WASHINGTON (AP) — Victoria Nuland, the third-highest ranking U.S. diplomat and frequent target of criticism for her hawkish views on Russia and its actions in Ukraine, will leave her post this month, the State Department said Tuesday.

Nuland, a career foreign service officer who served as Assistant Secretary of State for Europe during the Obama administration but retired after Donald Trump was elected president, returned to government as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs in the Biden administration.

She had been a candidate to succeed Wendy Sherman as deputy Secretary of State and had served as acting deputy since Sherman’s retirement seven months ago but lost an internal administration personnel battle when President Joe Biden nominated Kurt Campbell to the no. 2 spot. Campbell took office last month.

Probably leaving because she knows Ukraine has lost the war.

This monster has caused more trouble and death than most people know. She can take creepy Samantha Power, her protege, with her.

She , like Obama really are not leaving. They still operate from the dark, back alleys.

Could this presage a change in our Ukrainian policy? Ukraine can’t win. Biden’s handlers would like to resolve the Ukraine war before the election. It is an albatross around Biden’s neck.
