When the US did regime change in Libya to bring democracy, it led to slave markets being introduced.
With Iraq, the country collapsed and ISIS emerged as a destabilizing force.
In Afghanistan, trillions were spent only for the Taliban to return to power within days of the US withdrawal.
This isn't to say that what came before was a utopia.
It's to say that in all cases, US led regime change efforts and war leads to a worse outcome for the people of the country.
Even when it "succeeds" the new government becomes nothing more than a vassal of the US that caters to their every whim.
Not to mention:
The US typically introduces sanctions prior to intervention, which ends up impacting the most vulnerable in the country, while elites hoard the available resources.
It's a self-reinforcing process where the sanctions lead to the worsening conditions that "justify" intervention.
