This is chiefly a response to Michael Hudson's article in which he interpreted the new IMF rule changes as posing dire consequences for both Russia and China. Mercouris brings his legal experience to contribute to an understanding of this very complicated situation.

One day it may indeed come to that.  However for the moment the situation is not quite as bad as Michael Hudson thinks.
