Treasury Secretary Yellen taunts Russia over U.S.-led sanctions: 'They are scavenging'

In an earlier press conference with U.S. and South African reporters at a job training facility in Emalahleni, she was clear that she raised concerns about South Africa potentially evading Russian sanctions in her meetings with South African officials.

“My main message is that we take very seriously these sanctions that we’ve placed on Russia in response to its brutal invasion of Ukraine,” she said.The U.S., China and Russia are competing for influence in Africa, a continent rich in minerals that will help power aYellen’s trip is the first mission from the Biden administration in 2023 to convince Africa that the U.S.

Another trash headline from Axios. Where's the taunt? What I witnessed was Yellen stating simple FACTS: 'They are scavenging decent airplanes for parts because they can't buy parts to repair (them). They have got their two biggest tank factories that can't repair their tanks.”

It would be cool if we had a treasury secretary who focused on money matters, and a transportation secretary who focused on transportation, but we get these clowns instead

I think this is out of Yellen’s swim lane.

MaxBoot So?

The US should buy all the parts the Russians need and melt them down!

WTF Why is she weighing in? What is her lane? Why are we at war with Russia! Why do we ignore Eisenhower speech on the MIC? Must be we did so well in Afghanistan

OH! Is she also an agent of the CIA?

China is covertly supplying Russia with a lot of war material’s

It would be great if the US bought up all the excess Russian equipment around the world, just to prevent Putin from buying it.

Maybe they are. Be a gracious winner.

It's bad

'Taunts?' Just stop.

That's why they're dealing with Afghanistan for all the crap we left there?
