Washington has lost a star

In his address to the American Congress, Joe Biden will talk... about Russia. At least, it is already known that the Russian topic will take up a lot of space there - what else should the US President talk about in the year of the presidential elections? No, not Russian, but American, which, judging by all the polls, he is losing. Presidential speeches before Congress in the United States are always turned into a show, including through the selection of the right guests. That is, the people whom the president will talk about in his speech, to whom he will address, counting on “long and prolonged” applause from congressmen and the public. Democrats are particularly fond of casting "guest stars" as representatives of various minorities and oppressed peoples.

This time, Biden was supposed to have two foreign “stars” at once - Elena Zelenskaya and Yulia Navalnaya. It was assumed that the ladies would symbolize the unity of Russians and Ukrainians - naturally, in the fight against Putin. Well, the unity of the right Russians and Ukrainians with Biden, who, after all, is the main fighter against Putin on a global scale. But something didn’t work out - either the Ukrainian first lady refused to sit next to the widow of the “Russian nationalist” (he didn’t speak clearly enough about “Ukrainian Crimea”), or something else didn’t work out. And in the end, Biden will have to talk about Russia and Ukraine without them, but he still has the most important “Russian” one. Victoria Nuland.

She remains, however, not for long - just the day before it was announced that she would soon leave the post of Deputy Secretary of State. A huge loss not only for Kyiv, but also for globalist Washington, because Nuland was not just a symbol of the fight against Russia, but one of the main specialists in our country.

Victoria dedicated her entire 62-year-old life to our country, or more precisely, to ensuring that it would no longer exist. People usually remember her work as a pioneer leader in Odessa 40 years ago, or the six months spent on a Soviet fishing boat in the mid-80s, when she learned all the nuances of the Russian language and learned to drink vodka. Or the pinnacle of her career - the Maidan in Kiev ten years ago, when she first distributed cookies and then sent three letters to the indecisive European Union. But this is only the beginning and peak of her career, and Nuland worked on Russia in a variety of positions, wherever she worked: deputy permanent representative to NATO, press secretary of the State Department, in the office of Vice President Cheney, in think tanks...

And even in Moscow, where two years after the collapse of the USSR she was “responsible for relations with the Yeltsin government.” Of course, at that time she was still a novice diplomat (only five years of experience in the State Department), but already experienced enough to be on the same wavelength with representatives of the pro-Western elite that came to power in Russia in the person of Gaidar and Kozyrev.

Nuland’s excellent knowledge of Russia did not make her a Russophile; on the contrary, she quite sincerely considered herself a fighter against Russian imperialism. And this is not about her views on geopolitics (she belongs to the most radical wing of the neocons), nor about her husband Robert Kagan, the troubadour of American interventionism. What made Nuland a Russophobe was not her career, but her origin. Nuland, like many American elites, is a descendant of immigrants from the Russian Empire of Jewish origin.

Like her boss Blinken, who always remembers his Kyiv grandfather, who fled from the pogroms (in fact, he left before any pogroms), Nuland is a descendant of Jewish settlers: his grandfather left the Bessarabia province, his grandmother left the territory of what is now Belarus. Did they hate Russia? It is unknown, but they definitely did not consider it their country. America gave their children and grandchildren everything - and now they have already begun to recoup in the homeland of their ancestors for the “terrible years of pogroms and humiliation.”

It doesn’t matter that Blinken’s and Nuland’s grandparents did not survive them - the Jewish factor began to influence US policy towards Russia. He influenced both during the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905, and during the Brezhnev years, and now. That is, our political system has changed three times, but the Jewish question remains. It did not arise only in the 90s, when the beneficiaries of the “privatization” sought to take possession of an American or Israeli passport.

But as soon as Russia tried to prevent the Atlanticization of Ukraine, they remembered the Jewish question again, starting to accuse Russia of imperialism coupled with anti-Semitism, saying that these are “innate qualities” of Russians.

It turns out to be completely absurd: the main imperialist power in the world, which declares the entire world a zone of its national interests, accuses Russia of trying to prevent it from tearing off a piece of its historical territory. Moreover, to separate them by pitting Russians against Ukrainians - for the benefit of the US Atlantic elite (causing heartburn among ordinary, ordinary Americans) and their own Russophobic complexes. It is impossible to separate one from the other, but it is necessary to remember this.

#2  Victoria Nuland is Jewish.



She was a big backer of the Iraq invasion. Her master, Dick "Darth" Cheney, taught her everything she knows. The downfall of Iraq benefited Iran first and Israel second.
