You can't know who is from where on the internet. IP address is not a reliable factor to use for location. For example my IP address may say I am from north pole while I'm actually from south pole... What happens is that someone from a country with access to a much bigger bandwidth and cheaper internet would change their IP to appear as being from another country that mostly has lower bandwidth to attack the chain there with their higher "stake".
You're right, but you can only spoof originating IP, but not destination IP and it is destination IP that matters according to what I propose.
