DING DONG: Victoria Nuland Steps Down After Gateway Pundit FOIA Request
Gateway Pundit ^ | Mar. 5, 2024 | By Richard Abelson

Posted on 03/05/2024 9:33:51 AM PST by Kazan

Victoria Nuland, the architect of the disastrous US Ukraine policy since 2014, will be resigning “in the coming weeks” after Gateway Pundit filed a FOIA request to find out what her role was in the death of US journalist Gonzalo Lira in Ukraine, an outspoken Nuland critic who was subsequently arrested and tortured in Ukraine.

“Victoria Nuland has let me know that she intends to step down in the coming weeks as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs – a role in which she has personified President Biden’s commitment to put diplomacy back at the center of our foreign policy and revitalize America’s global leadership at a crucial time for our nation and the world,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said today.

No reason for the decision was given, but it came on the heels of massive Ukrainian casualties in this summer’s failed “Crimea Offensive” with a death toll that Russia estimates at 444,000 Ukrainians, and Gateway Pundit’s FOIA request to find out what Victoria Nuland’s role was in the death of US journalist Gonzalo Lira in the Ukraine, who died Jan. 11. in Kharkiv prison.

Gonzalo Lira had charged that Victoria Nuland “hates my guts” and was responsible for his arrest, and made a video in 2022 outlining Victoria Nuland’s role in Ukraine.

As Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs under the Obama Regime, Nuland was instrumental in plotting the violent overthrow of the Ukrainian government 2014 together with Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan and Joe Biden.

She was notoriously intercepted on a phone call with then-Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, discussing who the next ruler of the country should be after the $ 5 billion US-led coup.

On March 15, 2016, she was the first to demand that Ukraine fire Attorney General Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Hunter Biden’s corrupt company Burisma.

Joe Biden then used $1 billion in US loan guarantees to force President Viktor Poroshenko to fire Shokin.

Nuland was also at the heart of the “Russiagate” conspiracy to stop President Donald Trump when she passed on the so-called “Steele Dossier” by former MI-6 Spy Christopher Steele to the FBI.

Nuland had met Steele during the Maidan coup in Ukraine in 2014.

“[Steele] passed two to four pages of short points of what he was finding, and our immediate reaction to that was, ‘This is not in our purview,'” Nuland told CBS 2018. “‘This needs to go to the FBI, if there is any concern here that one candidate or the election as a whole might be influenced by the Russian federation. That’s something for the FBI to investigate.'”

Naturally, Gateway Pundit will still pursue our FOIA request to hold Nuland accountable for her role in the death of journalist Gonzalo Lira.

Probably not in a courtroom.

The clearest sign yet that the MIC has lost the Ukraine war. I don’t even think they ever planned to win it. The whole point of the MIC isn’t to win, it’s to make fat stacks of cash in replacing broken war munitions. Why else would we be in continuous war for 33 years with nothing to show for it but $ trillions in debt?

What he was “finding”. Lying a-holes. What he was finding that he just typed is more like it.

Blinken needs to go too. He’s a seditionist.

The US is being approached by Russia requiring she be turned over. She will have an accident very soon.

Not being stochastic or anything. But if someone as evil as her, who has put so much suffering into the world gets killed pumping gas into her car… right off the bat I would think it was her getting whacked rather than random street crime.

It’s a credit to Trump’s morality that he hasn’t had her rubbed out. He could afford to hire spies, to hire Delta retirees, to hire a guy, who pretends it’s divorce revenge, who hires gang members who would not have a clue who hired them… and then they get whacked after the job.

Ergo.. President Trump is a good and decent man.

Huh? Trump negotiated peace deals between Israel and several of its Arab neighbors. With Biden, we have war in the Middle East. Under Trump, Putin stayed out of the Ukraine. Under Biden, he started a war.

IIRC, she was also part of broad unmasking of the communications of U.S. citizens, the detailed and extensive tracking of various US news sources, and telling the Ukrainian government to just ignore Trump while he was President.

Of course they didn’t. Biden has been supplying weapons at least 6 months or so after they were needed, and in a way which guarantees a grinding stalemate rather than even potentially gains a victory.

"What is a zeeper?"

My definition: An individual or organization, sponsored/unsponsored, who posts on Free Republic primarily on most topics regarding Ukraine, with support for one side of the conflict. The "Z" stands for the almost slavish devotion to Zelensky. Anything that that calls into question US involvement, or some of the more unsavory aspects of Ukraine is labeled as "Russian propagand" by the same.

Expanded definition: They consist mainly of two groups--weird foreigners (FR is a US based site) and people still mired in the pre 1991 Cold War.
There is a core contingent that has demonstrated no respect for the conduct/rules of this site, are generally liars, and some who claim to be in a foreign location probably Ukraine diaspora types with no allegience to their host country.
Some claiming to be in the United States are similar, seeming to show no interest in the concerns that are damaging the Unite States.

I could go on, but leave it with: "you'll know them when you see them"
