Yeah. Let the leaders assassinate each other with drone strikes instead of indiscriminately bombing whole cities as they used to.
what gov't in modern day would fall because the leader was assassinated? the next in line would just step up, and now have a pissed population that will be in favor of ratcheting up beyond assassinations.
Any autocratic state would probably have quite a high likelihood I would expect.

I am sure you can think of a few prominent examples.
