Nuland’s ‘Yats is the guy’ makes Nuland ‘Not the girl’

President Biden should withdraw his nomination of career diplomat Victoria Nuland to the third highest State Department office. It’s more appropriate to call her a career warmonger.

She spent much of the 1990’s in the State Department helping the U.S. interfere with Russian politics and foreign policy. This includes engineering the election of the disastrous Boris Yeltsin as president and promoting encroachment of NATO up to Russia’s borders.

New century, new targets for Nuland. From 2000 to 2009 she promoted regime change in Afghanistan and Iraq via senseless war as policy advisor to Dick Cheney and NATO ambassador. Hundreds of thousands dead in wars not needed made no dent on Nuland’s conscience.

In 2011 she advised Secretary of State Hillary to promote murderous regime change in Syria and Libya adding more hundreds of thousands to her kill list.

Undaunted, in 2013 and 2014 she served as Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. Along with war hawk buddy, Senator John McCain, she promoted regime change against duly elected Ukraine president Victor Yanukovych, causing him to flee for his life. Thousands more Ukrainians from Nuland’s machinations weren’t so lucky.

But her 25 years under the radar of U.S. warmongering was outed during a leaked recorded call to the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. She told him ‘Fuck the EU’ and ‘Yat’s is the guy’, referring to her efforts to install pro West pol Anseny Yatsenyuk to replace Yanukovych. And she succeeded.

But a quarter century promoting regime change and senseless war is a quarter century too much. If Biden doesn’t retire her, his Democratic Senate should vote her down.
