Russian Senator: The disintegration of US hegemony is not limited to the defeat of Afghanistan.
According to Interfax, Alexei Pushkov, a senior member of the Information Policy Committee of the Russian Federation (Senate) Council, believes that the US economy is nothing more than a “financial bubble” and that the collapse of US hegemony in the defeat of the US in Afghanistan It will not be summarized, and this situation also applies to the US national debt.
“The need to be independent of American securities has long been discussed,” the Russian senator wrote on his Telegram channel. At the same time, I should mention here that Russia has already done this with full caution. Virtually all of the US economy improves in exchange for selling large quantities of these securities and thus creating debt for the country. “The reality is that the United States has turned it into a ‘financial bubble’.”
“The crisis of 2009-2008 in the United States, which dealt a second major blow to the hegemony of the United States, arose after the political defeat of the United States in Iraq,” Alexei Pushkov said. “Afghanistan will have significant consequences for them.”
Earlier in August, the US Treasury Department announced that the US national debt ceiling had reached $ 22 trillion, a ceiling set by Congress, and called on the US legislature to raise the ceiling. Raise it again.
The Treasury Department also warned that otherwise the United States would suffer from a budget shortfall and irreparable damage to its economy. In this regard, the ministry stopped issuing some securities and started using special tax tools.
US President Joe Biden later expressed confidence that members of Congress would raise the government debt ceiling and that the country could avoid budget shortfalls.
