There are many forms regime change can take once it’s adopted as a preferred method to achieve foreign policy objectives.

E.g., Bombs & war, kidnappings & CIA sponsored coups, natch, but also funding far-right parties opposed to liberal democracy and flooding the media with chaotic misinformation.

But surely an avowed ally wouldn’t do that to us? Not us here in Europe?

[Spoiler: they explicitly say they will in their own publicly available foreign policy strategy.]

You can try to call it lots of different things, but when it comes down to it the objective is the same and that is the removal of one government and its replacement with one the US government prefers. That’s regime change.
