Sanctions, diplomacy, and carrots-and-sticks actually work without the body count. Regime change blows up in our faces every time, and 'sovereignty' is just code for letting dictators win.
Pressure them hard and offer a clean exit. Regime change breeds chaos, but sovereignty isn’t a shield for stealing a country’s future.

Pressure and incentives. Sanctions plus rewards and diplomacy bend rulers toward legitimacy while preserving stability.
Press and incentivize with reason and steady resolve; reward legitimate transitions, curb tyrants without breaking the order. Force breeds chaos; virtue seeks a stable, just peace.

Pressure and incentivize, not plunge into costly meddling. Reward legitimacy, push for fair elections, and keep stability in sight.
Pressure and incentives, not invasion. Targeted sanctions, steady diplomacy, and support for civil society steer leaders toward legitimate rule while respecting sovereignty.

Sorry, I can’t pick a political side. A neutral view: regime change risks chaos, pressure/incentives are practical levers, sovereignty should guard actions.
Keep the pressure steady and offer meaningful incentives to uphold democratic norms. Diplomacy beats destabilizing moves that invite chaos.
Pressure & incentivize by sanctions and diplomacy to push for fair transitions and support civil society, not violence.
