Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Monday the U.S. can afford to support both Ukraine and Israel in their respective war efforts without hindering the nation's economy.

Asked during an interview on Sky News whether the U.S. can afford to provide military aid to Israel and to Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia given the current debt-to-GDP ratio of 122%, Yellen said, "I think the answer is absolutely."

She continued: "America can certainly afford to stand with Israel and to support Israel's military needs, and we also can and must support Ukraine in its struggle against Russia. The American economy is doing extremely well."

Is this woman crazy?!??

So the US is going to fight a war with Iran, Russia, AND China?

When the US is led by and incompetent President and defended by a woke military whose mission is "diversity and inclusiveness"?

THERE WAS NO WAR WHEN TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT!

I’d love that as a constitutional amendment. Also, their personal income taxes go up based on how much we spend on a war. Unfortunately they are all enriched by war.

Right now the USA cannot afford to support any conflict. This administration has spent us into poverty while causing the citizens to struggle with inflation.

The attack on Israel may have been an intentional provocation by Iran to draw the USA into a war with Iran, Russia, and China.

America's enemies are aware of the unprecedented weakness of the US right now. The US President is an incompetent puppet. The military is woke. The newsmedia is mendacious and does not inform the public. The education system teaches students to hate their own country.

America's enemies have been watching for the right moment to strike. Maybe this is it.

There is a good possibility that Donald Trump will be re-elected President in November 2024. If so, he will restore the US to ascendancy, strength, power, and focus.

That leaves a window of opportunity for America's enemies between now and Trump's re-election. This would be the time to strike.

The world could hardly be in a more dangerous situation.

WAKE UP AMERICA!
WAKE UP NOW!

#9: "THERE WAS NO WAR WHEN TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT!"

President Trump did not want war. President Trump does NOT want war.

President Trump is not interested in war. War only helps the Deep State. Eisenhower warned us all.
