Debt Is The Weapon Of Choice:
The game is not about geographic boundary control anymore. These are left for political hyenas.
The real game is electronic financial control of debts, dues, credits, fees, and trades of any abstract asset.
The reason why the last few years have seen debt products the likes of which defies quantum physics in their multiplying complexity, is that debts are swapped around like a leash among two dog owners.
When the world fears for that "chip in the neck" type of individual control, every consumer already carries it in multiple cards.
The American consumers, and the rest of the world for that matter, already bought and applied the leash themselves.
We now wait to be taken on a walk.
