Janet Yellen Claims U.S. Taxpayers Have ‘Duty’ to Defend Ukraine’s Border from Invasion
Breitbart ^ | 02/27/2023 | Wendell Husebo

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday claimed American taxpayers have a “moral duty” to defend Ukraine’s eastern border from invasion by giving aid to the nation.

In a New York Times op-ed published while the secretary visited the nation, Yellen said the American support “is motivated, first and foremost, by a moral duty to come to the aid of a people under attack.”

American lawmakers have so far earmarked more than $110 billion of taxpayer funds to defend the border against a Russian invasion.

Pick up a rifle, Janet. Also, use one that you bought with your own money.

“Yellen never once used the word “border” or mentioned Ukraine’s border.”

Duh! The money we are sending to Ukraine is so they can defend their country (borders) from Russia. By the way, when does the Treasury Secretary make foreign policy?

It’s like most diplomatic stuff. It’s broad.

Russia, US and UK are supposed to do something about Ukraine if they are threatened by nuclear attack. Supposed to start in UN Security Council.

It is Europe’s duty and responsibility to defend Ukraine. They won’t simply because they know the US will. If we wouldn’t, they would!!

One might think the Biden gang blew up the Nordstream pipeline so that Europe couldn't afford to support Ukraine. If they did The Big Guy and our corrupt government wouldn't have the current Ukraine scam to make them richer.

“American taxpayers have a ‘moral duty’ to defend Ukraine’s eastern border “

It should be a crime for those people to let the word, “moral”, come out of their mouths.

(The globalists are mocking us.)

Yes they are.

They intend to have their godless New World Order.

Daniel 7:23 says they’ll get it but IMHO it will come into existence under Satan’s anti-messiah.

What about the invasion on our southern border? You stupid BEEP

They're blatant now. Just more proof that a coup took place in 2020, not an election.

Coup installed CCP puppet, (along with other hostile entities), government dictating to the people what they WILL be paying for. 😡

You have a duty to just submit. Let them move into your ranch house, kill and eat your cattle, dogs, cats, horses, rape your wife and kids. They’re hungry, you racist./sarc
