Are you sure?
Foreign intervention refers to the use of the discretionary power of a government in one society to address perceived problems in foreign societies. In addressing these problems, foreign interventions aim to construct a preferable state of affairs in these societies from the standpoint of those intervening.
Fuck Christopher J. Coyne and his definition. My definition of intervention is using military force, as in the invasions of the middle east. I don't care about your professors overly broad and all encompassing definition of "intervention". If Trump decides to send troops, then you'll have me on your side. Simply deciding to have diplomatic relations with the man appointed to replace a socialist tyrant is no "intervention"

Simply deciding to have diplomatic relations
You're misrepresenting the actions of your government. See the video above, Pompeo's openly lobbying other countries in an effort to recognize an unelected president. And you have to be naive to not realise this indicates a whole bunch of things happening behind the scenes.
