I don't know much about geopolitics so tell me if I'm off base but it seems to me if they're making threats it's because the facility is not a high enough priority to actually strike? If they wanted to and had enough ordinance to overwhelm whatever defenses, then they just would right? But they can't/won't so they're hoping to gain advantage without actually spending ordinance?

Regardless, it is grimly interesting to watch the next chapter of tech companies becoming increasingly significant in geopolitics.

hhh
This is a slop article quoting shitty sources that auto generate articles from twitter headlines.

AWS flex used to be they did not tell you where the data centers are physically located, and availability zones are actually at least 50 to 100 miles apart, unlike Google and Azure where multi-AZ its just two firewalls in the same building... Good times. Now your cloud provider selection matrix looks like:

- Number of THAAD batteries within intercept range

- Active defense agreements with NATO member states

- Licensed Ukrainian anti-drone EW systems per facility

- Iron Dome coverage overlap percentage

AWS Shield is going to mean a Patriot battery included...We went from cloud is just someone else's computer to cloud is just someone else's military base...
