I would be cool if america had a modifier for better encryption unless they lose control of arizona.
If it's a reference to a film or a US saying I don't get it. However, it must be said that stealing a code is much easier (and faster) than decrypting it. Example: If to decrypt the Black code or Enigma (both considered impregnable by their owners) it takes, for example, 5 months (and 5 months in war is an absolutely long time, where literally anything can happen) and if to steal it it takes me a month. What is convenient? In addition I want to point out that many countries did not trust their own secret services: The NKVD warned Stalin of a possible attack on the USSR within a month. Stalin ignored them. But he did not ignore, then, that the Japanese would never attack the USSR (and he moved those very useful divisions from east to west). Canaris, for example, was not a loyal adolf loyalist ... so the German secret services did not give their best. US intelligence warned the president of a probable attack on Saturday or Sunday in a short time. The president ignored them (perhaps deliberately to enter the war by force, after having embargoed Japan by removing all its oil and rubber). So it's not that different from nowadays (and pardon the example) that the French government ignores warnings about possible Islamic bombers in France today (which has happened too many times)

No it's a reference to the real Navajo code talkers who come from Navajo nation which is mostly located within Arizona. Which @Ketchup & friends literally linked.

Presumably if you took over Arizona you'd have an easier time decrypting communications in Navajo and would no longer be as useful as it was during the war.

'Connor later stated, "Were it not for the Navajos, the Marines would never have taken Iwo Jima."[38]'

I wont even comment on you waxing poetic about politicians and your assumptions about intelligence.
