Yet corporations still embrace this illusion when it comes to, say, operating in those nations. It's a borderless world for them, just not for us.

Warmongers will never cease to monger war, I guess. What you've written is massively jingoistic; yes certain forces seem oddly desperate to talk a war into existence - I guess all those solar panels coming out of CN are disrupting certain money flows on a permanent-looking basis - but the absence of any actual, idk, military buildup will be harder to explain away. Unless you just deepfake the war. Which is probably what will happen.

Why are you conflating the concept of "nation" with that of a "state"? These are two words with different meanings. This just strikes me as meaningless friction to cause domestic arms production.
