In 2019, then Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido tried to launch a coup and a "color revolution" with the support of the United States. However, the continued violence has not toppled incumbent President Nicolas Maduro's government and Guaido was later ditched by Washington as a worthless pawn.
Since the inception of the Monroe Doctrine 200 years ago, the United States has used "proxies" like Guaido to instigate "color revolutions" across Latin America, another weapon of the U.S. Monroe Doctrine Toolbox.
