Why should they not be like that? Absolutist non-intervention is not a realistic strategy in a universe where nation states border each other and their actions affect each other.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the bulk of human history shows that interventions has largely been disastrous in terms of long-term effects.
As a German, I can say I‘m very happy for the intervention some decades ago, but it’s of course just one example, potentially a bad one, and likely cannot be generalized — just wanted to throw this into the ring as a positive example.
Which country was Venezuela at war with?
Germany waged war on just about the whole world, the response to that was one of defense, not offense.
