Not to be a dick but if they don't like it they could do something about it themselves. Hoping that "the world will do something" rarely has good results.

Yeah haven't they been at war or occupied for like 200 years? The withdrawal was a clusterfuck but it was never not going to be one. Idk what the rest of the world can do at this point. I read China wants to tap into those sweet lithium mines. Let them give it a shot I guess?

Honestly, I'd love to see them try. Mostly because it'd be hilarious for them to be inconvenienced, but still

Putting aside the humanitarian aspect and destabilizing the region etc etc I agree it would be an entertaining show. From what I've heard maybe we won't have to wait very long.
