We already do make threats (of varying kinds, usually financial) to control our allies, as well as our enemies. We've caused whole ass revolutions because fruit companies stood to lose money. The US plays dirty whenever we want and lose zero sleep about it, and I see no reason why stopping genocide should suddenly be a case for doing everything above board. I mean, really, I'm not buying it that the same country that said "fuck ur laws lol" and teabagged Osama Bin Ladin in the middle of the night and has declared itself beyond the reach of the ICC is suddenly tied up by international laws and relationships and is just simply helpless to do anything but build a dock that can't even float.
