I was referencing the claims made in the post I replied to. I can't imagine what it is you're having so much difficulty with about that.

Hah. Australia's economy is built entirely around two things. 1. Extracting fossil fuels and minerals. 2. "services". During a global catastrophe Australia would run out of fuel within a few months, fertilizer not long after

Sure. And you can run ARM workloads in hardware ARM mode.

ARM can emulate z workloads. https://hercules-390.github.io/html/index.html (or QEMU, for partition level emulation).

This is extremely complicated though, and generally misunderstood by internet experts. There might be some trivial situational examples where a soldier can plainly see an order would be a crime. Executing a prisoner for example. Orders like
