Obviously the cut and run from Ukraine will need to be executed under cover of some sort. Thus, the spectacle of Tony Blinken in Kiev saying publicly that we stand with Ukraine for ever and ever and we stand against “Putin”. What was said in private appears to be rather different. But first …
Victoria Nuland has given interviews in which she openly states that “the West” “advised” Ukraine to back out of the peace deal Russia was offering in Istanbul in April, 2022. According to Nuland, “the West” was “us, the Brits, and others”. It was, in Nuland’s version of events, the Ukrainians who sought out advice, not the Anglo-Zionists offering advice that Ukraine couldn’t refuse. Any way you slice it, with Russian troops nearing Kiev, the “advice” was to go to war with Russia. With friends like that …
Ah, but apparently Ukraine was told they’d get all they needed from “the West” to be successful, just like Blinken is repeating that tired and mendacious mantra even now. That’s the background to what’s really now going on, according to the WSJ:
Got that? First the Anglo-Zionists provide patently unrealistic advice, accompanied by overwhelming pressure. Then when it all turns to you-know-what, those same Anglo-Zionists are now demanding that Ukraine—Ukraine!—come up with a realistic plan. Talk about chutzpah! We know what that’s about, because we’ve seen the movie before:

West tells Ukraine it can’t afford victory – WSJ
Ukraine’s Western backers have told Kiev that they can’t hand over enough money and weapons to defeat Russia, and that Zelensky will need to “come up with a more realistic plan,” the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
NATO lost. Ukraine lost. Russia wins. Who would have thought.
This defeat is exponentially more serious than the previous cut and runs, so the gaslighting will need to be exponentially more … gaseous. But it all amounts to the same thing. Just so it gets us past November 5.
Unbelievable. Shameful. On the other hand, it’s difficult to work up much sympathy for the kind of people who colluded with and trusted the Anglo-Zionists.
Victoria Nuland's father, Dr. Sherwin Bernard Nuland,
/quote
was born Shepsel Ber Nudelman on Dec. 8, 1930, in the Bronx, the son of Orthodox Jews who had emigrated from Russia. (He adopted the first and middle names Sherwin Bernard when he went to kindergarten.) His childhood was spent in a tiny South Bronx apartment with his parents, his older brother, his maternal grandmother and a maiden aunt, in an atmosphere permeated with sickness and death.
A brother died before Dr. Nuland was born, and at age 3 he was hospitalized for diphtheria. His mother, the emotional center of his family, died of colon cancer when he was 11. In his memoir, “Lost in America” (2003), he recalled with striking vividness the bad smells and bloody pads that came from his mother’s room.
Dr. Nuland’s adolescent years were dominated by his father, Meyer Nudelman, a garment worker who was incapacitated by chronic illness and physical infirmities; he could not walk more than a short distance without his son’s help. Resisting a new way of life, the father never learned to read or write English — Yiddish was the predominant language at home — and he terrified his family with explosive rages.

And so on. NYT obit.
How can Ms. Nuland not be formed by a father formed as such. How can she not carry forward this family trauma in her professional life as a professional meddler in diplomatic affairs?
I wonder what FTEU Nuland’s light hand washing of her Ukraine linen in public has to do with this new “cover story” of the day, to use Richard C’s expression. Just laundering reality as usual? Nothing to see here? Just defending our principles! Even in defeat. Yes, shameful and vile.
