Marco Rubio Preparing to Join Biden in Destroying the World Economy
Armstrong Economics ^ | 15 April 22 | Martin Armstrong

Posted on 04/15/2022 6:39:57 PM PDT by delta7

The world has gone completely nuts and now even Republican Marco Rubio is drafting legislation to sanction China. Biden’s sanctions have totally destroyed the world economy, bringing globalization and world peace to an abrupt end. I have written to Marco Rubio in response to his Tweet, but I seriously doubt he will ever respond. “I realize that the chances of this ever being answered are minus zero. I will nonetheless publish this on ArmstrongEconomics.COM. I have advised nations and I have testified before the House Ways & Means Committee. These sanctions on Russia have already destroyed the world economy ending the integrity of the SWIFT system. Sanctions have NEVER worked even one time in history and every president before Biden sought world peace where now all we see is world war III. All of this nonsense has only ensured the end of the United States as the leader of the world economy. Even SWIFT told Obama no way in 2014 would they remove Russia from the system. Now SWIFT has committed suicide and Biden has divided the world economy. This will never return to normal and your proposal to sanction China is insane. In fact, the arrogance of the United States as the policeman of the world has only led to our inevitable demise. SWIFT is no longer the foundation of the world economy and this is ending the economic status of the dollar and the United States. No nation lasts forever and just as the arrogance of Athens led to the Peloponnesian War; we too have become far too arrogant sealing our own fate out of stupidity. Sanction China and you guarantee their alternative to SWIFT and once you terminate the goodwill, then without trade, they no longer have the incentive to participate in the world economy and thus it is no longer a threat to bite the hand that feeds you.” The European Union’s relations with China have also plunged to unprecedented new lows. The US has also floated these theories with allies in Europe to sanction China, with absolutely ZERO understanding of how the world economy even functions. World peace is established not by threats and a show or nuclear weapons. It is free trade that bound the Roman Empire together where conquered lands found it beneficial economically to be part of the Empire than on the outside, chucking spears across the border. By removing Russia from SWIFT and now threatening China with sanctions, if they dare to allow Russia to use their alternative, all I can say is the United States is doomed. Biden called Putin a war criminal, yet under this theory, President Johnson was a war criminal for the abuse of soldiers in Vietnam. There are allegations of war crimes against Americans from Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria for starters. So is Obama also a war criminal? These sorts of allegations GUARANTEE there will be no peace — EVER! Marco Rubio mentioned that he is mulling legislation to sanction China if it helps Moscow circumvent SWIFT sanctions. Once the trade is severed, there is no incentive to work together. The only thing that then resolves such disputes is war. We are watching India among many nations viewing the arrogance of America as a deterrent and pushing them into the arms of the alternative economy that is forming. Video Player

The US has been funding the Ukrainian Civil War because the Neocon hates Russians. They are now poking China and have the audacity to think threatening China with the same sanctions will cause them to fall to their knees and beg for forgiveness. This thinking is absolute lunacy. The American people are TIRED of endless wars. The US has been sending National Guard troops overseas. Reservists and National Guards are being sent overseas because we do not have the troops necessary. These are people who have families — not 18 years boys sent to die. These are also National Guard troops, who are NOT defending the nation, but other people. Looking closely at the National Guard’s website informs us that it has not one but two missions. The “state mission,” which you remember from your service, is to “provide trained and disciplined forces for domestic emergencies or as otherwise required by law.” There is also a “federal mission” to “maintain properly trained and equipped units available for prompt mobilization for war, national emergency, or as otherwise needed.” We have had National Guard troops overseas in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere being called in on the basis of this federal mission yet it is questionable if that is legal without a declaration of war. We need to be mindful that our politicians are quick to send people to die with no regard for their families left behind. There seems to be no serious thought about what is taking place, and it is all playing to the sound-bites.

