If we are working on the basis of "it could have happened, therefore it did," Americans could have had a legitimate reaction to the war footage, and Romanians could have been frustrated with both major parties and voted for a spoiler candidate, therefore they did. :-)

I'm probably responding to you being intentionally obtuse but:
Assuming that's true, TikTok, at the behest of the CCP, can (and will) amplify the reach of that outrage to an outsized impact. If the outrage is 5% of TikTok users in the given nation, and that 5% is thrown into the FYP of 50% of the users in that nation, that's an impact that any power that be dreams to have.
