I take this to mean that pragmatic politics—winning an election—is coming to the fore, elbowing the hardest of hardcore ideologues to the side. Remember, this isn’t just about Ukraine. It’s very much about the Middle East. Ideologues like Nuland don’t jump overboard on a whim—only when they lose influence. Note, too, that Gantz is meeting with the White House people. While all sorts of people from different agencies can attend such meetings, we should assume that Kama Sutra and Sullivan are in charge of the agenda, not any additional attendees.

Nuland resigns:
Clearest indication yet that the US knows the Ukraine war is over and Russia has won:
Nuland has spent a decade making this her primary focus and it has ended in total failure. She clearly doesn't want to be in the limelight when that reality becomes publicly undeniable.
This failure will live long in her memory, rather like Clinton's failure to become president.

My understanding is that naval drones are a UK speciality:

 A Video has appeared of hitting the Russian patrol boat "Sergei Kotov" near the Crimean bridge
The Ukrainian GUR has already taken responsibility for the night attack on the boat.
According to them, on the night of March 4-5, 2024, the special unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense "Group 13" attacked the patrol ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet "Sergey Kotov".
As a result of an attack by maritime drones “Magura V5”, the Russian ship of project 22160 “Sergey Kotov” received damage to the stern, starboard and left sides.
According to the telegram channel “Two Majors”, “Sergey Kotov” bravely fought with enemy naval drones, the ship itself was killed [i.e., sunk], the crew is alive, evacuated, there are several wounded.
As some sources write, about a dozen MBECs were heading to the boat, so there were few chances to fight back.
This is another ship sunk directly by the UK and their water drones. Putin still has a cool head.

Lawrence Wilkerson was a top ranking US official. Here he talks about his experience with the Israeli regime: "I never, ever believe Israeli figures. The Israelis are patent liars. Let me say that again: They are liars."
A Labour member of the House of Lords, John Hutton, simultaneously heads an Israeli state-owned arms firm.
Hutton is the director of Pearson Engineering, a subsidiary of Rafael, which is directly owned by the Israeli government.
