Trying to help popular insurgents topple unpopular dictators does not guarantee anything better.
I remember a line like that from the Q course, and that was over 30 years ago:

"The motto of Special Forces is 'De Oppresso Liber,' meaning
'We Liberate the Oppressed.'

But many of the oppressed don't want to be liberated. They just want to change places with the oppressors."
