Interventionism is the wrong course of action

It is not a good idea for Nations to help and protect the people of other Nations with interventionism. If a Nation seeks to assist other peoples, then they can offer asylum or, if they are a neighbouring country, redraw the border to give land away. This will help the victims because they will have somewhere to retreat to and hide. More land generally eases the pressure of any situation whilst solutions are found.

Another legitimate action, other than offering land, is to provide, donate or sell weapons and technology to the side that you wish to see prevail.

The illegitimacy of interventionism is that (a) determination of which side is in the right is nuanced. A victory for the side you support might not be the best outcome... Generally it (the just one) is the one defending freedom, or against dogma, but there may be legitimate grievances and past aggression which are being defended against by the Socialists.
