@Deglassco Absolutely! Also, there is this feeling that all the "interventions" have less to do with "bringing democracy" (as they often claim) and more with destabilizing whole regions in order to prevent strong alliances between partners: South America and the Middle East come to mind. Cheap oil is a big factor as well, of course. They are also trying to break up the EU by strengthening right-wing parties. And right now there is only chaos.
