I think that's past the point OP was making. Amazon makes some pretty impressive guarantees of data durability but those guarantees only hold up if you take their advice and replicate data to other regions. It's like saying "Oh this car manufacturer claimed that their cars were the safest in the industry but couldn't prevent this driver from flying through the windshield" and omitting the fact the person wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

No, it's more like willing to work with dictatorships across the world brings inherit risk. No one was forcing Amazon to make deals with oligopolies and monarchies in the middle east. No one was forcing Amazon to engage with US imperialism. Like these things have extremely large threads connecting to one another. Now AWS, along with other American big tech companies, are legitimate military targets. This is what happens when you engage in these practices. You don't get to serve the interests of US imperialism and claim you're innocent. They deliberately signed up for this, there is a long history of this in US imperialism. It's nothing new. Next time you don't want missiles raining down upon your data center, don't engage yourself in imperial politics. You won't be shocked next time when someone punches you in a face.
