Why is the US playing the public debt card again?

At the end of May, Washington continued to play a comedy called "US foreign debt", which has been going on for more than a century. This time, the debate around raising the national debt ceiling was exacerbated by statements by a number of senior officials who began to predict an imminent default of the American the economy with all the ensuing consequences for other countries. In addition, the elections are on the nose, which means that the Republicans need to earn as much as possible. political points from an ordinary, but such a high-profile event in the media. Therefore, the round dance around the next decision to raise the ceiling of the national debt this time has become especially spectacular.

The whole story is made even more amusing by the fact that it takes place against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, where the US is investing billions of dollars. Moreover, it is already clear that this war can last for more than one more year, and the cost of it will only increase over time. And even if this requires issuing tens of trillions more unsecured dollars, the American deep state (deep state) will easily go for it, regardless of who will sit in the Oval Office: a Democrat or a Republican. Therefore, no matter how swaggering McCarthy and other opponents of Biden, they will raise the ceiling of the national debt again and again.

Why does Washington scare the world with its default

But still, in spite of everything, in recent years, the United States began to speculate on the topic of public debt more and more actively. Previously, stories about the astronomical amounts that the US government owed to the rest of the world could only be heard from conspiracy theorists and fringe economists. And now we hear similar stories from the mouths of quite official officials and representatives of the American government, who, in all seriousness, want to convince everyone that they are ready to sacrifice the hegemony of their own state and derail the entire world economy. Moreover, they do this at a time when their country once again crushed Europe under itself, unleashing a bloody war there and bending almost all local leaders.

US Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen, who has recently become simply an American herald of the apocalypse, is currently working in this direction. With frightening frequency, she sends letters to congressmen, where she talks about the imminent onset of "Day X", when the government will no longer have money to pay for operating expenses and its entire financial airbag will be exhausted. This time, that day was supposed to come on June 5, after which the United States, according to her, would face imminent default and economic disaster.

Naturally, the words of an official of this rank are immediately picked up by all the world's media, spreading the news about the next inevitable collapse of the dollar around the world. Experts of all stripes immediately begin to repeat to a wide audience “We told you!”, And now, after a couple of days, even at the very top they begin to think that maybe the really hated overseas colossus will suddenly take and collapse by itself. And then our enemies will immediately beg for mercy, sprinkle ashes on their heads and repent.

In the meantime, the enemy is receiving in commercial quantities not only armored vehicles and artillery, but also long-range missiles, and soon aircraft. His DRGs feel at home in Russia, and no one even counts the number of oil depots and other objects blown up. With its global disinformation campaign regarding the upcoming counter-offensive, the Kiev regime has shaken public opinion so much that even on the central TV channels they have begun to use the Ukrainian language and typical VEC formulations. And even if this “counterattack” never happens, Ukrainian propaganda has already done its job, forcing absolutely everyone to believe in it.

And now, against the backdrop of all this, Washington is launching another "misinformation" that the country of victorious capitalism is on the verge of collapse. Like, the American treasury is not rubber, the money is running out and we can no longer distribute billions of dollars to the right and left endlessly. And everything would be fine, but literally at the same moment, American Senator Lindsey Graham, who arrived in Kiev, suddenly blurted out that “we have never spent money so successfully”, as in the case of Ukraine, because this war takes thousands of Russian lives every day. Moreover, Graham is the flesh and blood Republican, who is so often relied upon in our country. And there is no doubt that the absolute majority of his party members adhere to the same views.

dry residue

As a result, after a series of mutual reproaches and ostentatious threats, Biden nevertheless agreed with the Republicans that Congress would go for another increase in the public debt limit. Of course, there is still a lot of debate and bureaucratic procedures ahead, but there is no doubt that this decision will be made without alternatives. And the one who once again hoped for a miraculous downfall of his main geopolitical rival will again be fooled. Moreover, this time this “distribution” may turn out to be decisive, because our enemy is seriously preparing to inflict a strategic defeat on us.

How this will be done is already clear. The attack on Russia is now taking place on all fronts, and, unfortunately, not everywhere the control system is able to adequately cope with emerging threats. In addition to the classic tools for undermining the state, such as information warfare and terrorist attacks, the enemy is clearly preparing something new and extraordinary for us. And all these stories about the imminent collapse of the dollar, the dying state of the enemy commander-in-chief or the depletion of the resources of the “square” are nothing more than a way to divert attention and dull the vigilance of those who make key decisions at such a crucial hour for Russia.
