What's the opinion on certain high risk countries where there's a high likelihood of the artifacts simply being destroyed? If I remember correctly ISIS and other similar organizations have burned or bombed several historical sites before.

I upgraded my PC with my Bitcoin. Making $800 off a $20 investment was a great deal IMO.
I wish I'd forgotten to check on it...
My head canon was always that the eye was just a spell or a possession ability he had while he was working to come back (which required the ring).
My wife is in my phone as her real name, but only because that puts her at the top of the list in my favorites (her name starts with 'A')
Not my deepest darkest secret, but my mom did pull apart my torn pants to flash an entire wedding party my underwear after I accidentally ripped my pants on a swing set (outdoor wedding). I was trying to quietly leave without drawing attention and she deliberately showed it off to like 50 people who all laughed.
So yeah, that one haunts me pretty regularly.
Yeah. There was a post the other day about a CEO that got a 1.2B payout and then gave her staff a first class ticket and $10k in cash. The cost amount to less than 1% of the payout for selling the company that those same staff helped make successful.
And everyone was arguing about how the CEO didn't have to give anything at all, so complaining about any of it was just being greedy. Totally ignoring the fact that there's no way the CEO represented 99.5% of the effort to make the company successful.
They don't even see it as a problem and seem happy with whatever minor crumbs the rich are willing to hand out, totally ignoring that what they've been handed is a tiny fraction of what was stolen.
Who do you recognize as the authority to make that decision though? If the locals are currently ruled by a terrorist group or Nazis or whatever, do they get to decide? What about the locals that disagree with the government currently in power?
And an answer of 'if we just didn't needlessly meddle' might be the ideal, but it's ignoring the realities that we have meddled and some countries are unlikely to stop doing so. We have to accept the world we have not the one we wished we had.
