transcendent Empire is a kind of historical progress over the
nation-state. But it can't advance beyond the limits set by the dominant
"network node", Washington/New York, while the USA draws strength from the

country not a member, Japan? Nothing progressive in a white supremacist
organization, last I heard - and that is what NATO unavoidably is.
