My country is not a fan of Trump, is it morally right to send a bunch of covert soldiers to capture him and throw him out of the country? We'd be saving the US from a dictatorship.

I certainly didn't expect a "well if you can depose a country's president, feel free", especially combined with a "once it's a dictatorship" cop out, as if there's the Worldwide Department of Dictatorship Judgement to tell us if a country is a dictatorship or not.
Which is why you don't do it nilly willy. There are plenty of hard decision in the real world, with real consequences when you guess wrong.
But as far as my personal opinion goes, I'd prefer a bit more intervention in the world. We actually created United Nations with this purpose, but it got hobbled by Russia and China's security vetos, and by the arab block making it a "resolution against Israel" machine.
But we never decided as a planet to just leave Sudan-like atrocities to happen without taking action because "sovereignty". That's not a thing that happened, and I'm actually a bit puzzled everybody acts like we did.
