And you called my comment stupid? lol, too funny!
Undoubtedly the most important infrastructure in todays world is the POWER GRID. No state can independently exist if it's power grid is controlled by some other state(s). It would be foolish to even attempt it and pretty much guarantee a return to 18th century for a sizable number until an independent grid could be built.
We can do this peacefully this time or have a desperate war and a struggle to the bitter end. I am good either way.
