The excuse? Probably the same as during the times of USSR. Could you give some examples of kleptocratic dictatorships that have fallen due to a revolution bottom-up, as opposed to external force or a change of power at the top, for inspiration? One example I can come up with myself is Ukraine, but in that case US explicitly supported the change and its representative was present on the ground during critical time*. If US were willing to do the same for Russia, I'm sure this could make a difference. * https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-victoria-nuland-wades-into-ukraine-turmoil-over-yanukovich/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-victoria-nuland-wades-into-u...
