The filthy Jew terrorist Victoria Nuland, a Russian Jew who was the architect of the Ukraine war as part of an ethnic revenge agenda, has moved into the internet censorship movement, accusing Elon Musk of being a Russian agent and calling for a total shutdown of the freedom of speech to defeat Russia.

When Russia invaded the Ukraine, they were basically engaged in a threat â€“ â€œwe will go to war with you if you donâ€™t surrender.â€ Thatâ€™s why they called it a â€œspecial military operationâ€ instead of a â€œwar.â€ They only sent 20,000 troops to Kiev, which is obviously only a small fraction of the number you...

Russia is doing things right and going through the investigation of the attack.

Victoria Nuland's retirement is an admission that Washington's premier foreign policy project has failed. No government official is more identified with the Ukraine fiasco than Nuland.
