Imagine this was the 1970s or 80s, the media would be tripping over themselves to cover such support against Iran, or Russia, or yes, in relative terms today, China.
Now they say "no, do not show support for removing their dictator".
If media does not want to present the support of those who cheer the removal of a dictator, what do they have planned for you? Just what kind of overbearing, secretive, China-First, digital-currency and I.D, social credit score plans do they wish upon you?
If you truly want support from your nations citizens you have to offer them a reason. Liberty, opportunity, blind and fair justice, honest and legitimate, upholding your constitution. ANY government official who betrays these basic tenets is not an ally of their own citizens or the free world.
