Not to mention, I’m pretty sure if they started debiting accounts arbitrarily and en masse, there would be a nationwide bank run and an apocalyptic economic crash. I’m not sure they’d want to wage nuclear war on the US economy. At least not yet.

Maybe you’re technically and logically correct (I don’t know enough to say) but they could and would still arrest them regardless and there’s not much that can be done about that. A private citizen that’s stateless is de-facto defenseless against the government while a diplomat is backed by an entire government.

The UN is supposed to help prevent citizens from being rendered stateless as well, but it happens in smaller countries regardless. If the US does it, unfortunately I don’t see the UN doing enough to stop it.
