I agree, you actually always have to work with other companies. The alternative is not possible. In general it is very easy and safe to work with companies in the same country as you, as they are bound by identical laws to you and litigation and control is relatively easy.

What direct evidence exists to say that globalism clearly contribute to long peace? As far as I know, there is only proof of globalism failing to contribute to peace, where invading nations continue their invasions even after heavy sanctions.

It absolutely is a defense. We outsourced to company X, who is bound by law and contract not to engage in illegal actions. Company X, without our knowledge or approval subcontracted illegally.

If this is true, we just need to make companies liable for their subcontractors. They apparently know they can escape responsibility by farming out work they're not supposed to do.

The Amazon and HBO are the victims here. They were the ones harmed and deceived.
