Very bad take. Serbs were fighting against Milosevic before they received any help and would’ve done so regardless of it. The fight was not imported from abroad. It was a genuine domestic resistance movement and any help was welcome.

The idea that Egyptians wouldn't otherwise use a new tool that let them bypass censorship unless they got US-funded training by Serbians is insulting, racist and also ridiculous. That movement pioneered many new uses, but they also, of course, learned by looking at the world.

The only use for these exaggerated claims, besides empowering authoritarians, is when people apply for funding—by claiming something that is basically a rounding error in historical dynamics is actually important. (US should get a refund on the pointless billions spent on Cuba.)
