I'm not buying free market capitalism with regards to strategic resources of another country. If 'we call that capitalism' is all it took, the US wouldn't need the military it has. Again, this feels like a simplistic view about a country with its own vision of the future...
You should because that's what these companies or "resources" are actually thinking. If you asked the CEO or shareholders who the company belongs to they'll claim it's theirs and that where it operates from is irrelevant. The US has the military it has because of capitalism, warfare costs tremendous amounts of money and resources and so a lucrative market was birthed.
It's just impossible to get my point across to some people. What happens when a company gets too big and is split by the government? Do the CEO and the shareholders go request this?
