Yea, let's cause all Eastern bloc debts to go into default!

Just think, it will help their people to starve, and just possibly cause
a crisis there!  Won't it be lovely, hungry workers in revolt, with Soviet
tanks squishing them beneath their tracks?  What exquisite problems it will
cause them commies!

Maybe we'll be able to go to the rescue, liberate Eastern Europe and maybe,
just maybe, even Russia and its Asiatic appendages themselves!

Seriously, do you believe that deliberately causing a crisis in Eastern Europe
will be beneficial in today's world of nerve gas (which the Congress recently
OKed the production of) and nuclear-tipped howitzer shells??

Spare me.
