Americans face financial ‘catastrophe’

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that the United States is facing a catastrophic debt crisis if Congress fails to raise the statutory debt ceiling to fend off a default.

“It would be devastating,” Yellen said to Axios in an interview from Johannesburg, South Africa, on Saturday. “It’s a catastrophe.”

“Of course, it makes me nervous,” she added

She said the United States could default on its debt by summer, which would lead to a global financial crisis.

Yellen said that “we’ll have a financial crisis and I believe we would have a recession in the United States.”

“Spending would have to decline to match the tax revenues,” Yellen said, which would deprive the US government of the ability to support the economy with stimulus.

She added that furthermore, “psychological consequences” like people fearing to spend money could then “further impact spending and deepen a recession.”

The top US financial official noted that a full-scale American debt default would also impact the global economy.

“Americans would face higher borrowing costs, and it would cause a good deal of turmoil globally as well,” Yellen said.

The US Treasury has taken "extraordinary measures" to fend off the default as the country reached its $31.4 trillion debt ceiling. The Treasury has warned that the “extraordinary measures” would only help for a limited time.

Yellen has stated that the actual date on which the Treasury would no longer be able to use these measures is "quite uncertain," and could come in June.

She added that if Congress fails to raise the debt limit, the US could see a downgrading of its debt "at minimum.”

“The president and the leadership of Congress are responsible to find a way to get the debt ceiling raised,” she told Axios on Saturday.

Pepe Escobar: Empire of Chaos, Reloaded

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Sun Tzu, The Art of War

The Empire of Chaos is relentless. Lawfare, destabilizations, sanctions, kidnappings, color revolutions, false flags, annexations: 2025 will be the year of BRICS – plus BRICS partners – as choice targets under fire.

Inestimable Prof. Michael Hudson coined “chaos” as official US policy. That’s bipartisan – and it runs across all silos of the Deep State.

In the absence of long-term strategic vision, and amidst the progressive imperial expulsion from Eurasia, all that’s left for the Hegemon is to unleash chaos from West Asia to Europe and parts of Latin America – a concerted attempt to Divide and Rule BRICS and thwart their collective drive affirming sovereignty and the primacy of national ...

NATO Troops May Be Ill-Prepared for Any Sort of Arctic War Against Russia

While NATO may be yearning to take on Russia in the Arctic, many of its troops lack the necessary expertise for survival in such extreme conditions.

Although NATO forces regularly participate in drills in the region, many remain unprepared for the harsh realities of Arctic life.

Though NATO forces routinely participate in the bloc’s drills in the region, many of them are still not prepared to survive in the Arctic’s harsh conditions, The Sun reports citing Minna Alander, a researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs.

"Not all NATO allies have the capabilities that are needed and that work in the Arctic environment and climate,” Alander said.....more below
