So... Russia, China, Iran and North Korea it seems have formed an alliance. Not because they have much in common except that they are authoritarian and anti Pax Americana. Russia has been getting missiles from N Korea, drones from Iran, and technology from China, while selling oil to China to fund their war efforts. But now it looks like Iran is going to fall. And Finland and Sweden recently joined NATO, so that also puts a kink in their plans. Russia, China and Iran were also invested in Venezuela and their oil reserves.

So... it would seem to make sense to overthrow Maduro, IF you can replace him with a democratic leader who will be accepted, AND IF you do what is right by the Venezuelan people with the oil proceeds.

Unfortunately, I have no confidence in Trump to do what is right by anyone, especially with his crazy rantings about taking the oil, taking Greenland, insisting on his crazy tariffs, and his own authoritarian designs, etc, etc. That's why Putin wanted him in there, because he is totally inept and clueless, and can be played so easily.
