Are they likely to succeed? no.
Should we sit back, relax and do nothing? hell no.

This whole conversation is like saying "they're going to outlaw unicorn hunting if we don't act now"
It really does't matter.
No one has demonstrated how making this mandatory is even remotely possible. ANYONE can see at a glance that you can't put 150 domains on 150 different tlds, owned by citizens of 150 different countries on one domain. Obviously the USA cannot enforce this anywhere (but i'm sure there are no shortage of conspiracy theories). Obviously, it can't be done and protect everyone's IP rights world wide.
All the lies and deceit were to get to where they are today. To demonstrate both a need for the new .xxx tld and support. It was always just a smoke screen to get a new tld approved because otherwise, it wouldn't/couldn't have been approved by ICAAN.
