What I don't understand is, why, whenever there is a revolution/uprising/whatever somewhere, people need to believe that some force was behind it?

Take Venezuela, for example, who is pulling the strings there?

In this day and age we have the ability to turn a half-dozen dunk protesters into a full-blown "revolution" using media tricks, a few public comments from high officials and money.

The Egyptian "Arab Spring" might have fizzled out on its own had we (the West) not given such support to the radicals. Same thing in Libya. By the same token, the near-revolution in Iran a few years ago had the same potential, but we kept quiet and thus helped the regime.

In the Ukraine, we're talking it up, offering financial incentives, and the MSM is playing its part. We're definitely involved.

“Take Venezuela, for example, who is pulling the strings there?”

Why it’s the “fascists, criminals and foreign provocateurs” that are at the root of the people protesting against government corruption, incompetence and repression. Same as in Syria too.

Seeing a pattern here?

Anyone opposing Putin’s people are “fascists, criminals and foreign agitators”. Just check what the trolls on these threads are posting, straight from their scripts.
