Victoria Nuland Reveals Why US Didn’t Back Ukraine Peace Talks, Says Putin’s War Objective “Failed”

Victoria Nuland: Washington’s Pitbull Defending Ukraine | Dissecting Nuland's Position on Ukraine and Putin

Nuland says Ukraine hasn't been in a strong enough position to negotiate w/ Putin, who'd say: "What's mine is mine, and what's yours is negotiable."


Image

Image
Washington's position is that Ukraine must not cede any territory to Russia, and it's up to Ukrainians if they want to try to take Crimea back militarily, in which they'd have U.S.'s support.

“A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a legal contract…b/t at least two parties that outlines confidential material, knowledge, or information that the parties wish to share with one another for certain purposes, but wish to restrict access to.”

Bragg can’t say that Trump DOESN’T have the right to an NDA to keep an alleged affair with Daniels private. It’s a legal instrument available for keeping the lid on one’s dirty laundry. If Trump’s NDA is legal, where’s the case? Image

Reality ✅ | Biden keeps saying he decided to run against Trump after hearing him say: “There were very fine people on both sides” in Charlottesville in 2017.” KJP in fact just reiterated this. So this was Biden’s basis for running against Trump. Got it.✅
This however has always been an INACCURATE PORTRAYAL of Trump’s words from day one because what Trump immediately said next was: “…and I'm not talking about the Neo-nazis and white supremacists BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE CONDEMNED TOTALLY.”

Image
Democrats and the legacy media pounced on Trump’s statement, edited it by removing the 2nd half of the sentence and broadcast non-stop the quote Biden says got him to run against Trump saying: “How can we allow a man to be president who supports Neo-nazis and white supremacists?”

MYTH BUSTERS💥
The Media's "Very Fine People" Myth | Short Clips
The Charlottesville lie that just won't die.

Full unedited context of what Trump said:
💥💥💥💥💥
“There were very fine people on both sides, and I'm not talking about the Neo-nazis and white supremacists because they should be condemned totally.”
💥💥💥💥💥

KJP yesterday reiterated the very foundational reason that motivated Joe Biden to run for president against Donald Trump. What this means is that Biden has run on a myth. A lie. A false narrative constructed out of a deceptive distortion of Trump’s words taken out of context.

A Thin Line Between Love And Hate? |
“The Supernova music festival, billed as “a journey of unity and love” with “mindblowing and breathtaking content”.”
How the Hamas attack on the Supernova festival in Israel unfolded
“What was the party in the desert?
theguardian.com/world/2023/oct…
Israel’s Supernova Music Festival is kissing cousins to Burning Man Festival man and Deadheads at a Grateful Dead concert. The Hamas terrorist attack on Israelis partying at dawn on Oct 7, 2023 was an attack on Western culture’s most highly evolved values
of freedom, Women’s Liberation and inclusion. Pro-Iran and Pro-Hamas protestors crying “Hands Off Iran” and “Death to America/Israel” are proselytes of the Islamic Republic of Iran that throws LGBTQ off buildings and killed a girl for not wearing a hijab.

Not too long ago Obama asked "The question is, if Iran has $150 billion parked outside the country, does the IRGC automatically get $150 billion?" Good question Barack. It gets whatever it needs.
Fact Check: Did the US under Obama give Iran $150 Billion?
newsweek.com/us-give-iran-1…
As a reward for Iran joining the JCPOA in 2015, aka the Iran Nuclear Deal, Iranian foreign assets amounting to $150 billion (highest estimate) were unfrozen. They'd been frozen to check Iran's nuclear program. A major problem left unresolved since 2015 to now is the fact that

the People of Iran want peace with Israel, whereas the Islamic Republic of Iran has always made Islamic fundamentalism its national ideology, in effect making the Islamic Republic a perpetual 'enemy' of Israel where Judaism is the primary ethnic religion.
