That there is foreign interference and influence in those protests is a given (and from everywhere, not only the US), but I really dislike when people reduce those protests to only that. That's like saying the US independence war was only a power struggle between France and the UK, it's true that it was that in part, and it's true that without France's support the US wouldn't have won, but it was much more than only a conflict between the two European countries. And it's the same with all those revolts that you clump up together as if it's only the US/West wish and doing. I realize the US example is not perfectly the same, but you get the gist of what I'm saying. And I also realize you didn't explicitly say it was "only" US/west actions, but the way you phrased your post didn't leave much ambiguity on what you meant.
