You're probably right, but don't forget this is something happening at a much larger scale. It involves multiple nations, each with their own complexities of politics and social expectations. Herding cats would be easier than trying to wrangle all of these players - not all of which are as inundated and corrupted as American politics with corporate influence.

Not to say they can't and won't try again, but at least it's hard for the bastards.

You're right, but I don't think the US is beyond threatening sanctions if the other players don't play nice. Sure it's cat herding, but the US has the most powerful catnip in the world....money.
