Graduate of the Dick Cheney school of Iraqi WMD Victoria Nuland just got a promotion taking the place of Wendy Sherman as # 2 at the State Dept behind Tony Blinken
We're still rewarding the ghouls who lied us into that war... but I believe her now

a million dead here, a million dead there
Nuland took part in administrations that cost 2 million (minimum) lives lost? do the path for us please.
yeah nuland is a piece of sh!t
everyone in europe knows it
should have a warrant for her arrest like kissimnger
it doesn't require taking *any* lives, let alone 2 million, to establish credentials as a POS. I'm sure Nuland qualifies for that low bar. I question that she was able to bear responsibility for 2 million deaths. what deaths were these?
I was just looking at the pictures of Nuland on Wiki and I think she looks better with longer hair, Not much of an improvement but every little bit helps.
"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003
Despite attempts to increase gender parity in politics, global efforts have struggled to ensure equal female representation. This is likely tied to implicit gender biases against women in authority. In this work, we present a comprehensive study of gender biases that appear in online political discussion. To this end, we collect 10 million comments on Reddit in conversations about male and female politicians, which enables an exhaustive study of automatic gender bias detection. We address not only misogynistic language, but also other manifestations of bias, like benevolent sexism in the form of seemingly positive sentiment and dominance attributed to female politicians, or differences in descriptor attribution. Finally, we conduct a multi-faceted study of gender bias towards politicians investigating both linguistic and extra-linguistic cues. We assess 5 different types of gender bias, evaluating coverage, combinatorial, nominal, sentimental and lexical biases extant in social media language and discourse. Overall, we find that, contrary to previous research, coverage and sentiment biases suggest equal public interest in female politicians. Rather than overt hostile or benevolent sexism, the results of the nominal and lexical analyses suggest this interest is not as professional or respectful as that expressed about male politicians. Female politicians are often named by their first names and are described in relation to their body, clothing, or family; this is a treatment that is not similarly extended to men. On the now banned far-right subreddits, this disparity is greatest, though differences in gender biases still appear in the right and left-leaning subreddits. We release the curated dataset to the public for future studies.

Thanks Dauphin. That was an insightful article. It certainly makes me question if I have some subconscious misogyny going on here. I'd like to think not, but the research you provided looks good. Something to work on I guess...
Crap huh... Actually the number I saw for the US death toll was ~4 1/2 million, but I dont know when they started counting or how indirectly our hands are on the instruments of death.
Madeleine Albright said a 1/2 million dead Iraqi children were worth the sanctions and that was before we invaded again. We could ask Victoria about that, she was already killing people for the neocon ideology

Let's see that number at least. Then we can discuss why you think it's credible.
How the hell can the US, let alone Nuland be responsible for 2/3 of the high estimate? 🙄
3/3rds... Those are our wars and the numbers dont include the 80s when we armed 'freedom fighters' and Islamic terrorists and used Iraq as a proxy vs Iran and spent the 90s killing Iraqis et al with sanctions and bombs. We could go back further, Vietnam and the Cambodian genocide, but that preceded Victoria's reign of terror.
