Good points. I had not thought about oil at all. I’ve become aware through light skimming that wars, coups and similar incursions have occurred around other resources.

This feeds into the point I was aiming at. The tech megacorps now have tooling to protect a narrow aspect of their customers lives from state incursion, regardless of which country that customer live in. I’ve not read the link you shared yet, so I don’t know the angle it takes or the angle you want to dig into my ideas from.

Thanks for sparing me the satcasm.
