After thinking about this a bit more, one angle is: The State ceases to be a target because "The State" ceases to exist - as a single, ideological and economic unit. And instead fractures into uncountable sovereign collectives on their own private property with their own threat models, resources, and defensive capabilities.
Does China want to invade "The USA"? or does it want to invade "exactly all of N micro-sovereigns in X territorial area - all of which are heterogeneous and hard targets"? Only the former.
Governments can't fund war without quantitative easing - I get that.
But someone help me out with the game theory here: if there exist adversaries that wish you harm and will debase their own currency to attack you, how do you defend yourself on a sound money standard long enough to wait out their currency collapse?
Shorter: your violent enemies can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
