Victoria Nuland, Biden’s Cold-Blooded Democratic Neocon, Is Out

By Louis Conte, Headlines Editor, The Kennedy Beacon

As evidence of President Joe Biden’s failing strategies for the war in Ukraine, Victoria Nuland, a Democratic neocon and the third highest-ranking US diplomat, has resigned. She has frequently been called the key architect of Biden’s Ukraine war policies.

“Nuland is to Ukraine as Fauci is to Covid,” wrote David Sacks on X, after Nuland’s departure as Under Secretary of State earlier in the week.

Sacks, the uber-successful serial investor, continued: “What was Nuland’s job at the State Department supposed to be? Diplomacy. What did she actually do? Foment conflict with Russia. What was Fauci’s job at NIH? Public health. What did he actually do? Fund dangerous gain-of-function research. These powerful unelected bureaucrats, who run the government across administrations, are literally doing the opposite of what they’re supposed to. They’re not making us safe. They’re causing crisis after crisis. Nothing will change until we get rid of them.”

In a quick tweet on March 5, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrote, “Notorious Neocon Architect of Ukraine War Resigns.”

Kennedy has called the war in Ukraine a proxy war and has been crying for a negotiated end to the bloodshed since the beginning of his campaign for the presidency last April. He has long been critical of Nuland’s role in triggering Russia’s war with Ukraine. 

Nuland has a long relationship with Ukraine. She was criticized for undiplomatic language in a secretly recorded 2014 telephone call during which she revealed that the US was more than interfering in Ukraine’s elections. 

With hardly any criticism from the legacy media, President Biden enlisted Nuland, a known neoconservative or “neocon,” to serve in his administration in 2021.

Nuland, a Democrat, was an influential assistant to Vice President Dick Cheney during the George W. Bush administration, advocating for the Iraq War, which cost US taxpayers more than $728 billion and resulted in an estimated 200,000 civilian deaths, according to NBC. The war in Ukraine, now over two years old, has become a meat grinder with shocking numbers of fatalities, as reported by The Independent. 

Although Nuland’s official role was as a diplomat negotiating for peace, The Hill reports, she spent more time advocating for weapons of war. To date, the Biden administration has given $75 billion to Ukraine in military, financial, and humanitarian aid, according to a report by the Council on Foreign Relations.

Glenn Greenwald recounts the legacy of Nuland’s neoconservative approach to foreign policy, noting that she served “comfortably” under Democrat presidents. 

While Nuland’s departure is welcome news to critics of how neocons have usurped the Democratic Party and turned it into a party of war, it is also important to note that Biden remains committed to his ongoing failing strategies in Ukraine.