Sorry to say, but Martin speaks the truth. Ironic, Russia and China are the only ones left to stand up against the Great Reset, Global warming, the new world socialists order. As I stated here many times, China will now be demonized. Don’t get sucked in. Cries in the wilderness, wake up America!

Micro Rubio should have been flushed in 2016 after his first amnesty vote.

Florida voters rewarded him with another term.

It’s looking more and more like Biden, with the help of Republicans like Rubio, will drag us into an economic hell.

' Once the trade is severed, there is no incentive to work together. '

China took the other view. Once trade is established, they can get away with anything. Even after killing and helping to kill Americans in Vietnam and Korea, nobody in the West cares. Just as long as they build stuff over there, and import it here for profit.

Sorry, I can’t get into a huge block of unformatted text, so I’ll just speak about the overall topic:

Sanctions on China are good, especially if it helps to get Americans more self-dependent rather than near total China-dependence we now find ourselves locked into.

Right now China has us by the short hairs, we need to end that status quo ASAP.

In all honesty, Biden isn’t dragging us into anything.
The mindless old pig is nothing more than a meat puppet.
We need to figure who actually owns him and direct our attention there.

The OP forgot Iran. Along with China and Russia, the mullahs are on the side of American conservatives as well in opposing evil in all its forms, especially one world socialism / authoritarianism. God bless those three saintly nations.

——— Then go to his website. Your loss. As I said, demonizing Russia, then China, for ever war, both hot and financially, guarantees the US destruction. …let me guess, you bought into the MSM tripe and was vaxed?
You are being played by the bad Vlad WAR cheerleaders, learn to rid yourself of emotions, take a step back, and think for yourself. Good luck.

Russia should be a natural, Christian ally.

China is the real enemy and should have been the focus of these sanctions, not Russia. China has been infiltrating and robbing America for decades and they need to be dealt with.

BJ Clinton made a fortune selling secrets to China. Biden crime family has made their fortune of Ukraine, who they are now risking WW3 to protect.

China is the real enemy
———
The real enemy are the globalists, Russia and China are standing in the way. They don’t buy into Global warming, the Great Reset, Green new deal, gay marriage, Lgdtq agendas, gay marriage, guaranteed income, open borders, cashless society, etc….everything the West is pushing. Both Russia and China see the harm to society and mankind by the now corrupted Western agenda.

There was a time when the U.S. did not depend upon Russia nor China for doing great economically.

We can get back to those times, even if we have to sacrifice a little until we get there.

Neither China nor Russia have our best interests at heart, and we should not trust them now or in the future.

Both China and Russia have our destruction as their biggest goals. Why should we help them by keeping their economies strong?

China is eating our lunch and Russia is wanting to join in. Putin/Russia want power, but at our expense. China already has huge power, and most of what they have now has been at our expense.

Stop the madness.

I don’t like Biden, and I’m not a great fan of Rubio, but, I hate what the Russians and Chinese have in mind for us.

Nope, I don’t care about Russia-Ukraine. Not our circus, nor our monkeys. Let them fight it out by themselves. It’s all just neocon BS anyway.

China is a different story. Neither Russia or Ukraine has their hooks dug deep into the US. China all but owns the country.

It doesn’t require war, but rather the US weaning itself off of it’s near-total dependency on China. We had self dependency - it required no wars. Americans just need to learn to grow their own country again by adopting the America-first policy.

Good Friday, wasting my posting time after services, the help I have is Discernment, a gift. America is being deceived once again by corrupted leadership, the massive Covid vax hoax was not enough for you to see, everything Vegetable Joe does or supports is evil. You have been sucked in, nothing new under the sun.
The bright side- prepare for Revival. Every historic, Biblical revival has been preceded by a nation being deceived, then brought to its knees. I am amazed at the calls for war, not Peace.
My advice, find a Church, praise and worship- daily thanks and you will do well, even prosper in the days ahead.
Good Luck.

I live in the redding airport flight path.

Military planes rarely come through here.
Today it’s like an air show with them.
Things are ramping up.

And these asswipes arent helping things.
