U.S. diplomat says Ukrainian strikes on military targets in Crimea are legitimate
Reuters ^ | February 17, 2023 | Guy Faulconbridge, Editing by Mark Heinrich

"No matter what the Ukrainians decide about Crimea in terms of where they choose to fight etcetera, Ukraine is not going to be safe unless Crimea is at a minimum, at a minimum, demilitarised," Nuland told the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington. Asked about the dangers of escalation in the Ukraine war, Nuland said Russia had a host of military installations crucial for the conflict. "Those are legitimate targets, Ukraine is hitting them and we are supporting that," Nuland said.

Well, looking at what Pooter has done to Ukrainian cities, I would think that any Russian city is a legitimate target for the Ukes. I would have been sending cells to Moscow a long time ago.

Nuland is a warmonger and Satanist. She spends her time fomenting war all over the world for the globalists.

Shame on people here for propping up the same slime who are destroying America.

Well, it’s a war. Russia started it.

So, yes Crimea is a legit target. The basing areas in Russia is a legit target...and of course Moscow is a legit target.

It’s called war.

She has been behind most of the trouble in Ukraine since before 2014. She travels the world igniting color revolutions to install commies and reel countries in for the NWO.

She is cold and evil.

Nuland played a major role in the 2014 coup of the duly elected Ukrainian government that spawned the separatist movement in the Donbas and precipitated the first Russian invasion, which annexed Crimea. The war has been going on for close to 9 years now.

Nuland has made Ukraine a personal obsession. Putin humiliated her in 2014. This war is personal. She will fight to the last Ukrainian to reclaim the lost territory and effect regime change in Russia. Nuland is leading us into a direct confrontation with Russia.

Russia will never relinquish control of Crimea, which is now as much a part of Russia as is Moscow. It doesn’t matter if Putin is in power or not. His successor will hold the same position.

Define victory for Ukraine. Russia shares a 1,500 mile border with Ukraine. It isn’t going anywhere. Expanding the war into Russia would be a disaster for Ukraine, which lacks the logistics to project power in an all-out war. Ukraine is vastly outgunned and outnumbered.

Begining in 2014, more than 4000 innocent Russian speakers in the Donbass were the victim of a genocide led by Victoria Nuland and a Neocon color revolution. And here you are promoting Demented Joe's continuation of these war crimes. Shame on you.

“Well, it’s a war. Russia started it.”

Life is so easy for people with the mind of a 5 year old.

Why are you DEFENDING her? She didn’t ‘help orchestrate’ this shitshow, she CREATED IT. It all has to do with her desire to avenge the way the Soviets treated her grandfather in Ukraine...that’s why World War 3 is needed now.
