NP - Krugman: Petrothoughts (Via Kevin Drom)

[alice malice]

America has cheese for the cats, and more pieces on the baord.

Putin's loyal fat cats will play with America's ball of yarn, they too
can play rat catcher after the mice are eaten.

With deals with the International American Energy conglomerates not
damaged much by America's sanctions, Putin's boys will play with
America, Germany and the EU. Forget the China deal for Mr P., it's
meaningless.

 Putin can't be comfortable with the fact that the military piece is
not all that powerful for either player. The political one, even
America's deal with Nazis that help establish a favorable government,
is far more powerful that Nuclear bombs and tanks. That is why those
opposed to the Empire keep calling this a new cold war. But it isn't a
cold war. The nukes and tanks are not backing pieces here but are
useless.

The big pieces are all economic. and on the economic board America has
no rival. America has three queens and Russia has none. And even
Russia's Knights, gas and oil are stuck on the side of the board.

Meanwhile, the US economy is just hitting its stride. 2015 will be
very good, even for us poor folk, at least we will keep on slaving
away.
