    In fairness, it isn’t always this way. Post WW2 Japan and Germany come to mind. The US has never really left those countries though. One could argue that South Korea is doing pretty well, most of the time.

In that sort of asymmetrical power dynamic, usually terrorism is the response.

Rather, this is the case where international diplomatic pressure is the right tool.
