That sounds to me like a conditional:

> We are global because we are elite.

If not-elite then not-global.

or:

elite or not-global

or:

not (global and not-elite)

If that is meant to be true as an expression in propositional calculus then 
there is no conversation to be had.  A mean, small-minded provincialism is 
entailed by anything not-to-be-rejected or attacked.  But that is the logic of 
thugs, which is no logic but just the betrayal of the good faith of those for 
whom the form of logic stands for something real and valuable.  I see no reason 
to treat that as meaningful.  It is just a dominance behavior, and the 
appropriate response to it is to stay focused on throwing it off.
