Isn't it more like a website in one country rightly stating it's not bound by the laws in another country?

You asked:
> IANAL, but can't they just word a disclaimer and checkbox?
The answer is no, as far as GDPR is concerned, if they want to process and/or sell data of EU citizens or residents they have to follow some rules. I’ve no idea how the EU plans to enforce this regulation outside of the EEA, but it’s beside the point (as in it’s not what you asked)
Would this mean all a non-EU website needs to do to safely serve GDPR-bound persons is trash any data collected from them?
Or not collect it in the first place. For those newspaper blocking traffic from the EU, it may be enough to remove all trackers
