Good Riddance

I note with grim satisfaction the retirement of the maleficent Victoria Nuland, the meddlesome witch whose machinations in Ukraine gave us the Maidan revolution in 2014, and everything that has happened since. In my opinion she has the blood of hundreds of thousands, the collapse of the Ukrainian nation, and the useless expense of many scores of billions of American taxpayers’ dollars on her talons.

Her withdrawal as the disaster she created enters its terminal phase is her tacit acknowledgement of what we’ve been saying here all along, namely that Ukraine’s prospects in this war were hopeless from the beginning. Having wrecked the place beyond recovery, and having sent the flower of its manhood to be maimed and slaughtered in their hundreds of thousands, she will now simply walk away — which seems to be business as usual for our State Department these days — to a well-padded life in corporate boardrooms, ivied campuses, and excellent restaurants. Rest assured that the Imperial Court, and the Mouth of Sauron, will assign the blame elsewhere.

    Do you really think she is gone? I wouldn’t be surprised if she is given some new office to continue her unfinished work.

    Max, answering your question is relatively easy and quite straightforward.

    No.

    The president and founder of the Institute for the Study of War is Kimberly Kagan, a military historian who is married to Frederick Kagan, who is also a military historian and does work for ISW. Frederick is a well-known neoconservative, though not as well-known as his brother Robert.

    Robert Kagan’s wife, Victoria Nuland, is the state department official who very publicly supported Ukraine’s 2014 Maidan Revolution.

    All of this helps explain why noted phrasemaker Mickey Kaus has called the Kagan family “the Kagan industrial complex.”

    But how reliable is all this ISW bidness with Victoria Nuland really?

    That’s easy too:
