em;" class="">
Indeed, the only reason the US is able to wage its endless campaign of regime change agendas against unabsorbed governments is because the unipolar world order it rules has allowed it the power, resources and leisure to do so. A multipolar world would enable
the citizenry of this planet to have a say in what happens to them in a way that is not dictated by a few sociopaths in and around Washington, DC. A multipolar world is to democracy as a unipolar world is to monarchy. The citizens of the world should oppose
this unipolarity.</p>
