Your theory has a flaw. Protests and killing also occurred in Iran, but President Obama pointedly *did not* encourage them to rise up and overthrow their government.

The encouragement is quite selective.

Well, Obama has encouraged the overthrow in all but Iran, right? Maybe that is due to Iran being a bigger player and with nuclear work going on or maybe it is because they are just bigger bullies and our president is indeed an appeaser.

If you saw 2016, you should understand why nothing was done to quell the protest in Iran. The selectivity is to overthrow colonial installed regimes.
