The US government’s top official in Europe risked triggering a diplomatic crisis after she was caught on tape saying ‘F*** the EU’.
Victoria Nuland, the assistant secretary of state for European Affairs, made the comment while discussing how to resolve the crisis in Ukraine which is gripped by fierce protests.
But her private telephone conversation with Geoffrey Pyatt, the US ambassador to the country, appears to have been intercepted and uploaded onto Youtube by an anonymous user.
In it, she tells her colleague about discussions with other top American officials about how to end the deadlock, and how she wants to appoint a United Nations representative to broker a deal between the government and opposition.
She says of her proposed deal: ‘That would be great to help glue this thing and to have the UN help glue it. And you know, f*** the EU.’

Good gravy. This bunch makes the Clinton clowns look semi-competent.
“Madam Secretary, you need to turn the little key thingy on the side of the phone. That turns on the encryption device.”
Loved the way she blamed others for HER mouth. A true Obama-bot.
I read in the comments of a related article on RT.com that the US is paying Ukrainian protestors $40 a day. They had video of her handing out snacks to them during a confrontation with riot police.
You should read the comments. I thought the world would love us because of Obama. The opposite is true.
Well, obviously she didn’t says what she would have said on a secured line, e.g. “F*** the f***ing EU motherf*****s”
Can you imagine if this had happened with Bush in the White House.
Talking the Democrat language.
Yep, but not much at all in our so-called news media.
How can this be? I thought only the NSA spied on people. Are we now to believe the Russians do it too? Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so :-)
Is this so-called diplomat another one of 0bama’s thug bundlers?
From wikipedia:
Nuland is a career Senior Officer of the United States Foreign Service and has worked for both Democratic and Republican administrations. During the Bill Clinton administration, Nuland was chief of staff to Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott before moving on to serve as deputy director for former Soviet Union affairs. During the George W. Bush administration, she served as the principal deputy foreign policy adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney and then as U.S. ambassador to NATO. During the Barack Obama administration, she was special envoy for Conventional Armed Forces in Europe before assuming the position of State Department spokesperson in summer 2011, which she held until February 2013.
Strangely the MSM hasn’t been saying much about the events in Bosnia
I must say that I have begun to miss the relative competence of the Carter administration.
