Good riddance to Victoria Nuland, who was more obnoxious than most of her neocon cohorts. From Richard Abelson at thegatewaypundit.co:
Victoria Nuland, the architect of the disastrous US Ukraine policy since 2014, will be resigning “in the coming weeks” after Gateway Pundit filed a FOIA request to find out what her role was in the death of US journalist Gonzalo Lira in Ukraine, an outspoken Nuland critic who was subsequently arrested and tortured in Ukraine.
“Victoria Nuland has let me know that she intends to step down in the coming weeks as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs – a role in which she has personified President Biden’s commitment to put diplomacy back at the center of our foreign policy and revitalize America’s global leadership at a crucial time for our nation and the world,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said today.
No reason for the decision was given, but it came on the heels of massive Ukrainian casualties in this summer’s failed “Crimea Offensive” with a casualty toll that Russia estimates at 444,000 Ukrainians, and Gateway Pundit’s FOIA request to find out what Victoria Nuland’s role was in the death of US journalist Gonzalo Lira in the Ukraine, who died Jan. 11. in Kharkiv prison.
Gonzalo Lira had charged that Victoria Nuland “hates my guts” and was responsible for his arrest, and made a video in 2022 outlining Victoria Nuland’s role in Ukraine:
I love Russia and you should do what you like as a free and sovereign being.
What a major service to humanity from GP, huge tip of the hat and three cheers!
One of the best headlines of the early months of a young year.
