> The US has accomplished regime change in weak (politically unstable) non-nuclear countries. The only threat of regime change Russia faces is internal.

And yet many senior political figures in the US repeatedly call for regime change, coup, uprising, and worse. Why do those things?

It's called sabre rattling. There's a reason it's done by senior political figures and not from the officially recognized leadership. There's a difference from the person in charge and those tasked with advise & consent roles.
