Victoria Nuland, the third-highest ranking U.S. diplomat and frequent target of criticism for her hawkish views on Russia and its actions in Ukraine, will retire and leave her post this month, the State Department said Tuesday.
This likely signals a major policy shift.
Nuland has run point on our Russia-Europe policy ever since we helped engineer the Maidan coup d’etat.
The results, after 10 years are in:
-Ukraine is destroyed, and has permanently lost Crimea and its main industrial region
-Europe is deindustrializing
-Russia is permanently alienated, and tighter than ever with China, India, and Iran
-much of the world refused to isolate Russia, and suffered no consequences
-institutions central to U.S. dollar hegemony no longer viewed as neutral
-NordStream broke the seal on sabotaging international infrastructure
-Russian military capabilities significantly increased, not decreased
-countries like Iran, North Korea, etc have seen that, short of total war, NATO conventional capabilities are quite limited
Still, Nuland is one of those undead creatures in Washington, who has only ever failed upward, so her resignation probably indicates her usefulness has finally run out.
She has to be held accountable. You can't just cause the deaths of millions of people and then resign & live happily ever after. A soon as she gets out of office, she should be bombarded with court cases after court cases untill she's finally in prison.

For what? You want statecraft to be illegal? That's not how it has ever worked nor can it.
Lawyers can make up anything if they want to put you in prison. How do you think Julian Assange is in Prison?
@TranquilPlatypusLibertarian3mos3MO
Julian Assange isn't a well connected government insider and he exposed dirty laundry of well connected government insiders, that's why they put him in prison. The Justice system is the easiest thing to manipulate because its not affected by public opinion all that much.

Neocons see America as a host to be sucked dry and discarded. As long as Israel’s diaspora interests are advanced, nothing else matters.
@DunbirdMariaWorking Family3mos3MO
LOL no this will never happen, she will probably land a gig in the private sector and make millions of dollars. There will be no consequences what so ever. Just being realistic.
@DoveWillLibertarian3mos3MO
The rat is leaving the sinking ship.
Victoria Nuland’s Ukraine project has utterly failed and the shadow President of Ukraine resigns from the US Govt in disgrace. She will be remembered as the coup manager, proxy war aficionado, NordStream plotter and “ **** the EU” lunatic who has killed hundreds of thousands and wrecked Ukraine.
This is a clear sign that the US proxy war in Ukraine is coming to an end. Russia has won. The West has lost. Europe has wrecked its economic engine with self-harming sanctions. NATO will be busy selling US arms to scared EU nations who will forever fear Russias revenge and leaders across the West will be kicked out of power at the next election. Relations between the EU and the US will sour substantially.

Victoria Nuland will land at a cushy job at the Atlantic Council, an anti-American organization funded by foreign oligarchs. She’ll do the speaking gigs. 25K a pop. Nothing will fill up her miserable soul, and she knows final judgment awaits.
@ThrusheDougGreen3mos3MO
One of the single most psychotic and bloodthirsty warmongers to serve in the US Government in decades:
Far beyond serving as **** Cheney's top advisor for the Iraq War, and overseeing NATO expansion for Bush - including Ukraine - she then ran Ukraine for both Obama and Biden.
I have no doubt Nuland's replacement will be similar. But good riddance.
She also served under Bill Clinton. Her husband is Bill Kristol's main warmongering partner and part of the largest neocon family, Robert Kagan.
The only time she was out of power was under Trump.

If you’re wondering about the endgame for Ukraine, here’s a clue:
"Nuland will be replaced temporarily as under secretary by another career diplomat, John Bass, a former ambassador to Afghanistan who oversaw the U.S. withdrawal from the country. He is currently the undersecretary of state for management."
