WaPo Columnist Resigns After Paper Refuses to Endorse Kamala. Guess Who He’s Married To!

Arch-neoconservative and Washington Post editor-at-large Robert Kagan has resigned from the newspaper after it declined to endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential race. Kagan, who writes a column for the Post, is married to the Biden-Harris government’s former Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland—the globalist architect of the Ukraine war.

Kagan’s resignation follows The Washington Post’s announcement that it will not endorse Kamala Harris for president less than two weeks before Election Day. This is the first time the newspaper has declined to endorse a candidate since the 1988 presidential election. Publisher and CEO Will Lewis announced the decision to the newsroom on Friday.

The resignation of Kagan is not surprising, coming from a long line of neoconservative intelligentsia who are opposed to the more humble, noninterventionist foreign policy advocated by President Donald J. Trump. His late father, Donald Kagan, and brother, Fred Kagan, have both leveled their own criticisms of Trump over the years.

In addition to the familial ties to anti-Trump sentiments, Kagan’s wife—Victoria Nuland—is no fan of Trump either. A senior official in the Biden-Harris government, Nuland was the chief architect of the Biden-Harris policy on the Ukraine war. Infamously, Nuland has pushed for allowing Ukraine to expand the conflict by conducting military strikes deep inside Russia—a red line that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin says could elicit a nuclear response.

Having failed to sufficiently escalate the conflict in Eastern Europe, Nuland announced her resignation this past March. Just months later, her former boss, President Joe Biden, was forced into a ‘sort of’ resignation of his own following a disastrous debate against Trump. Consequently, the 81-year-old Democrat was replaced in July by Vice President Kamala Harris as the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.

Biden-Harris Official Admits They Blocked a Ukraine-Russia Peace Deal.

Anti-Russia warmonger and recent Biden-Harris official Victoria Nuland has admitted that Ukraine and Russia were approaching a peace deal in 2022 but that the United States blocked the deal, claiming it was unfair to Ukraine.

Nuland was questioned about claims first reported by Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, suggesting that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had encouraged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to reject a potential peace deal with Moscow in 2022.

This was later confirmed by Russian President Vladimir Putin during an interview with Tucker Carlson earlier this year.

Nuland explained that foreign leaders involved in the negotiations believed the parties were close to reaching an agreement. However, the terms of the proposed deal, especially those regarding military constraints on Ukraine but not on Russia, were an issue for Western powers.

“Putin’s main condition was buried in an annex,” she said, referring to restrictions on Ukraine’s future military capabilities while similar limits were not imposed on the Russian military.

She admitted, “People inside Ukraine and people outside Ukraine started asking questions about whether this was a good deal, and it was at that point that it fell apart.”

“Russia wasn’t required to pull back… wasn’t required to have the same constraints on its military facing Ukraine,” she stated.

The peace deal aimed to establish Ukraine as a permanently neutral and non-nuclear state that would not join military alliances like NATO or host foreign military bases.

Nuland’s admissions highlight that Western powers were concerned with ensuring Russia remained weakened, even at the expense of immediate peace.

Since 2022 attempted peace negotiations, estimates claim as many as hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian troops have been killed in the conflict.

Warmonger Victoria Nuland Wants U.S. to Help Ukraine Attack Russia.

Former Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, the globalist architect of the Ukraine war, is calling for the U.S. to escalate the Russo-Ukrainian conflict by facilitating Ukrainian strikes inside Russia. Nuland issued her fervent call for increased American military support for Ukraine during an interview with ABC News’s Martha Raddatz on Sunday.

“They need to be able to stop these air attacks that are coming from bases inside Russia. So, I think there’s also a question of whether we, the United States and our allies, ought to give them more help in hitting Russian bases, which we’ve not been willing to do,” Nuland said.

Raddatz replied by pointing out the Biden regime’s belief that direct strikes on Russian bases would escalate the war and the U.S.’ involvement in it. “So, why do you think that’s a good idea?” she asked Nuland.

Nuland responded by making several bizarre statements, including that Russia has been escalating the war and that COVID isolation made Russian President Vladimir Putin “more and more paranoid.” She also claimed, without offering evidence, that Putin wishes to “restore the Soviet Union” and is “willing to sacrifice the future of Ukraine and the Russian people” for “crazy imperial ambition.”

However, the fact is that as a Russian victory in the war appears more and more likely, several NATO member countries are seeking to escalate the conflict, an escalation that risks dragging the U.S. into a full-blown war with Russia in Europe.

Ukraine War Architect Victoria Nuland RESIGNS.

Victoria Nuland, the third-ranking diplomat in the United States and architect of the Ukraine war, has announced her early retirement, according to the State Department.

Her resignation will doubtless be construed as a sign of her failure across several briefs, most recently her Ukraine war involvement and the ongoing crisis in Europe.

A statement from Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday morning read:

Victoria Nuland has let me know that she intends to step down in the coming weeks as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs – a role in which she has personified President Biden’s commitment to put diplomacy back at the center of our foreign policy and revitalize America’s global leadership at a crucial time for our nation and the world.

Toria’s tenure caps three and a half decades of remarkable public service under six Presidents and ten Secretaries of State. Starting with her very first posting as a consular officer in Guangzhou, China, Toria’s had most of the jobs in this Department. Political officer and economic officer. Spokesperson and chief of staff. Deputy Assistant Secretary and Assistant Secretary. Special Envoy and Ambassador.

These experiences have armed Toria with an encyclopedic knowledge of a wide range of issues and regions, and an unmatched capacity to wield the full toolkit of American diplomacy to advance our interests and values.

What makes Toria truly exceptional is the fierce passion she brings to fighting for what she believes in most: freedom, democracy, human rights, and America’s enduring capacity to inspire and promote those values around the world. These were the principles that drove Toria when we first met more than 30 years ago. They are the same principles she has brought to her work as Under Secretary, and as Acting Deputy Secretary of State – a role she filled seamlessly for seven months.

Over the past three years, Toria has led this Department on everything from addressing complex crises in the Sahel, Haiti, and the Middle East, to broadening and strengthening America’s alliances and partnerships across Europe and the Indo-Pacific.

But it’s Toria’s leadership on Ukraine that diplomats and students of foreign policy will study for years to come. Her efforts have been indispensable to confronting Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, marshaling a global coalition to ensure his strategic failure, and helping Ukraine work toward the day when it will be able to stand strongly on its own feet – democratically, economically, and militarily.

There is so much to admire about Toria beyond her diplomatic skill. She always speaks her mind – to my benefit and to the benefit of our foreign policy. She always stands up for and invests in America’s diplomats – mentoring them, lifting them up, and ensuring they and their families have what they deserve, and what our mission demands. She finds light in the darkest moments, makes you laugh when you need it most, and always has your back.

President Biden and I have asked our Under Secretary for Management John Bass to serve as Acting Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs until Toria’s replacement is confirmed.

We are so grateful for Toria’s service, and for the lasting mark she’s made on this institution and the world.
