>you underestimate the ability of countries to cooperate you,handwaiving all 190+ nation states will go along with AND have incentive to do what the all powerful US says... OKAY, buddy... Also, and please be honest with yourself, would you like to live in where the US unilaterally decides what private property rights should exist and not? I sure as heck hope you don't want that future.

The US does this all the time with its monetary sanctions. That's why sanctions against Iran and Russia are quite a big deal for these countries. Even nations that don't really want to take part in those measures are affected because their national banks have to do business in the US or with US banks and businesses.
