Do You Remember Bangladesh’s Colour Revolution? The Same Playbook Is Unfolding in Indonesia…
These protests almost always begin with genuine grievances >>> economic pressures, governance issues, youth frustrations that exist in every country. In Bangladesh 2024 it started with job quotas. But organic sparks are regularly hijacked by well-funded regime-change networks tied to NED, USAID, Open Society Foundations and local partners. Training, financing, media amplification and symbols turn discontent into directed political turnover.
Brian Berletic exposed this in detail: years of US infiltration into Bangladesh’s media, education and networks. Student leaders had ties to Western-funded groups.

Under the previous government, Bangladesh followed “friendship to all, malice to none” and refused deeper US military pacts like GSOMIA to preserve neutrality. Post-2024, negotiations on GSOMIA/ACSA gained momentum alongside the February 2026 Reciprocal Trade Agreement and economic incentives. By May 2026 active defence talks were confirmed. Regime change delivered the strategic access previously blocked.
This is the core objective: replace resistance with compliance on defence pacts, overflight rights and alignment, framed as “democratic progress.”
The US uses the same approach even on relatively friendly governments. Friendly is never enough — the goal is deeper integration like Japan and the Philippines.
Indonesia is a prime target. It controls the Strait of Malacca, the vital chokepoint for energy flows to China. Its size, resources and ASEAN role make it central to US containment strategy. Washington pushes blanket overflight access for US military aircraft and inclusion in trilateral frameworks. As The Diplomat noted in April 2026:

I flagged the repeating playbook in my detailed analysis:

Berletic connects the regional wave: identical “Gen Z” tactics and funding against any independent balancing, especially with China.
Legitimate issues provide the entry. External actors amplify and direct. Change opens the door. Then come the pacts and alignment. Bangladesh shows the result. Indonesia is at the earlier stage.
The ultimate goal is foreign strategic control — containing rivals and reducing sovereign hedging. Sovereignty is hard to reclaim once signed.
To be clear: I don’t judge internal affairs. I only expose foreign interference and its purpose. I wish all Southeast Asian countries true self-determination >> free from interference and colonial mentality >> the real path to freedom and democracy.
Watch the patterns. They are rarely original.
