It may be that Nuland hates America more than she hates Russia. After all, she has done more damage to America and our allies, both economically and socially, than she has done to Russia. The blood of millions is on her hands.

Yet, 5 Presidents let her get away with her murderous behavior.

A good recap of her exploits but not a word to support the headline claim that she was pushed out. By whom and how?

My question is… Has anyone in her nuclear family fought in war? Her sons? Nephews? Friends?

Please don’t quote Noam Chomsky as a valid example/opinion on anything. He wanted to roundup and starve unvaccinated people.

Putin's "invasion" of Ukraine was not "villainous." Putin was trying to save his country and has succeeded.

"Of course, Putin’s invasion was villainous" - Nonsense. US arming and funding neo-Nazis in Ukraine [who had killed tens of thousands of their OWN Russian speaking citizens since the '14 coup] - and then pushing for further NATO expansion up to Russia's border - THAT was villainous, murderously villainous.

And no were in the article was any mention made of the Biolabs that the DOD built and had staffed in the Ukraine. What did they do, who paid for it, and you know Nuland knew what was going on and approved it and most likely got the money for it. Just add those labs to her resume.......

Jack Posobiec. “She’s not fleeing the grift. She’s just fleeing Biden’s sinking ship”….and as always, with her own safety and pockets first and foremost

Really liked the article Mr. Fleetwood, but I do have two questions if you read these comments. Using your provided links to research further I found that the linked Politico article was from 2018, not recent, and did not address in any manner US defense contractors. Did you mean to link a different Political article? I do wish that she was "pushed out," but see no evidence of that in your article nor in reality. The same neocon mindset prevails in Biden's Admin & Blinken's SoS, so I don't see why they would push someone like her out. Can you elaborate on why this is the title of your well written piece please. Overall this was a great condensation of the escapades that I know to be "Nuland the Swamp Monster." Thank you

Good overview article, Blake. The entire US public should be aware of this history.

However, you say, "Of course, Putin’s invasion was villainous.". There's no need to pander to the ruling class or the tiny pro Ukraine crowd in the US. They are an insignificant number.

The entire history you cite in the article is proof positive that Putin was given no other option by our masters. He waited a very long time to make the decision to intervene and worked to avoid it by repeatedly trying to make a deal with our masters. In the end, had he not intervened when he did, he would have endangered his entire country.

If you don't believe me then just imagine the US was put in the same position by a belligerent great power with foreign troops massing on the Mexican border and systematically killing off the innocent inhabitants of the buffer region.

As much as I like this piece and approve of its sentiments, it includes a widespread and enduring misconception about Nuland and the 2014 coup against the elected government.

Nuland and U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt were not recorded planning Yanukovych's replacement as president. They were recorded plotting Nikolai Azarov's replacement as prime minister, since at that point Yanukovych had asked his government to resign to make way for the pro-Western opposition to take over the cabinet, including the premiership. The preferred choice of Nuland was "Yats" (Arsenal Yatsenyuk), who did actually end up becoming (a very unpopular) prime minister after Yanukovych was overthrown, when Ukraine had no president until Petro Poroshenko was elected several months later. Nuland and Pyatt never mentioned "Yanko" during the conversation recorded by the Russian intelligence services. It was all about "Yats" and other members of the parliamentary opposition and what they would be doing.

The reason I point out this small detail is that Nuland, however odious a figure, was probably forced out as a scapegoat for the CIA's failed and reckless escapades, over which she had no control. She is actually a "fall guy" for the disaster wrought on Ukraine through the establishment of CIA bases near the Russian border (along with, if Putin is to be believed, U.S. bio-labs). It couldn't have happened to a nicer person, but Nuland is really just the public face for a much deeper and more sinister policy of war, intervention and biosecurity.

With the benefit of hindsight, Putin's two-stage intervention makes plenty of sense, though it was hard to see at first. In February 2014, Putin watched a democratically elected Ukrainian president overthrown, and he watched the West legitimate the ouster even though the Ukrainian parliament never gained enough votes to make the coup legal under the Ukrainian constitution. To this day, that's what qualifies Yanukovych's ouster unambiguously as a "coup" in legal terms. It was never ratified by the country's national legislature.

In February 2022, Putin declared to the world that his "special military operation" was aimed at the "denazification" of Ukraine. But if in fact it was launched because he had discovered the CIA bases, it would make sense for him to use the "denazification" excuse. He is a former agent of the Soviet security services, after all, and he is unlikely to let the rest of the world know how much he knows. So in the eight years between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine wasn't just building a real army (which it had never had in its entire history). It was hosting a much more extensive U.S./NATO/CIA presence, some of it reaching far into the east of the country and close to the borders of Russia proper. That's Nuland's legacy in Ukraine.

like the Terminator, she'll 'be back'. likely behind the scenes, where she'll be even less accountable. what scum.

agree with other commenters that its unclear that she was pushed; more likely just jumping ship, to wash ashore somewhere out of the limelight.

Goliath treats both parties equally in its use of the captured and tethered techno bureaucrats it controls. There’s more where she came from.

Great article. Nuland is a Zionist Neocon Hag! Supported by her Zionist Neocon husband Kagan. How has this policy worked out for America and the millions of slaughtered people?
