>Forgive me for my naive thinking. But as long as country have a military power, isn’t that the ultimate deciding factor?

It's not naive, it's the way life works even though we don't like to admit it. They got the bigger guns. They're in charge. Full stop.

A Constitution and laws just tells us the conditions under which they will use their guns. Even then, they can and will use them on other occasions if they feel the situation warrants.

The idea that companies or citizens are more powerful than governments is fanciful in the extreme. When companies get militaries that can go toe to toe with the militaries of the various governments of the world, then I'll buy it.
