Yes, pretty accurate. As you said, the flow of information today is hard to stop. Also:

1) The totalitarian three may have underestimated the weaknesses of the West (which are overamplified as free societies). They may have also underestimated their own economic reliance on international trade (and the economic price for bad behavior)

2) The protesters in these countries often rally behind classic American themes such as democracy, free speech, free press, and possibly wonder why we don't give them more support.

3) Meanwhile, the West may be getting ready to reign in some of this freedom? (ie lying or promotion of violence as "free speech"?)

4) Hard to see these Democratic voices prevailing at this point though. All the rulers have to do is jail/eliminate the protesters, pump up repressive religious & patriotic themes, blame the Western bogeymen. I suppose real change will come when a pragmatic someone from within the repressive parties emerges to save economies by loosening up restrictions (someone like Gorbachev).

5) After watching Russia blunder into Ukraine, Xi seems to have backed off on Taiwan invasion, which would have been their fatal "Pearl Harbor" move.

6) It seems that aggression against Ukraine, Taiwan, possibly Israel (and subsequent economic isolation of the tyrannical three) really helps the West solidify their brand. Let's hope we can maintain the quality of that brand.
