Okay, start with holding the western empire accountable, including its decades of atrocity propaganda fabrications about the leaders of other countries. Then when you have some clarity from that and have consulted the regular people of a country in detail through sources that are trustworthy (rather than CIA-backed sources), you can begin to form a reasonable position toward holding the given country's leader accountable.

Saying "the western empire is bad but also the people who it says are bad are bad too" is not a principled or consistent take. It's a step toward understanding what is going wrong, but falls back on trusting in the western narratives.
