But in other cases, VNSAs are able to degrade states without the West being an overarching causal force.

But part of the reason I ask is I think our meddling is a key difference with earlier periods.

IMO our overall meddling is *lower* than during the Cold War. Type of meddling (regime change) has changed rather than degree.

But at any rate, I don't disagree that the impact of our foreign policy does belong in this discussion.

Also I think we should stop using phrase "regime change" as we've never succeeded in actually fully changing one.
