This sounds great but they're not going anywhere. Our banks have lent to them and we will see those debts repaid. Fun fact: that's why the US entered the Great War. In 1916 Germany was winning and if that happened they weren't going to pay back the loans. So Woodrow Wilson sent enforcers over to ensure the banks got their money.
Many Americans felt betrayed and questioned that the war had been an epic battle between the forces of good (democracy) and evil (autocracy), as it had been depicted in pro-war propaganda. This investigation of these "merchants of death" helped to bolster sentiments favoring neutrality, non-interventionism, disarmament, and taking the profits out of weapons procurements.
