I don't expect anything other than a diplomatic response from my country and calls to end the violence and pledges to provide humanitarian relief if the situation becomes a humanitarian (ie, refugee) crisis.
And, in this case, at this juncture, I can't imagine a more rational response. In the grand scheme of things, we have ignored much, much worse. It doesn't appear that civilians are being targeted as of yet so I'm not of the mind that any intervention is called for from any other nation - other than perhaps a neighboring one if it need be.
