Absolutely. This isn't a new playbook, and it's shameful we have allowed it to happen so many times to so many countries. This is also why we should be aware much of it relies on destabilization, and pushing people within a country to carry out the bulk of the work for them.
They pressure and push people in the direction they want them to go. To win we have to strategize ways that avoid achieving their goals, and rebel by opposing what they are leading us to do.
