Can you explain what project is unwinding? It looks to me like Europe is still coming together to resist the danger of Russian invasion. For Nuland, it looks like she had a long career, she had many good roles, she championed protecting Ukraine and there was only one other position for to be promoted to and they promoted someone else. So that seems like a perfect time to leave after a successful career.

Retreating gives more benefits to Ukraine.

If you think anything is defeated, you should look at the facts ( eg. Airplanes downed in the last weeks). Which seems to be more significant to me while f16's are on the way.

Retreating is not defeating :)


Oh boy, by that account Russia should be in rubbles a year ago. Putin even had to kill off his caterer turned warlord, who staged a mutiny and marched with 5k mercenaries on Moscow and the rest of the country just stood by and watched the show.


Victoria Nuland is a red flag. Conspiracy theorists are obsessed with her for some reason. Whenever she is brought up, I stop listening. She's not that important.

Conspiracy theories see things when things aren't there.

She had a political career for 30 years and she claimed to retire.

Did you consider that she perhaps just wants to retire? NATO has all the new ( and strong) members that wanted to join.

Seems like a good time like any other to me, additionally she's 63.

Passed the smell test for me.


> Conspiracy theories see things when things aren't there

Exactly. They make outrageously evidence-free statements like "Victoria Nuland isn't important".
