If any external force tried to "fix" the US it would result in stubborn revanchism and a deeper slide into corruption. To grossly generalize - the American culture of self-reliance means that any imposition of order, even if positive, would be rejected by most of the population (which is somewhat fair, since external impositions do compromise sovereignty).

If a good outcome is to happen - it needs to be driven and supported domestically.

Congratulations on figuring out why foreign intervention does not work in general!

What has "taking out" Maduro accomplished, other than allowing American oil companies to profit? Venezuela is ruled by the same party, the situation for the Venezuelan people has not changed.

I'm confused what you mean by "woke" here. Is opposing violation of international law "woke"?

Only if you take a sixth-grader's view of geopolitics.

People can say that the Western world should do more to promote democracy in China (or not financially enable China to suppress its people) while at the same time saying that invading a country and kidnapping its leader is not the way to solve a similar problem.
