It seems to me that the time to meddle is when there is a very direct and specific threat, and one should meddle to cure that, and not to do more.

I presume you mean threat to the meddler? In other words, if NK isn't threatening anybody outside of Asia, the rest of the world should do nothing to change the North Korean's regime? Is that what you mean?

If you argue countries shouldn't get involved with other countries internal politics because the meddler is incapable of helping (they just don't have the resources and ability), then I'll agree with the principle your point. It's an arguement of capability as opposed to morality.

If you think a country should only meddle with another country when it is being directly attacked by that country, then I disagree.
