Didn’t sound like a political point to me, just a reflective/thoughtful comparison.

Armies of lawyers I guess. Don't need soldiers if someone else is doing the enforcing.

I mean you are right that in absence of a judicial system and the monopoly on violence exercised by nation states and supranational treaties, a conflict such as this could have been violent.

Thankfully that world is far away.

I am pretty sure Samsung could mobilize a smaller army, with all the millitary gear they make.
