Is it tyranny to constantly topple foreign governments by force if their leaders disobey you?

Whenever I see the US empire saying they plan to remove the latest Official Bad Guy from power in order to liberate a nation from tyranny, I always want to ask, what is tyranny?
Is it tyranny to constantly topple foreign governments by force if their leaders disobey you?
Is it tyranny to circle the planet with hundreds of military bases in order to dominate all of humanity?
Is it tyranny to continuously be inflicting mass military slaughter, backing genocides, staging foreign coups, fomenting unrest and uprisings in foreign nations, meddling in foreign elections, funding proxy conflicts, imposing blockades and starvation sanctions on civilian populations, and engaging in nuclear brinkmanship in order to rule the world?
Is it tyranny to treat the entire global south as your personal piggy bank from which to extract limitless labor and resources and murder anyone who tries to inhibit these practices through any movement toward national sovereignty?
Because if it is, it's a bit silly for the US to claim to be liberating any nation from tyranny.
Kinda like a morbidly obese man coming up to you and saying he'll train you to shed those extra pounds.
It's like Nick Fuentes offering cultural sensitivity training workshops.
It's like the Green River Killer publishing a book on the the importance of combating toxic masculinity.
The US empire is the most tyrannical power structure on earth, by an extremely massive margin. There is no close second place in contention. Nobody else is brutalizing and terrorizing the entire planet into obedience with its dictates. No other power is constantly assaulting any government or population anywhere on earth that doesn't bow to its demands. Only the US empire can be said to be guilty of this.
Even if Maduro really was the worst dictator on earth (he isn't), and even if you could make a convincing argument that regime change interventionism would probably make things better for the people of Venezuela (you can't), the US would be the last government on earth with any business doing so. The world's most tyrannical power structure has no business trying to liberate anyone from tyranny.
