If you are talking about interventions across national boundaries, the situation is really changing in the direction of more such interventions -- much more so than was the case only a few years, or especially decades, ago. Some countries, of course, such as China and Russia (and the US, if it comes in our direction) really react negatively to it. It seems to me an indication of their lack of self-confidence. The world really is becoming "smaller" in this way, and we cannot as easily avoid "meddling" in each others' affairs.
