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.

I find it useful to distinguish legality from morality of the move of capturing Maduro and his wife.
One way I approach it is to ask myself: if one could have Maduro returned to Venezuela today, would one? Perhaps the answer that most people would give is yes (i.e. everyone would be better off), but I'm not so sure.
