The United States Treasury Dept is planning to send officials to key parts of the globe to act as enforcers for western sanctions against Russia. Essentially, it’s a blackmail and extortion tour, where Liz Rosenberg and Brian Nelson will visit non-compliant nations and central Western banking hubs to threaten foreign nations against continued noncompliance.

Or . . . instead of the stick, they might use the carrot (U.S. taxpayer dollars), in which case WE are the ones acquiescing to the non-compliant nations’ blackmail and extortion.

Morons. They cannot see that the world has had enough of putting up with DC’s bullcrap.
The bully and thug routine just doesn’t cut it anymore.
The Saudis, Iranians and Houthis are burying the hatchet. Jordan and the Saudis are reopening relations with Syria. Hell, the Saudi leader invited to Iranian leader to the opening of the Saudi embassy in Syria. Turkey and Syria are talking. China is in the middle of all of it.

The Saudis are like your girlfriend leaving you for you worst enemy and they both turn their back on you and ignore you.

Biden and Blinken have been trying to set up a phone call with Xi for about 6 weeks and nobody is answering.

And the assclowns in DC care not getting the hint.

They could try, but the world is also turning away from the dollar. Bad things are in the wind. The dollar bribes won’t work anymore because they know we are broke. The threats of attack and color revolution don’t work anymore after the color revolutions in Kazakhstan and Belarus in 2022 were both repelled and we failed to overthrow Assad in Syria.
Sanctions? Hell, it seems like half the planet is under sanctions anymore.
Eventually it makes sense to throw in with everyone else under sanctions and make a go of it.

DC is hollow and the world sees it. They laugh at Biden, see the perversion and massive corruption, and judge America is done.

"And the assclowns in DC care not getting the hint."

Because they don't view them as of much of a threat as the people living in those red areas of the United States. They have been telling us that as far back as Obama.

America was done the moment our government put the entire nation under house arrest.

The more I see, the more I am convinced that this truly an existential war - for the DC deep state.

Hard to throw your weight around when you need to beg for another trillion or two every year for Congress’s perpetual spending spree. Just imagine what the begathon will be like when we aren’t the world’s reserve currency and US treasury bonds aren’t where you put your money for long term stability against the standard currency.

Agree... they are cornered. And this makes this an exceedingly dangerous time. Cornered criminals and animals tend to lash out.

And, we're all likely to suffer as de-dollarization accelerates.

Top sanctions officials from the U.S. Treasury Department plan special international trips this month to pressure firms and countries still doing business with Russia to cut off financial ties because of the war on Ukraine.

The message is that those working with Russia’s government must decide:

1. Continue to provide Moscow with material support or

2. Keep doing business with countries that represent 50 percent of the global economy.

*************

This Special Financial Operation(SFO) being run out of DC is pure blackmail.

Also, where do people called “top sanctions officials” fit on the Wall Street Journal free commerce paradigm?

From an outsiders view, it seems antithetical to what globalist business mouthpieces have been preaching the last 30 or 40 years.

Macron made his point
“The worst thing we Europeans could do would be to be followers on this topic and to adapt to the American rhythm and a Chinese overreaction,’ he was quoted as saying. ‘Why should we go at a rhythm chosen by someone else?’

INCREDIBLE - they’re right next to China, don’t even need to use the dollar or euro anymore, don’t want Drag Queen shows, and know that our militaries are spent. Why should they give a damn what we think?
