Our government has overthrown dozens of other governments with “regime change” actions since World War II. It has never led us to a better long-term result than what we started with. And it’s actually easy to understand why. https://williamblum.org/essays/read/overthrowing-other-peoples-governments-the-master-list …

The reason it’s never successful is that revolutions - AKA overthrowing the government - only work when the government is overthrown by the people of that country. Revolutions can never bring lasting change by proxy.

In a successful revolution, the people who overthrow the government are the people who take over the government. They have “skin in the game.” They have sacrificed, fought, and experienced loss in the fight to overthrow that government.

They do this because they feel strongly enough about why they have to overthrow the government to experience these losses and still push forward. And the losses they experience harden their resolve to not waste the opportunity for self-determination.
