the world needs to put together a secret bully removal squad. A few dozen individuals around the world that can get into places no one else can and remove the bully. Just make them mysteriously vanish without a trace.

Let the UN and NATO do what they do, but when all fails call in Orkin ... so to speak. Not at all feasible but sure I'm not the only one who's thought it would be nice if we could.
