The government doesnt have to accept. If this proposal is going to knock out power for half your country and you accept that deal you should be thrown in prison.

It looks like they are pushing back. But when you have neither nukes nor a drone fleet, there are limits to what you can say to a US company.

My list of political figures that should have been thrown in prison but haven't keeps growing, and I'm starting to suspect there are sorely lacking checks and balances on most politicians.

no, how it works is the government accepts, the political leaders get rich, and anyone who fights this gets thown in jail.
