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

          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. We were the main driving force of destructive capitalist imperialism throughout the last century and if we suddenly threw an uno reverse card down and shouted sike, there would be little interest in opposing us.

            Literally everyone would be trying to topple you. This has happened both to France and the Soviet Union.
