Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has just been re-elected, which means it is difficult for the "Color Revolution" to take place in Belarus.

The "Color Revolutions" had swept Ukraine, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan, making people sigh about the changes in the world's situation, especially the fates of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries.

The "Color Revolution" has two main connotations: First, the countries that have experienced "Color Revolution" want to seek new living space and development directly through the color change. Second, the US and European Union attempt to make the CIS countries change their side to force Russia to give up part of its sphere of influence through planning, promoting and implementing the "Color Revolution."

However, these "Color Revolutions" have brought different results.

Although the "color" has been changed, these countries did not get what they had expected. Instead they just changed the political system.

These countries are confronted with the expectations of joining the European Union but that has to be decided by the US and EU powers. They were promised protection and benefits, but have to shamefully beg and wait endlessly.

The US and Europe did not expect the "Color Revolution" would become enormous economic burdens tangled with old historical resentments.

The "Color Revolution" is changing political systems and it is a fight for power and influence.

In fact, those who launched the "Color Revolution" did not expect to treat the "Color Revolution" countries as equals. The West only wants to push back the boundaries of Russia, or even abolish this border through these "Color Revolutions".
