The State Department announced in a March 5 statement that Nuland will step down from her position in the coming weeks. Secretary of State Antony Blinken described her leadership on Ukraine as "one that diplomats and students of foreign policy will study for years to come" in the statement. He also lauded the outgoing official for her "indispensable" efforts to confront Russian President Vladimir Putin's special military operation in Ukraine by "marshaling a global coalition to ensure his strategic failure."
Prior to her current post, Nuland had served as the department's spokeswoman and top diplomat for Europe. During the second Bush administration, she served as the U.S. ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. John Bass, under secretary of state for management, will take over Nuland's position on an acting basis.

Dr. Matthew Crosston, a professor of national security at Bowie State University (BSU), put in his two cents on the resignation of the "staunch anti-Putinist Nuland." He pointed to the diplomat's fervent desire "to continue to utilize Ukraine as a platform in which to continue to weaken and/or slight Russia on the global stage." Moreover, Crosston mentioned that Nuland even wanted to "up the ante … with her support of sending ballistic missiles into Ukraine."
According to the professor, it was likely Nuland had become frustrated with the loss of support for her pet project Ukraine in Congress. Lawmakers in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives have blocked the White House's request for more than $60 billion in additional military aid to Kyiv.
"She undoubtedly understood that if American support lessens or wanes, Ukraine loses – period," Crosston, who also serves as BSU's director of academic transformation, told Sputnik. "Perhaps she did not want to be in the administration that would be responsible for that outcome."
Nuland's replacement also a bumbling diplomat
According to Central Intelligence Agency veteran Larry Johnson, Nuland's decision to step down was a surprise. Crosston commented about this development, saying that her resignation means Kyiv has definitely lost a very influential supporter in Washington. He added: "It creates some new speculation beyond the standard 'send more weapons to Ukraine' mantra that has existed so intensely."
Crosston clarified, however, that he didn't think Bass' appointment automatically means the U.S. is going to throw Ukraine down the drain. "One thing is certain: As long as Nuland remained in that chair, there was literally no chance such talk could even be theorized. Now it can," the BSU professor continued.
"Everyone seems to be emphasizing his 'acting' role, which in America always implies a temporary status where he will eventually be replaced by someone else more permanently. So I am not entirely sure that Bass is going to be the holder of any great responsibility in terms of formulating new policy in the role."
Nuland's replacement appears to be little-known internationally, according to Sputnik. The American career diplomat served as U.S. ambassador to the Caucasus-region country of Georgia and in Turkey. Bass came under heavy criticism in both countries for meddling in the affairs of both Ankara and Tbilisi.
"Bass was also a hot-swap replacement for [the] then-acting [U.S.] ambassador [to] Afghanistan during Team Biden's botched withdrawal from the region in August 2021," the news outlet continued. "Now, he is expected to oversee the Ukraine crisis. In light [of] his role in the chaotic and bloody evacuation of Kabul, Bass' new assignment is a hint that the U.S. [is] about to abandon Ukraine as well."

Pride goeth before a fall for that ukie chick drunk with power as well. She used to look hot but then she got high. Plus, too many Ukrainian Snickers (pork belly covered with thick, thick layer of chocolate).

Name Victoria sounds suspiciously Ukrainian (aka as Ukrainian as national pork fat). Sure enough, her daddy was born to Ukrainian immigrants. So it was a personal vendetta from a know-it-all porky chick with Ukrainian roots. Jolly good show (fortunately put on the brakes).

That's all folks for ukie looney piggies, a wrapup. Time to reunite Kiev and Moscow back to historical equilibrium so to speak. Cleaning Gorby's manure was hard.

Another one bites the dust. Nobody outsmarts spymaster black belt Putin, they all end up RIP. Wheeler dealer Nuland is no exception, had her prime though. Knocked out with one punch in due time like everybody else. Next! (To fool with Russia, rule by secrecy,, ha-ha-ha, not enough brain power). American sedated population is getting prepped for US troops (get real) to leave Ukraine frantic Afghanistan style anyway, redeployed to Middle East. Ukraine's hot iron is getting cold.

Everything about Nuland spells bad except' her resignation. Zelenskyy made a statement recently. Tje way I decrypted it, was soft toned info that said, it's over, will come to a close this year and meetings are scheduled to script a narrative.
What Putin is saying is the creation of a new country called New Russia that will include Donbass, Melitrpol, Kerson, Zaporizhzha maybe Odesa and Bessarabia region, but i don't know of these two.

Down the drain happened a long time ago. There is an outfit in Kiev pays women 20k to make a baby. They are housed in a dorm to make sure the mother eats properly. The infant is taken at birth and they keep no records. I know of at least one human trafficing operation and can walk you right past them.
Ukraine is the number one marketplace to buy a child or a sex worker....usually both. Prostitutes in West euro are mostly Ukrainian and so is household comfort staff in the Middle East.
Rich soils, a treasure in minerals and the average villager pension os 135 USD.
It wasn't Russia that created this nor the 20 biological weapons factories. The Biden family had intimate buisness affairs with Ukraine. May their god rest their souls in hell for all eternity. HA ha, just kidding.
