Don't forget that Google is a multinational corporation, whereas there is no multinational government with political control by the people.

Google supporting American military may have negative effects on Google the corporation, especially considering that the rest of the world is a bigger economy than the US.

> Don't forget that Google is a multinational corporation

Google (and it's parent, Alphabet) is a US corporation, predominantly controlled by a pair of American individuals, with overseas operations and subsidiaries.

It's “multinational” in much the same way that the CIA is.
