I think your logics is flawed here :
> external intervention
We are all internal to the same world/nature.

Your mixing logic between the issue of a "one world" and a solution that lays in the conceptual boundaries of nationhood.
A world green police sounds great (better than a world oil reserve police atleast) but that requires a world government to come up with the authority and solution that does not result in suffering.
It's not going to work if the country you live in is secluded from the world and is exploiting the resources of the world for the commodities and relative fortune.

Ignoring the very concept of countries and sovereignty will not help fix the current situation.
I understand people are disillusioned with politicians everywhere in the world but we should not abandon politics because of that.
This situation is entirely different. You are missing a lot of the nuance here. Brazil is a huge country which supplies many countries with countless commodities and other products. External military intervention would only make the situation worse.
This is not how international politics work.
I'm definitely not in favour of what has happened in Iraq, but brute-forcing every problem with external intervention makes absolutely no sense.
In this case, it's reasonably clear that this situation is awful, but if we start turning everything into B/W and ignoring the value of dialogue soon we'll run into other more nuanced disagreements being solved through violence.
