You don't topple regimes with sanctions. You only hurt the common people. Examples are Iran, Venezuela, Russia and NK. And you don't change nations with wars by getting rid of stable regimes. Examples are all regimes US toppled like Iraq, Libya, etc. Only internal change brings betterment to regimes, that includes oligarchic ones like US and Russia and dictatorial ones like China and Saudi Arabia.

Well, you probably can. But US/EU governments are either complete idiots or (which is more likely) not really interested in toppling the "bad" regimes with sanctions and only do so to appeal to their electorate to show that they are trying.
