Американский журнал Foreign Policy составил рейтинг 100 "глобальных мыслителей" современности. "а мужики-то не знают.."
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/article...lobal_thinkers

Имена-то какие у этих "глобальных мыслителей"! №90 Anne-Marie Slaughter - "скотобойня"! Выступает за создание глобализованной сетевой политики, влияющей на политические процессы во всём мире:

Скрытый текст:

...she regularly argues for the creation of a newly networked, globalized foreign policy, one that takes into account the immense changes reshaping the world of diplomacy. "[T]he traditional tools of fighting, talking, pressuring, and persuading government-to-government really aren't working so well," she wrote in July. "Thirty years of urging reform produced next to nothing; 6 months of digitally and physically organized social protests and a political earthquake is shaking the broader Middle East."

А перед ней - №89 Paul Farmer - "крестьянин, фермер". Один выращивает баранов (медик-антрополог) - другой тут же забивает...

№17 Mark Zuckerberg - "гора сахара" - обещает всем сладкую жизнь, способствуя "твиттерным" (а, точнее, в данном случае - "фейсбуковым") революциям по всему миру:

Скрытый текст:

And in many ways, 2011 was the year that Facebook met global politics. The company attracted both awe from its business peers and criticism from human rights groups with its forays into the Chinese Internet market, while Egyptian Facebook groups became the vanguard of the movement that eventually brought down one of the world's oldest dictatorships. Zuckerberg may downplay his role in this year's uprisings, but it's not for nothing that one prominent online activist, Google's Wael Ghonim, personally thanked the Facebook CEO in the wake of Hosni Mubarak's ouster. The social networking giant has the power to change the world for the better.

Ещё один "сахарный человек" - №73 Ethan Zuckerman - друг и твиттерный подельник Скотобойни (№90).

Навальный (перевод не требуется) занял в этом рейтинге мощных "глобальных мыслителей" (а, точнее, твиттерных крыс - разжигателей революций) место №24. Неплохо поработал, старался. Надеюсь, его надолго прикроют: не хотелось бы, как в Египте...

№26 - англичанин David Beers - "пиво". Просто пиво. Но пиво - это, как известно, удар по почкам и всему остальному. Вот оно и ударило - по глобальной экономике:

Скрытый текст:

<...> In August, the division of Standard & Poor's he heads sent shock waves through the global economy by downgrading the United States' sovereign-credit rating from AAA to AA+. <...> Beers later targeted Greece, Italy, and Spain with S&P downgrades as well, a move viewed as so damaging that the European Union is considering banning agencies from assessing countries receiving bailouts. <...>

№53 Samantha Power - "сила, власть". Считает - и рекомендует президенту Обаме и прочим мировым лидерам - что задача США состоит в применении силы для предотвращения "злодеяний против прав человека" в любой стране мира (как это было сделано в Ливии):

Скрытый текст:

Power, whose Pulitzer-winning book on genocide first brought her to Barack Obama's attention, has a more influential perch than ever -- and by all accounts, the president's ear -- to advance her argument that the United States has a duty to halt atrocities. "If we are to bring about an end to the world's worst atrocities," as she once put it, "there has to be the creation of political noise and political costs in response to massive crimes against humanity." Although the U.S. record may be spotty, world leaders are increasingly adopting Power's views, as the intervention in Libya showed. And with American flags now being waved there, not burned, Power and the Obama administration are proving that humanitarian intervention isn't only the right thing to do -- it can also be good for U.S. interests.
