Imagine 25 years from now that an American corporation controls a monopoly of foreign supply chains for a vital American consumer good.
This corporation then issues the American government the following message:
For sake of argument, let's assume enough adaptation time is given, but it's not long enough for military preemption.
America refuses to adapt, and decides on military retaliation instead. The corporation threatens to implode 100% of its facilities if any retaliation is organized. If the supply chain implodes, it will devastate America so badly that it will have to resort to martial law in order to prevent anarchy.
Would you support the corporation or the military?
