this is the art of the deal, i suppose - make shit up and throw it in their face and then demand something be done about it.

i've been arguing for years that the neo-liberals - and also the marxists trying to analyze them - were wrong to reject the age of empires in favour of some kind of transnational conspiracy of capital. those class interests were always lurking. their arguments always ranged from naive to preposterous.

but, here we have it.

i don't even know how to analyze this. it's just ridiculous. look at this language:

"Tillerson will also charge Russia with..."

what?

they don't appear to be attempting to work through any legal institution. they literally appear to be planning on marching into moscow and yelling at them.

i guess the russians should let them finish their tantrum, suggest it's nappy time for rex and then tell the delegation to bring it up at the security council?

if i was in moscow, i would have absolutely no patience for this kind of idiocy.
