That's harsh but makes sense - if even Cuba can avoid being affected heavily by color revolution, despite the economic blockade and NGOs flowing in - it makes for not much of an excuse, doesn't it.

The thing with color revolutions is that they often exploit the enemy's lack of better alternative, eh?

I doubt the youth revolution itself was entirely US caused or a full colour revolution, likely it was just a generic "anti-corruption" protests who possibly got aid that did not have any actual goal and the army quite easily took advantage of it.
