 "During the Cold War Washington was concerned about communists fomenting street protests that they could turn into revolutions, with groomed politicians waiting in the wings to take over the new government, thus expanding the Soviet empire. Today this is precisely what Washington does. We recently witnessed this operation in Ukraine and now it seems to be underway in Macedonia," Paul Craig Roberts, American economist and political expert, says in his article "A Color Revolution for Macedonia."
According to Roberts, "now the same fate seems in store for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, and Macedonia."

Roberts says that the Macedonian government refused to participate in Washington's sanctions against Russia and supports the Russian Turkish Stream natural gas pipeline that will deliver Russian natural gas to Europe via Turkey to the Greek border.

The expert writes that Greece is being looted by the European Union, the IMF, and the German and Dutch banks. "Consequently, Greece is being pushed into Russia's arms as Russian support is Greece's only alternative to the crippling austerity that the EU is forcing upon the Greek people. Macedonia sits between Greece and Serbia, a country with no love lost for Washington and the EU as a result of Serbia's dismemberment by Washington and NATO aggression." 

"Washington fears the flow of Russian energy, over which Washington would have no control, into its European vassal states via Russian allies in Europe," he says.

"If Washington can grab Macedonia, Washington can stand between Greece and Serbia and perhaps persuade Greece to align with a Washington-supported natural gas pipeline that would supply Europe from Azerbaijan, thus reducing Russia's influence in Europe. Macedonia has an Albanian minority population.  Albania is a Washington vassal and NATO member. Washington has aligned with the dissident Albanians, demonstrators are in the streets, the Macedonian government is accused of corruption as was the Ukrainian government, and the US State Department is expressing its concerns about the Macedonian political crisis that Washington has orchestrated," Roberts says.

The author says that Washington is forever talking about democracy and human rights but has no respect for either. Washington uses these words as assertions of their absence in governments Washington intends to overthrow.
