Me, I would take the Teddy Roosevelt approach* - send in the Marines openly, have them kill lots of people and break many things, and generally let the world know why you don’t want to FAFO with us.

* referencing the Perdicaris affair in 1904 or 1905. If you’ve ever seen “The Wind and the Lion” you know exactly what I am talking about (good movie, btw, with Sean Connery and Brian Keith). The greatest line in the movie, historically accurate, was TR’s demand of “Perdicaris alive, or Raisuli dead!”
