Correct. The central issue is that "and powerful enough" part, since the US military will go 100% to war with them if they try to do anything about it, and no country wants that, generally speaking.

The correct choice would have been to pressure the American government to do something, but since our whole strategy for doing that was to let the person come to power who is ten times worse than even the horrifying standard of US presidents on this issue, we sorta fucked that whole thing up.
