You might as well be picking a fight with a doorman, while falsely imagining that he's the boss. The spokesmen aren't the boss, they take orders to spout whatever the boss wants them to say. 3rd-world junglees will never understand how the world actually works. What a waste of time.

I mean just look at the cold war where, at least far as we know, the US tried to influence regime changes 72 times and those times it did succeed it just resulted in more civil strife and less trust in their democracy. So guess why most US adversaries tend to prefer other things then democracy or at the very least elect the "strong man" archetype, It's all because they want to prevent outside interference... and in some cases it's just the typical tyrants, but even in those cases sometimes it boils down to; Rather the tyrant i know.
