This article, which provides perspective on FATCA from Russia is a very interesting read.
FATCA: A new generation of American laws – Of particular interest is a characterization of FATCA that:
It belongs to a new generation of American laws , which can be called extraterritorial . These are the laws that apply to a number of other countries , and sometimes even the whole world . These are laws that help build Washington Pax Americana.
FATCA: A new role for the IRS – The IRS Commissioner will govern the world
We are witnessing a unique alignment of the global system, “head” which is the U.S. agency , and all financial and banking organizations formally sovereign states coming under the administrative control of this department .
I’m not sure whether FATCA is a tool for building a Pax Americana or a Lex Americana or both.
The article referenced in the tweet from FATCA_fallout is written in Russian by a Russian. I don’t understand Russian so I ran it through Google Translate. Assuming the accuracy of the translation, the article is revealing. I have bolded some of the more interesting parts.
