A good rule of thumbs is that if a country doesn't have a strong enough opposition to unseat their own dictator, they don't have a strong enough opposite to fill the power vacuum if you do it for them. Something you'd think the US would have learned after like the 15th time this century.

Three combined heat and power plants fully stopped working after last night’s enormous attack. Unclear if anything can be fixed, millions of people are completely without electricity, heating or running water. Before winter.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
