It's a bad thing because John Bolton and the American investors are not Venezuelans and are not answerable to the Venezuelan people. They are meddling in a foreign country's internal affairs while simultaneously strangling its economy through sanctions on Venezuelan trade, financial transactions, capital flows and sanctions on third-party states, organisations and firms which want to do business with Venezuela. The US is encouraging mutineers and traitors to undemocratically seize political power in Venezuela so that American investors can seize economic power over the country's resources. The US Government has no right to do what it is doing to Venezuela and what it is preparing to do to Cuba, Nicaragua, Bolivia and any other South or Central American state which elects for economic nationalism, socialism or pro-Russian/Chinese alignment.
The world does not belong to America and a global insurgency is beginning to develop which will eventually overwhelm America's ability to control/influence world affairs. It will take time and cost much in property and human blood but this insurgency will grow and build until a cascade moment arrives when the US Armed Forces are overwhelmed on too many fronts simultaneously and the US treasury is bankrupted. Then all hell will break loose. It is actions like those the US is taking in Venezuela, Africa and Asia which are fuelling this growing global insurgency and when US global and regional hegemony is broken (and it will be eventually)! then the bombs and blood will escalate radically as chaos replaces order and war replaces peace.
Maniacs like the militant neoconservatives Bolton, Abrams and Pompeo and idiots like President Trump are engineering the conditions which will bring about the downfall of America in a growing global insurgency and we will all suffer as collateral damage in that epic confrontation and follow-on collapse. Wise men and women in America have lost control of their government and a dangerous leviathan is about to run amok in Latin America and the Caribbean. It's appetite will not be satisfied in the Western Hemisphere and it will target Iran and Syria next. Then Africa. The hunger will grow and there will be finally confrontations with China in Africa and Asia and confrontations with Russia in Europe and Asia. When that last tier is reached then it's likely game-over for human civilisation and maybe even the species. What price must the world pay for US and US investor interests?
America has been on a full time war footing since 1942 and now all you remember is war. You spend over a trillion US dollars per year on national security and military expenditures. You have gutted the other mechanisms of your state which used to exercise diplomacy and soft-power and are now the most impatient, predatory and militarised state on the planet, eclipsing even North Korea, Russia and colonial Europe in your appetite for war and conquest. It's time to seen yourselves off forever-war and realign your state to a less war-like footing, to stop using militarism as a tool of first resort, to stop using military force to impel other states to cede their economic wealth to your investors and to work cooperatively with other states in order to maintain global stability and to foster the wider peace. The alternative is global insurrection and ruination for all. Venezuela is just the next nail in the coffin of America but the collapse of your state will fill up the graveyard of human civilisations with many other states caught in the crossfire. When giants stumble or are brought low, the Earth quakes and breaks. I don't want to be broken under the deathroes of a Gog or Magog.
