US Support For Israel, Ukraine 'Top Priorities': Yellen
Agence France Presse ^ | October 11, 2023 | Staff Report

Posted on 10/11/2023 6:26:59 PM PDT by The_Media_never_lie

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Wednesday that providing support to Ukraine and Israel are "absolute top priorities" for the United States and she expects bipartisan support despite political upheaval in Congress.

The ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy last week by Republican hardliners has raised concerns about a prolonged paralysis in Congress.

Military and economic support for Ukraine "along with resources for Israel are our absolute top priorities for the Biden administration," Yellen said.

"We've made that completely clear to Congress, and we believe there is substantial bipartisan support," she said at a press conference on the sidelines of IMF-World Bank meetings in Marrakesh, Morocco.

“US Support For Israel, Ukraine ‘Top Priorities’: Yellen”

I understand Israel, but what is this “Ukraine”, maybe a company that rents out construction equipment?

Either way, hopefully Hamas is QUICKLY crushed.

Israel is going to be tied to Ukraine with US politicians and the nutjob in the White House.

How about talking about foreign aid, military or otherwise, AFTER we have secured our border and removed illegal aliens from our own country?

Military and economic support for Ukraine "along with resources for Israel are our absolute top priorities for the Biden administration," Yellen said.

Eff Yellen. Eff Ukraine. There are zero American interests in Ukraine. Yellen is an economic moron. She should be concern with America’s finances.

Did you know the U.S. went another 1/2 trillion dollars in debt … now get this … in the last 20 days.

She’s supposed to talk about finance, not foreign affairs.

We already support Israel and they have more than enough firepower and manpower to wipe Hamas out by themselves - the only new support they need from us is to keep Biden and Blinken from jumping in at the last minute to rescue Hamas from extinction.

We all know the idiot calls to "come to the negotiating table" from this administration are coming.

Biden admin Brings out Yellen to speak on matters that do not come under her cabinet position or authority because they know all she really is is a political mouthpiece and an expert on nothing. That was why after a disastrous tenure as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Obama made her Chiarmaan of the Federal Reserve, where she continued extra low interest rates far longer than was good, because they served to help keep government bond rates and borrowing costs down, offsetting spending increases Obama wanted. She has always been a dutilful political shill in all her goverenment roles.

We don't have the resources to support both and maintain a reasonable defense for the nation.

End any and all funding to Ukraine immediately. Scalise needs to get that message from the base of the party.

“How about a little support for the US? There are hordes of military aged males invading our southern border.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The thing is, Americas vital interests are on several fronts.

- At our southern border...
- Inside America too..
- Outside America as well...

If we want to act strongly against illegal immigrants at he border do we have to sacrifice resources elsewhere like defunding the police? Of course not. We must do BOTH at the same time.

If we want to have security in the long run in America against NeoSovietism and Islamism, do we need to abandon our allies and let them be invaded by neoSoviet military and Islamic onslaughts? Of course not we must help to repel BOTH at the same time.

Our economy can only survive if we do business with our allies and vice-versa.
Allies stick together. We need them, they need us.

If our Israeli allies successfully repel the Islamists,
If our Ukrainian allies successfully repel the neoSoviets,

It will greatly strengthen America’s position in the world and its monetary power. All that is vital for American citizens economies and Americas economy as a whole.

If we are only capable of handling one front at a time... we will be REPLACED by our enemies who have ZERO problems in handling several fronts all over the place.

If our enemies can handle several fronts, so can we right? We are America.

Unfortantly, they are already here.😡. We need Trump back to deport them. Even then, prepare for riots. In fact, just prepare for 2025.
