Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned China of “serious consequences” if it helps Russia evade U.S. sanctions, calling for even tighter economic restrictions on Moscow as the Ukraine war nears its one year mark.

“We have made clear that providing material support to Russia or assistance with any kind of systemic sanctions evasion would be a very serious concern for us,” Yellen said at the Group of 20 meeting in India on Thursday. “We will certainly continue to make clear to the Chinese government and the companies and banks in their jurisdiction about what the rules are regarding our sanctions and the serious consequences they would face for violating them.”

“HAHAHA yeah right. China could care less.”

Yep, China has us right where they want us, and now they’re probably going to do just what we’ve scolded them about, just to spite us. And then let’s see what happens...maybe we’ll shutdown our Walmarts, Targets, most of Amazon, and our military production lines (since they now heavily rely on China for raw materials and piece parts). That will sure TEACH CHINA A LESSON, LOL.

What “serious consequences” could the Biden regime apply to the Chinese Communist Party that could have any significant bearing on relations between Russia and China?

Dollar sanctions would be meaningless, as the Russians and Chinese deal in their own exchange mediums separate from the dollar. Denial of seaports or shipping lanes is also not much of a deterrent, as the support could be delivered by surface transport or air, as China has a contiguous border with Russia some 2,500 miles long.

The Biden regime is powerless here.

CNN told us to vote for Newsom. He’s so pretty!

(I know someone with this line of feeling, I would love to say it’s sarcasm but it isn’t)
