larry johnson speaks about the ukie game in several aspects;

At the conclusion of this post you will find my latest video chat with Nima about the latest developments surrounding the war in Ukraine. Let me point out some of the highlights (or lowlights, depending on your perspective).

Let’s start with Victoria Nuland. Was she pushed out or did she preemptively resign? I believe it is the latter. From her position as the Under Secretary for Political Affairs she could see that the Biden Administration — ignoring for a moment its bellicose rhetoric about needing to defend Ukraine — is shifting military resources to Israel and China. Ukraine is the red haired step-child and is no longer the priority for key logistics.

Rather than hang around and catch the blame for the loss of Ukraine, I think Nuland decided to grab a parachute and jump out of the Biden policy plane before it crashes. Nuland is not stupid. She may be a strident ideologue, but she also can read the tea leaves and realize that Ukraine’s days are numbered. She has been around Washington long enough to know how the blame game works and probably decided to hit the bricks and prepare a defense. She wants to live to fight again. The neo-con crowd that Nuland runs with are a shameless lot. They never admit being wrong and are skilled at producing a counter narrative that will blame Biden and the Republicans, especially Trump, for destroying Ukraine’s chances for victory.

My friends at the Duran offer an alternative explanation — she was pushed out. You can find their discussion here or in the following video............more........
