Not really, no. Everyone I know who's anti US intervention here acknowledges that this government has fallen rather short in basically every regard concerning their opportunist left wing rhetoric. That doesn't absolve the CIA and the US altogether from their responsibility in the perpetuation of such systems, they're principally at fault for the problem and principally to blame for these astroturfed protests.

This has been their playbook for decades, they've done it rather recently in dozens of countries and they're not even trying to be subtle about it. Can't say I blame them, given that there's clearly people stupid enough to go along with it.
