Name one (developing) country that was improved by US interventionism. I can name a dozen that were destroyed, ransacked by US businesses, genocides committed, etc.
I was arguing against US intervention. But since you asked...
Mali. When i was there the local pharmacist had a picture of president Ford, of all people, up. Turns out the US had run a program to eradicate a particularly nasty parasite in the region. They'd also built the road, the irrigation canals that allowed them to grow rice, and the bridge that connected them to the other markets. I'm American and i don't know this stuff, gauranteed this is not being reported in the foreign press.
Kenya is one of the more stable countries as far as Africa goes. When i was there i was surprised to learn from the local newspaper that the majority of their governments entire budget is foreign aid, much from the US. They use that money to pay Chinese (not American) companies to build infrastructure.
My Iraqi friends, particularly a friend from Mosul, criticized the US. Apparently the problem wasnt that the US came (Hussein was largely feared and hated, and abused his people), but that they didn't take enough control, and so left a power vacuum which was filled by criminals (which would probably happen in Venezuela). However more recently the downfall of ISIS can be credited to US intervention.
My Libyan friends were frustrated by the US lack of intervention, though a little help was provided. It's amazing how oppressed people don't have a voice. I didn't know they hated Gaddafi until the revolution happened, then they were so incredibly passionate.
South Korea. Or do you think North Korea is better?
Every country in Europe. Especially Eastern Germany. But you deliberately exclude them. However a few eastern European countries had some US airstrikes to stop genocide, which actually seemed to work pretty well.
Pretty much every developing country that has been peaceful and stable has received large amounts of monetary, economic, or other aid from the US.
How do you quantify bad things that didn't happen? I would posit that since the end of WW2, the entire world on average has been more peaceful and prosperous than any other time in history. Billions pulled out of poverty. The vast majority of people living their entire lives without experiencing war.
But again, for both the US and Venezuela's sake, I think it is important the Venezuelans fix this.
