Yellen Says Funding Ukraine’s War Effort Is the Best Boost for Global Economy
Breitbart ^ | 7/16/23 | Simon Kennedy

Posted on 07/16/2023 7:37:16 AM PDT by CFW

Redoubling financial backing for Ukraine in its war with Russia is the “single best” way to aid the global economy, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sunday.

She added boosting emerging economies and tackling debt distress also have their role to play alongside sending billions in taxpayer dollars to Kyiv.

AFP reports Yellen used the sidelines of a G20 finance ministers’ summit in India to reveal she would “push back” on criticism there was a tradeoff between aid to Ukraine and developing nations.

“Ending this war is first and foremost a moral imperative,” she told reporters in Gandhinagar. “But it’s also the single best thing we can do for the global economy.”

Her comments on Ukraine aid came one week after former Vice President Mike Pence said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday that defending Ukraine is in the best interest of the U.S., even though it is not “our war.”

Do we really need a war?

Wouldn’t it be simpler for everyone to just break a few windows?

Rarely has one person done more damage to the US and World economies than Janet Yellen by being Fed Chairman and Secretary of the Treasury.

I’m surprised she didn’t say, all the people getting killed in Ukraine is helps in the fight against Climate Change.

By her logic we should be getting into as many wars as we can. But don’t look for her own relatives to be participating in any of the conflicts.

The only thing that makes sense to me is this is deliberate.
Allowing hordes of low IQ people into the West, setting up a binary economic and political system…
Then the two systems clash.

"I’m surprised she didn’t say, all the people getting killed in Ukraine is helps in the fight against Climate Change."

If she doesn't, you can be sure one of her bunch will. Actually, they sort of have--any utterance from the piehole of a Malthusian has been telling us this from at least the 1970s. However, they never seem to be this first to volunteer.

Our moral indignation regarding human suffering is extremely selective. Sometimes it goes completely unnoticed, then other times we act as though it’s Armageddon. What’s interesting is how we go about choosing which humanitarian crises to wet our panties over, and which ones we find are totally meaningless. One might discover that our motives are not always so noble as we like to believe.
