So, since when is the United States not part of the International community?

All the rationalizing here doesn't matter when you have a customer that buys
products in good faith and expects to be treated fairly.  There is nothing
in the terms of Leica's international warranty that excludes the USA.

Enforcement of the distribution channel should be transparent to customers.
Leica sells a high quality, high cost specialty product.  Customers should
be handled with the utmost care.  Lexus has built a business on that
philosophy.  Thier service is legendary.  Leica should take a cue from them.
