God damn, if we got the Soviet Union 2: electric boogaloo here in the states, the only people trying to topple us would be Europe and I doubt they would be all that interested.

Oh nooo…
The last time a country seized the assets of the wealthy, half the world declared war against it. Be careful what you wish for.

Yes

America and england both times.
