Victoria Milan’s is one evil b***h. Obama’s fixer. One of the great unseen hands working to bring about tyranny in this country. Sure she worked for Bush, since deep state hacks didn’t bother him a bit, but she hit her stride when Obama became president.

Nuland Is the poster child for everything wrong with the State Department. She and the ilk like her need to be cleansed from the bowels of the deep state. (That’s another attempt to clean up my language on FR. You can use your imagination to determine the four letter word I wanted to use to describe Nuland.)

Maybe, the US military supposedly has spent millions building a military base in Niger, that has probably stopped, and the base will now go to Niger, Russia or China.

We seem to be really good at spending billions arming our enemies.

They do. If it was legal for them to do, They would murder all of us. Right now the Law protects us. But given the climate in Washington, D.C. how long will that last. Already many are being persecuted and prosecuted. And one or more have been murdered.

I want to know where she gets her power, or rather, who she represents

Shocked by the coup?

Or, shocked by the fact that they’re not listening to her anymore?

Listen to the guy running Burkina Faso right now, he’s telling the people of his country that the days of being exploited by the West are over. Days of foreign companies coming in to mine their metals, while the people eat dirt are over.

Seems that the “natives” are restless and tired of folks like Nuland, the French and the EU taking advantage of them. And this is happening all over the continent.

And folks will ask why the Chinese and Russians are doing so much work in Africa. Well, even though both are taking advantage of these countries, they’re doing it more subtly and instead of preaching LBGT crap, they’re building roads, schools, wells, etc etc etc.

However, South Africa is a completely different animal. That place is a disaster and only getting worse.

I doubt it. The US forces will stay. They will declare it was agreed-to under some long-term agreement, pay some people off, draw out discussion, and otherwise militarily dare the Nigerian faction running the country to force them out - use all methods at their disposal

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, only estimating what will happen.

That’s an interesting book. China has been doing the same thing around the world.

GreyZone is a fringe, far left wing conspiracy theory website. Why are you reading it, let alone posting it?

The recent BRICS conference might give Nuland even more to fret about.

Now this is a joke. In twenty years of operation, BRICS has yet to make one single decision about literally anything - which makes sense because its members don't share the same interests (except for Russia and China, which have their own trade and defense alliance). It is a pure PR theater. I just don't see why you are amplifying this garbage.

She’s part of the permanent deep state along with people like Samantha Power and her husband Cass Sunstein, the “nudge” originator.

This is a far left wing conspiracy theory website affiliated with the Russian state. I’d wait for a more reliable source...

---- "....Nuland and her team were demonstrably unprepared to grapple with recent developments...."

That someone might disagree with you and you haven't considered that a possibility is a sign of a narcissistic sociopath.

One should remember that she also worked under Cheney, the "other" one.

A short resume:

July 29, 2023
United States Deputy Secretary of State

May 3, 2021
Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs

September 18, 2013 – January 20, 2017
Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs

May 31, 2011 – April 5, 2013
Spokesperson for the United States Department of State

June 20, 2005 – May 2, 2008
United States Ambassador to NATO

Brown University (BA) Russian literature, political science, and history

Pretty good career path for a bachelor-ette of arts.....

"...demonstrably unprepared...." but politically VERY well connected.
