Confiscating a subsidiary doesn't shut down its computer systems.

That would require humans to do additional – and very likely criminal – acts of retaliation.

At the point someone has seized an Amazon subsidiary, of course ACLs will change, equipment will get shutdown, etc.

And no one will care about whatever claims of ‘criminal retaliation’ there are, because it’s already crossed that line eh?

It’s not like the domestic employees will be doing it anyway - or would need to be involved.
