More Warmongers Elevated In The Biden Administration by Mc Caitlin Johnstone!

The Biden administration looks set to become even more warlike than it already was if you can imagine, with virulent Russia hawk Victoria Nuland and virulent China hawk Charles Q Brown now being elevated to lofty positions by the White House.

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Ms Nuland, the wife of alpha neocon Robert Kagan, has been named acting deputy secretary of state by President Biden, at least until a new deputy secretary has been named. This places her at second in command within the State Department, second only to Tony Blinken.

NEW: Uber Russia-hawk Victoria Nuland rises to acting deputy secretary of state

She probably did more than anyone to sour United States-Russia ties; now, she is one of Washington,D.C.s top diplomats, connor_-chols reports in RStatecraft.-Quincy Institute (QuincyInst) July 25, 2023

In an article about Ms Nulands unique role in souring relations between the United States and Russia during her previous tenure in the State Department under President Barack Obama, Responsible Statecrafts Connor Echols writes the following of the latest news:

Ms Nulands appointment will be a boon for Russia hawks who want to turn up the heat on the Kremlin. But, for those who favor a negotiated end to the conflict in Ukraine, a promotion for the notoriously "undiplomatic diplomat" will be a bitter pill!

A few quick reminders are in order. When Ms Nuland was serving in the Obama administration, she had a now-infamous leaked call with the United States ambassador to Ukraine.

As the Maidan Uprising roiled the country, the pair of United States American diplomats discussed conversations with opposition leaders, and Ms Nuland expressed support for putting Arseniy Yatseniuk into power. (Yatseniuk would become prime minister later that month, after Russia-friendly former President Viktor Yanukovych fled the country.) At one memorable point in the call, Ms Nuland said "Fu-k the EU" in response to Europes softer stance on the protests.

The controversy surrounding the call - and larger implications of United States involvement in the ouster of Mr. Yanukovych - kicked up tensions with Russia and contributed to Russian President Vladimir Putins decision to seize Crimea and support an insurgency in eastern Ukraine.

Her handing out food to demonstrators on the ground in Kyiv probably did not help either.Ms Nuland, along with State Department sanctions czar Daniel Fried, then led the effort to punish President Putin through sanctions.

Another official at State reportedly asked Mr. Fried if "the Russians realize that the two hardest-line people in the entire United States government are now in a position to go after them?"

In a 2015 Consortium News article titled "The Mess That Nuland Made," the late Robert Parry singled out Ms Nuland as the primary architect of the 2014 regime change operation in Ukraine, which, as Aaron Maté explained last year, paved the way to the war we are seeing there today. Hopefully her position winds up being temporary.

In other news, the Senate Arms Services Committee has voted to confirm President Bidens selection of General Charles Q Brown Jr as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, replacing Mark Milley. A full senate vote will now take place on whether to confirm Mr. Brown - currently the Air Force Chief of Staff - for the nations highest military office.

Mr. Brown is unambiguous about his belief that the United States must hasten to militarize against China in the so-called Indo-Pacific to prepare for confrontation between the two powers, calling for more United States bases in the region and increased efforts to arm Taiwan during his hearing before the Senate Arms Services Committee earlier this month.

Back in May, Moon of Alabama flagged Mr. Browns nomination in an article which also noted that several advocates of military restraint had been resigning from their positions within the administration, including Wendy Sherman, the deputy secretary of state who Nuland has taken over for.

It is too soon to draw any firm conclusions, but to see voices of restraint stepping down and proponents of escalation stepping up could be a bad portent of things to come!!!
