How can I lower the stability of other nations?

[RainOfPain125]

I am playing as the Trotskyist SU starting coups everywhere, but now most nations have joined the allies, and have too high stability to start coups. The allies keeps growing and I cant do anything about it. Help?

Lol just reinforce your country, make a faction or try to join axis.

Allies always win if you leave them alone.
(like in real ww2, allies won)

Justify a war goal

Boosting an opposite party to lower the ruling party popularity can help. For 100% ruling party popularity, you get a 10% stability bonus. So if we talk about a nation that has like 83 or 85% stability, this might be the weapon of your choice.

just use annex all

Thats cool and all, but I need them to be at 79 or lower stability. so this wont do it.

Spies!
Build agency and send spies to destabilize opponents.

without DLC, of course.

Trotsky couping everyone was an intended feature before La Resistance. Except as you can see, the devs provided no real way to lower someone else's stability.

it is an instant -30% penalty once you declare though.

Biggest things have already been mentioned. 3 spies can help, one to build network, another to lower stability outright, and another to sway ideology, which will in turn lower stability.

Somehow getting them to join an offensive war i believe that knocks them down quite a bit, but unreliable and would only work on a few nations anyways.

I think dropping several nukes lowers stability but i might be wrong. It will at least lower their surrender %.

Not totally sure, but most of the nations you should be able to knock down enough. I know for sure as SU you can put 3 spies in Germany and keep them on less than 50% stability the entire game if you want to.

Propaganda lowers stabiliy
Boost party popularity (injects your ideology into their politics)

both reduce stability over time but they have to be meitained as once you remove spies or they are killed it will trickle back.

other then these 2 its only offensive war , and some select nation focuses (particulary ones who inject your ideology/party into X country)
