I'm pretty sure for most instances one might cite the US would happily
step aside in favor of any reasonably effective, more local solution.

But what this has to do with the recent kerfuffle between the US and
North Korea escapes me. Assuming the charges were accurate -- and they
may well not be, but that's a different dicussion -- the US would have
a generally recognized right to respond, no?

My comments were referring to creating venues for such a response,
international dispute resolution fora with some effectiveness.

I suppose it's far easier to toss peanut shells from the cheap seats.
