Every once in a while, you write something of real value. Yes, we have chosen, as a world, to allow multinational corporations to operate outside any deterrence structure.  They are now what the UN should have been but was never allowed to be. Is that permanent? Most likely not.

LOL, nobody's going to stop them.

As long as governments maintain a monopoly on the use of physical force, corporations have to comply.  Worst case: waving a checkbook at the 82nd Airborne Division seems a decided mismatch -- not it's likely to go that far.
