It seems more reasonable than civil forfeiture. And it is hardly isolationist to support allies and beef up NATO.

I did not get the argument (yours and previous commenter). Are we saying that this is a theft de-facto and we are ok with that (we are morally correct despite 30 yrs of illegal numerous wars of US and NATO nonetheless), or is the argument that this is not a theft (and morality has nothing to do with it)?
Also, China, India and whole range of non-NATO countries are paying attention to the unilateral (and as far as one can tell, illegal [no due process, no mandate, etc]) grab of financial as well as other assets. For this reason I called it "isolationist" (in a diffusive long term manner).
