Well that's the problem with local realism. All sorts of things do affect local conditions at a distance. If entanglement between particle pairs is not affected by any of the physical forces as described then whatever happens between them is just a matter of fact, but no where have I seen this mean we'll ever get ansibles or teleportation. It just means the universe as a substructure we're not fully able to grasp and that it may be just one of those things that connects everything despite the appearance of separation of objects and states.
