Oh, I get it now, so if Iran has protests we use it as justification for attacking it's government and it's leadership, a country we would love to topple, in other words by leftist lending support we are without knowing adding to US propaganda. Good point. Since I was a kid I separated my government from the people, and no doubt do the same in regard to other countries. I had an uncle who was a chief engineer in the Merchant Marines, and there wasn't a country he hadn't been to. He had a global perspective on the world which I thought was great. No governments just people which is what I was thinking here. Thanks!

You’ve said it perfectly.

Imperialist governments EXPLOIT the public support by good-hearted people in an empire country for people protesting in an empire-targeted country, to amplify and broaden their “hybrid” attack on the foreign govt.

The end result of a foreign government overthrown by an imperial power is pain, plunder and peonage for its people. Not liberation. Not security. Not a better future for the people.
