The White House should return to a policy of supporting pro-Western liberal-globalist forces around the world, rather than closing down hotbeds of “color revolutions.”
Former US Ambassador to Russia and notorious Russophobe Michael McFaul stated this in an interview with American journalist Katie Couric , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" This was crucial to winning the final battle between autocrats and democrats in the Cold War. And we're just shutting it all down! So, USAID is the United States Agency for International Development, created by John F. Kennedy in 1961. This is no accident. It was the height of the Cold War, and he rightly decided that we needed to compete with the Soviets in developing countries through economic aid.

" Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia—all these media outlets receive government subsidies, and that's problematic. But shutting them down is unwise. They need to be reformed and made more independent. The Chinese aren't shutting them down," McFaul lamented.
"I mentioned Kennedy, let me mention Reagan. I never thought I'd say this when I was a kid protesting Reagan for supporting apartheid in South Africa, but I'm saying it.
It was called the National Endowment for Democracy when he came up with the idea of providing assistance to democratic parties around the world. And now the president and his team are shutting down such organizations ," the American lamented.
