The international community / western marketplace obliterates any country that dares expropriate / nationalize the lands of the (white colonialist) landholding class.
Just look at how the West has cut off Cuba and Venezuela.

EDIT: As for Venezuela, 1 USD was ~6-7 Venezuelan bolívars in 2013. Last time I checked it was roughly 1,100,000. A staggering 180 000 times drop in only 5 years. External political climate remained roughly the same in that time span.
