You missed her point. Donahue asked how we would go about getting oil if it weren't for the state, and she responded by reminding him that it was the state itself (through "altruism") that created the problem by making a bad contract.

nonono dude. it's YOU that missed HER point. Her position is that any capitalist nation has the right to invade any noncapitalist nation. Greater freedom through imperialism. Weeeee!

She's not a philosopher. She's a trashy hack apologist for the worst excesses of united states imperialism.
This is the stuff of press secretaries, not philosophers. Also, "objectivism" is just pure branding. There's nothing unique or interesting in any of her "philosophy"
