It’s Not Just U.S. Generals Who Are Confused on Ukraine. Yellen Is Worse.

The U.S. media continually lie about the status of the War in Ukraine. So, it’s not surprising most Americans don’t know what’s going on.

The much-proclaimed Ukrainian “summer offensive” toward the Sea of Azov failed catastrophically within days of being launched in early June. Casualties were high, numerous Leopard tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles were left burning on the battlefield, and the Ukrainians never made it to the outer perimeter of Russian defenses but were annihilated in the grey zone between the two battle lines.

The Ukrainians then pretended this was not the main offensive but merely a probe and that the “real” offensive would come last week. If that was the plan, it also failed and the second offensive was defeated badly.

But the kinetic war is not the only war going on. There’s also a financial war led by the United States against Russia. That is failing as badly for the U.S. as the kinetic war.

The Russian ruble is doing fine, the Russian economy will grow faster than the U.S. in 2023, and Russian inflation is slightly lower than U.S. inflation. Russian oil sales are at all-time highs. This has left “General” Janet Yellen sputtering.

In this article, she claims additional aid to Ukraine (which has been badly wasted and completely unaccounted for so far) is the “single best” way to aid the global economy, including the U.S. That’s complete nonsense.

Ukraine is a financial black hole where the aid money is stolen by oligarchs and neo-Nazis. The best way to help the U.S. economy is to end the sanctions, sit down at the peace table and end the war.

At least the incompetent U.S. generals can blame their failures on the Ukrainians. Janet Yellen is the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury and has no one to blame but herself.
