The White House has told Americans they must continue to endure crippling high gas prices in order to preserve the “liberal world order” and support Ukraine. The comments were made by Biden advisor Brian Deese during a CNN interview when he was asked about the cost of living crisis affecting millions of families.
The explicit admission that economic hardship at home is a deliberate price of foreign policy objectives represents a stunning disregard for American citizens struggling to afford basic necessities. Gas prices have reached historic highs in many states, with cascading effects on transportation, food delivery, and heating costs.
“What you heard from the president today was a clear articulation of the stakes,” Deese stated, effectively acknowledging that American economic suffering is considered acceptable collateral damage in pursuit of geopolitical goals.
The framing of domestic economic pain as a necessary sacrifice for an abstract “world order” echoes language used by globalist institutions including the World Economic Forum and the Council on Foreign Relations. Critics argue this represents a subordination of American interests to internationalist agendas that benefit corporate and banking elites rather than ordinary citizens.
