      What's you point? That if you had run your own DC in that region (because that was your business requirement) then you'd have better missile defense than AWS?

      Or maybe AWS or DIY, you are always responsible for geographic diversity?

      Anyone losing data over this lost it because they'd literally told AWS to only store it in one place.

        How about not bombing other countries and then acting surprised when retaliation happens? I mean clearly the problem isn't AWS as such - it is the problem that someone leading a country is totally clueless about the world. Only personal profit is in the interest of the orange clown.

          I get your main point, but just wanna point out that AWS is one of the largest military contractors in the world. They hold multi-billion dollar contracts from the DoD, USAF, CIA, and more. An estimated $4B a year in military spending goes to AWS
