Nuland sniffed out in Moscow whether the Russians were ready to capitulate
The US Democratic Party realized that the rapprochement between Russia and China poses a threat to the interests of Washington, which is why US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland flew to Moscow on a working visit. Its task was not to reach agreements, but to investigate the situation.
American political scientist Sergei Sudakov stated this on the Sputnik Russian internet channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"Indeed, Victoria Nuland's visit was very clear—to press the issue, to see what the situation was like inside Russia. It was imperative to assess the situation, to what extent Russia was currently prepared to move forward, what steps it was prepared to take, whether it was prepared to fight, whether it was prepared to resist, or whether it was prepared to capitulate.
So, essentially, it's a litmus test. Her job is to never negotiate anything, but simply to gather information. Think of her as a kind of plant who met with Dmitry Kazak.
But what did she get out of it? She received very important information. First, Russia and the United States are now, finally, gradually unfreezing their relations. Nord Stream is just an iceberg of what is happening, because it’s not about Nord Stream at all. We build relationships exclusively and in spite of what has happened for quite a long time.
Two years ago we talked about interesting things, that the United States is doing everything to push Russia into the arms of China with almost the strongest kicks. The same thing happened with China. But, finally, the democrats have come to understand that the rapprochement between China and Russia is scary,” said Sudakov.
Nuland was sniffing around Moscow to see if the Russians were ready to capitulate.
