Despite the obvious inconsistencies and all the signs of a forgery, the US used the provocation in Bucha as a pretext for imposing new sanctions against Russia. A complete list of restricted individuals and companies will be published in the coming hours, but it is already known that it included Sberbank and Alfa-Bank. True, an exception has been made for them for operations with payment for Russian energy carriers. Both banks have already reported that they are working as usual. Against this background, the Russian ruble only strengthened – the dollar exchange rate today fell below 80 rubles. But Joe Biden, who announced the sanctions, had to give way to his former boss, Barack Obama, in the White House. Why is the President of the United States left alone?
New US sanctions a direct consequence of massive information attack on Russia, part of it. Under the gun are banks blocking restrictions imposed against Sberbank and Alfa-Bank, as well as Russian officials. But the main goal is the Russian financial system. Her America is again trying to rock.
“Russia doesn’t have unlimited resources, especially now with the crippling sanctions we’ve put in place. They’ll have to choose between draining their remaining dollar reserves, spending new revenue, or defaulting,” Psaki said.
However, as usual, they thought about themselves. Calculations that relate to the payment of energy resources are removed from restrictions even in banks that have fallen under sanctions. The White House has special hopes for the US Treasury. This department said that it would not issue permission to Russia to make dollar payments on the national debt from the accounts of Russian government agencies in US banks. Frozen foreign exchange reserves of $300 billion also considered leverage.
“In agreement with the G7, an additional wide package of sanctions measures that will entail further economic, financial and technological isolation (of Russia). These measures will lead to the degradation of key instruments of Russian state power and will cause acute and immediate economic damage to Russia as well,” – adds Psaki.
They want something, that’s it a dollar of two hundred rubles from Biden also sawand, in reality, the ruble is strengthening. And in the UN Security Council, the Americans have already understood the limits of their capabilities. No matter how much he blackmails, no matter how many ultimatums he gives, all this is just empty talk.
“The Security Council is the result of the creation of the UN after the Second World War. They [Россия] are members of the Security Council. It is a fact. We can’t change it, but we can certainly isolate them in the Security Council,” said US Permanent Representative to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
How she will do this, Permanent Representative Thomas-Greenfield did not specify. Probably because such isolation is impossible.
But Joe Biden the day before, right in the White House, experienced a feeling of real loneliness when his mastermind Barack Obama looked there on the 12th anniversary of the adoption of the Obamacare health insurance law.
“Thank you very much. My name is Joe Biden and I’m Barack Obama’s vice president…” the 46th President of the United States introduced himself.
This is no ordinary Biden slip. In this case, the President of the United States tried to joke about his own reservations, but it turned out not funny. Obama was still in the spotlight.
“Thank you all, take a seat,” Obama felt himself again the head of the White House. “Thank you, Vice President Biden. It was a joke. (Biden and Obama embrace) It was all set up, my President Biden, Vice President Harris.”
It was evident that the former president in the White House still felt at home. Not even forgetting that he is visiting.
“It’s nice to be back in the White House. It’s been a long time. I confess I’ve heard that the current president has made some changes since I was last here. Apparently Secret Service agents now have to wear aviator glasses. The dining room has been replaced “Baskin Robbins. And there’s a cat running around somewhere, I guarantee you, Bo and Sunny (Biden’s dogs) would be unhappy with this,” Barack Obama continued the joking wave.
Obama seemed to be trying to please his former vice president by joking about his love for certain glasses or ice cream, but it turned out the other way around. At some point, Biden was simply forgotten. Obama was surrounded by an excited crowd. Lonely American President all that was left was to shrug.
In general, Biden was literally out of touch with reality. And in world affairs, notes the American Conservative, this happens to the current administration all the time.
According to Douglas McGregor, the author of the material, American voters would prefer Washington to focus on strengthening the economy and containment, rather than a war with Russia.
“Nevertheless, from now on and indefinitely, the use of American military power in the Eastern Hemisphere will carry the potential for war with more than one first-class power in more than one region of the world at the same time. Great work, Mr. President,” McGregor remarks sarcastically .
And ahead, judging by what the US Secretary of State says, there is even more work to be done.
“In the future, the United States with other allies and partners have already delivered, or will soon deliver to Ukraine, 10 anti-tank systems for each individual Russian tank. And also that it will help them act quickly and effectively to fight aircraft that fire at them from the sky. And also against the tanks that are trying to destroy their cities,” lists Anthony Blinken.
The Americans are not just supplying weapons to Ukraine. They continue to train those who will fight with it.
“Are we now teaching Ukrainians somewhere outside of Ukraine?” asks Rep. Michael Waltz.
“To use some of the weapons, of course, you need to go through training, and we are doing it (for Ukrainians),” Austin replies.
“Great, that’s fantastic, and thank you,” says Waltz.
“Training takes place right here in the military schools of the United States,” says Mark Milley.
But for those who are actively engaged in Zelensky’s PR, this is not enough. On Fox News they called Sean Penn, who, imitating his new Kiev buddies, has been wearing only khakis for some time now. Sean Penn also demanded that American planes be handed over to Ukraine.
“Listen, the delivery (of aircraft) could happen tomorrow. They could get F-16S. We know this from the California National Guard, who trained with Ukrainian pilots for 30 years, and was there in Ukraine shortly before the invasion began. So that, I think, we need to think again about it,” says Sean Penn of the delivery of aircraft. “At the moment it is really a humanitarian mechanism.”
Sean Penn doesn’t have to think about the consequences. In the end, he is not the director of everything that happens. But columnist Llewellyn Rockwell urges those writing the script for a potential apocalypse to think about the consequences.
“Warmongers are taking huge risks, even to themselves. Putin is not the maniac he is portrayed to be, but rather a cautious statesman pursuing Russia’s legitimate security interests. Zelensky need not worry. The United States is leading us into a nuclear war. proxy with Russia, using the Ukrainians as his tool, not to end the conflict, but to prolong it,” Llewellyn Rockwell puts the situation on the shelves.
However, they do not even think about adjusting plans in the USA.
Joe Biden ordered allocate even more military aid to Kiev. This time for one hundred million dollars, and part of these funds will go just for training, and not for the armament itself. The Pentagon also took care of the needs of Ukraine in the fuel sector. Negotiations were held, which confirms the fact of the beginning of interruptions with fuel.
