If only I had used this outcome only as a highly understood example, as opposed to as the exact sitution that will befall the person I responded to... oh, wait!

That’s cool but it’s something I think about a lot

Like how some well known companies are implicated because of government contracts with that short lived regime in the 1930s

and its like thats not really a deterrent because you don't really know what a government will do, and accountability requires a multi coalition invasion, losing, and subsequent leaking of state records

the threshold for that to occur is so high, like for one, that government has to actually lose, and the one everyone is mad at typically doesn't

makes more sense to contract with all parties in all countries and just collect the checks

I think that specific example is a perfect choice to undermine the specific lesson you were aiming for
