The State Department announced on Tuesday that Victoria Nuland, the third highest-ranking U.S. diplomat, would step down.
After a brief hiatus from the State Department under President Donald Trump, Nuland returned to the agency when President Joe Biden nominated her as Secretary of State Antony Blinken's under-secretary of state for political affairs.
After working under Vice President Dick Cheney as a principal deputy foreign policy adviser, Nuland was U.S. ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization under President George W. Bush until 2008.
Independent Substack journalist Jordan Schachtel outlined "The Real Victoria Nuland" following the announcement of her resignation.
Suffice it to say the world is far more dangerous than when Victoria Nuland entered the scene.
If fomenting World War III is a metric of success, then Nuland will be on her way to a high-paid professorship at an American university, if not a fellowship at a Beltway think tank.
Nuland's career is a testament to career officials failing upward in the elite class of D.C. bureaucrats.
