Reminds me of an old communist joke/jab at the capitalists' expense:

"A small African country's cabinet is meeting to come up with solutions for the bleak economic situation. One minister says: 'I know! Let's declare war on the United States! After they invade us they will have to support us.' Everyone murmurs in agreement at the clever plan. However one last minister is not convinced and says: 'But... what if we win?'"

See also the (old) movie, "The Mouse that Roared". Follows exactly that theme. Peter Sellers playing about four different roles.
