How long before Amazon sends in the Mercenary squads to protect their assets? Jesus talk about speed running to corporations vs nations.

Just tell Hasbro the IRGC got hold of some pre-release Magic the Gathering cards and they'll send in the kill squads immediately. The regime wouldn't stand a chance.

I'm actually surprised Amazon doesn't have a mercenary army
like what's the point of being a billionaire if you're not funding a mercenary nation and secretly building nuclear war machines

Why doing all that effort if you can just buy the largest military in the world, by pushing a stupid fascist's campaign and "donate" a few millions to the grifter in chief, after he got elected.
The evil plan of these billionaires is not building some super weapons on an tropical island, but things like Project 2025, or taking Greenland to convert it into some liberiterian cyberpunk dystopia.
And their nemesis is not some secret agent in a tuxedo but an educated and empathetic population.

People have weirdly stilted views of what billionaires and megacorps do.
Like, if you think they (or even the Military industrial complex) were actually pulling all the strings all the stupid stuff this past year and a half would’ve happened?

From what I can see me-south-1 (Bahrain) was shutdown on March 22nd and this was the last day of billing for the region. Trying to load anything in the AWS console timeouts now.

Its important to remember a reigion is not a single thing as much as its a collection of AZ's taking out part of the region dose not nessacary stop it. Alot of people spread things out across regions in the event something happened to the whole region so it hurts but likely recoverable in most cases unless you had all your stuff in one AZ that got blown up.

Was it a real Amazon cloud computing center or a c**** knock off that they were allowing someone to sell to us as a cloud computing center while also skirting all safety regulations in the process?

Sorry I dont doubt that. It was just a bad joke about how amazon sells knock off products as the real thing, Or allows it to occur anyways.

It's actual Aws data center. On day one of war they bombed another data center located in Dubai but there wasn't much coverage on it. Both Aws data centers are out of order

In threads about American and Israeli atrocities do you pull the “what about Iran” card as well? Just making sure you’re staying consistent.

Yes all sides are committing war crimes, Iran is one of them. The issue is that everyone expects that from Iran, the global instability intensifies when the American military no longer respects international law.

False. The Islamic Republic and its ally Russia are the ones committing war crimes.

You don’t think a country with permanent installations in the middle east needs secure internet infrastructure in that region?
