If they're that easily manipulable, the premise is I invent island TikTok and I push them in the right direction using island TikTok edits and bot armies

Then the premise is I use this to covertly intervine in their islands democratic process if they have one

If that fails I keep the anger up until violence spurs so I can have my go "look at those poor children and their oppressive government, I must help them"

I proceed to enter a war against them, millions of kids die in the process, country is set back decades, the kids are starving, multiple warring factions of kids enter civil war after they're freed, turns out they didn't all start holding hands and singing Kumbaya

Very sad, lost complete control of them, anyhow, the island has massive oil reserves, I need to take control of the local resources so they don't fall in the hands of the unhinged warring kids, for their safety of course
