"I want to sell Muammar Gaddafi a plane; he wants to buy one. But there are economic sanctions against him, and the United States of America wants him dead. If you help me get approval to sell him the plane, I'll build it with explosive bolts attached to the wings. Then one day when he's flying over the Mediterranean, we press the button. He disappears, I sell my goods, and everyone is happy!" This is a proposed deal between two members of the global superclass that governs the world, a class that makes thousands of deals over breakfast, forms alliances over appetizers, and finances wars while attending cocktail parties.
