Alternatively, US could stop playing world police and start fixing its many domestic problems.

They aren't even playing world police.

Playing world police would be doing things like helping Venezuelans.

I guarantee you, every modern instance you can think of where America is "playing world police" is actually a calculated effort to maintain its global interests. Or at least, the global interests of its ruling class.
