Realistically, this US government has no credibility or desire to play a role in supporting a democratic transition.
Surely, the task of progressives in the US who care about values and morality should now be to oppose the imperialist foreign policy of their government, as it has already set its sight on the next targets.
I completely agree with this sentiment. I find the whole process and acts really quite terrifying and wonder where it ends? Is he going to take Greenland or depose the President of Mexico next? The Trump administration are not hypocrites but they are amoral. This is why it's not the same as what Putin is doing to Ukraine. Putin is doing that because he genuinely believes Ukraine is a natural part of Russia and that its leaving was a historic mistake that he wants to turn back. This is pure power politics....
Yes, definitely! This is a really big distinction that I think is currently being neglected in a lot of the commentary on Trump which I think is a bit of an error.
You don’t have to respect the honesty of this Regime, because they are being inhuman. It’s not about democracy, it’s about self-determination. This Regime replaced a weak wannabe with an overwhelmingly armed actual dictator, who openly admitted that he was looking for an in-country puppet to do his bidding. Honesty in pursuit of inhuman goals is STILL inhuman.

This is a very good point, in this sense Trump's more amoral than even Putin, although not necessarily more *immoral*

Good riddance!
