On themost important stop of last week’s desperate mission to make the world safe for derivatives, US Treasury Secretary Geithner has been dealt a decisive rebuff. Geithner’s obvious attempt to sabotage the recent prohibition enacted by the German government against naked credit default swaps (among the most toxic of derivatives) was rejected in Berlin on Thursday by German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble.

In Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan, recent developments have upset the scaffolding set up by the U.S. through its colour revolutions to gain control over former USSR states. It is now Washington’s staunchest ally Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, propelled into power by the 2003 “revolution of the roses”, who is rocking the boat through his recent “real politik” rapprochement with Iran, causing a further shift in the configuration of alliances in the region.

But that world has disappeared.
