The problem is this move brings instability to the entire idea of the international financial system, you cant just seize a country assets, otherwise one day a country may just decide not to pay back the credors it dpesnt like, and stuff like that.

Not true, seizing assets has been done for as long as there was money.

This is not a new concept, there's a reason the majority of countries have laws for that on the books already.

Seizing is one thing spending on behalf is another one. Next step is to explane gulf states and china why should they invest in eu assets.

Something that only gets claimed by random people on the internet, but not by people actually familiar with the details.

This move is absolutely not unprecedented, no matter how often you guys claim it is. And thankfully, european legislators are aware of that.
