all nutjobs are starting to shut their dirty mouths.

Do you feel you are being ghosted??? You have a very elevated self-opinion.

Many that support Ukraine are busy working against the mad-man Putin.

You have freedom of expression. You can support whom or what ever you please

I’m sure Victoria Nuland pumping 6 billion into Ukraine had nothing to do with it.

In 2016, Victoria Nuland encouraged Ukraine to start prosecuting corrupt officials: “It’s time to start locking up people who have ripped off the Ukrainian population for too long and it is time to eradicate the cancer of corruption”.
GREAT!

She also encouraged European allies to take a harder line on Russian expansionism while serving as the Department of State’s diplomat on the Ukraine crisis.
VERY APPROPRIATE

Numan is quotes as saying in 2016, during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearing that it was importand for U.S. diplomatic outreach to the former Soviet Union and efforts to build a constructive relationship with Russia. Especially because Russia’s 2014 invasion of Ukraine: “shattered any remaining illusions about this Kremlin’s willingness to abide by international law or live by the rules of the institutions that Russia joined at the end of the Cold War.”
ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT & ESSENTIAL

Nulan stated importance of four essential aspects of the U.S. foreign policy towards Russia:

1- Stop further aggression through showing strength and unity of allies.
2- Build strength & reduce vulnerability Allies facing Russian pressure and coercion.
3- Support core national security priorities when U.S. interests and Russia and U.S. are in agreement.
4- Maintain ties to the Russian people and business community for potential toward a more constructive future relationship.
WISE SUMMATION OF IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES OR US.S FOREIGN POLICY WITH R.F.

On January 24, 2018, Nuland was concerned voiced a concern regarding American isolationism: “When we withdraw and say it’s every nation for itself, you open the door for countries dissatisfied with their territorial position and influence in the international system — or with the system itself.”

Instead, a whole-government response was invaluable to international issues: “Military leaders would be the first to say military solutions alone result in more and longer military entanglements. The role of American diplomats and political leaders is to work concurrently with the military to bring to bear all of the political tools we have.”
CORRECT ASSESSMENT

Nuland supported President Trump when he began new high-level engagements with Russian government officials in 2018. President Trump scheduled a meeting with Russia’s top general Valery Gerasimov and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Curtis Scaparrotti. Nuland said: “These channels are especially vital at a time when relations at the leader level are so unpredictable.”

Nuland believed was Scaparrotti was “uniquely positioned” to address concerns about Russia’s “ongoing military role in Ukraine, and R.F.’s INF treaty violations, actively acting to undermine Transatlantic democracies and the strategic tensions for US and its allies to take stronger deterrent measures.”
I BELIEVE THE THINKING OF NULAND WERE AND ARE ON POINT.
