    You aren’t wrong about those actions but it overestimates the importance of “might makes right” and seriously underestimates the importance of soft power. The meme you shared commits the same fallacy, as is the current US administration.

      The US starts with soft power and sanctions to collectively punish the population. Then if the US backed color revolution fails it resorts to hard power.
