they have the ports and the economic crossroads, as well as control of the infrastructure built by their predecessors, who were much greater than they are. simple as.
Ports wouldn't matter in the short term. Not real sure about economic crossroads, but any sort of actual widespread insurrection would collapse the financial system, which is their source of power. Without that, they don't even control the military.
good luck taking it from them. by having control of the economy they have all the wealth and therefore all of the arms, ammunition, and advanced technology to use against us. combine that with a strangle hold on the propaganda machine and they have an infinite supply of soldiers.
Speaking in pure utility, a direct assault is not the way to go. The propaganda machine needs to be thoroughly dismantled first, after that it's a simple matter of hearts and minds. as the regime starves and deprives more and more people, it's only matter time without their propaganda hold.
