They can get much, much worse. Unimaginably worse. There's no comparison between Venezuela and Brazil, for example. But even between Bolivia and Brazil or Peru and Brazil there's a steep difference in development and living standards. Foreign intervention would destabilize the country and potentially lead to war, human suffering, and devastation. > entire countries are effectively run by drug empires This is not true. > Bolsonaro is selling out the future of humanity I'm not even sure what you mean here, but it sounds inaccurate and an exaggeration at the very least. Brazil is going through a bad patch, for sure. But it's still the biggest, most dynamic economy in South America, a stable democracy with relatively high HDI, and a nation of proud people with vibrant history and culture. The idea of foreign intervention sends shivers down my spine - it would absolutely, with 100% certainty make things worse, and would be potentially catastrophic for the country. I find it really amazing that someone can casually suggest this. Hasn't South America suffered enough?
