A Washington in Decay Threatens the World
United States Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, went on to threaten the world by stating that governments ‘undermining’ sanctions on Russia will not go unnoticed.
She issued a warning to those countries who according to her are ” sitting on the fence” about issuing sanctions against Russia. She was cited as saying that such “short sighted” policies will not go unnoticed.
Joe Biden was getting pooped on by a bird in Iowa while accusing the Russians of his own failed policies at home. Secretary Yellen feels compelled to threaten the rest of the world if they do not join the United States in its commitment to pushing Russia “further towards economic, financial, and strategic isolation.”
She went on to say, “And let’s be clear, the unified coalition of sanctioning countries will not be indifferent to actions that undermine the sanctions we’ve put in place.”
She is referring mainly to China and India who have refused to sanction Russia and have chosen to look for a diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian conflict instead.
The United States justifies the sanctions by saying they are necessary because the future of the international order “both for peaceful security and economic prosperity,” is now at stake.
The reality is this so-called coalition, is nothing more than a group of decadent countries. France, Germany, Britain, and the United States. Countries like China and India do not agree completely with the policies these countries have adopted towards the Ukrainian conflict, but the United States feels they have the right to tell others how to conduct their foreign affairs.
It is laughable to see the Biden administration issuing empty threats to China. China has adopted a neutral position towards the conflict and Washington has gone on to warned Beijing of “the implications and consequences” which would follow if China decided to support Russia.
Taking in consideration the fact that China is financing much of our debt and holds the cards to our financial future, I am sure Beijing is very scared of the Biden administration and its rhetoric.
In his meeting with India’s Prime Minister Modi, Biden offered to help in the search for other sources of energy, telling the prime minister ‘It is not in India’s interests to increase its dependence on Russia.’
That is even funnier since we do not produce energy for local consumption but are offering to resolve India’s energy problems. Only an incompetent person like Joe Biden would think this is actually a viable solution.
Perhaps Joe Biden feels compelled to help the comedian Zelensky, after all, “the Big Guy” owes him big, but the rest of the world may feel differently.
We need more transparency from the Ukrainian government before we commit more resources and make more demands from our partners.
Unfortunately, the United States is a country in decay so resorting to empty threats and bellicose rhetoric is all we have left.
