INTRODUCTION Washington is in turmoil. In the wake of the 2022 US midterm elections, the dynamics of American politics has shifted with the capture of the House of Representatives by the Republican party. The Congressional investigation initiated by US Rep. James COMER and US Sen. GRASSLEY into the influence-peddling scheme allegedly organized in Ukraine by then Vice-President Joseph BIDEN is at the heart of a ferocious battle involving all branches of the federal government. As will be discussed further on, the FBI and the Justice Departments both played a central role not only in shielding Joe Biden and his family but in preserving the Ukrainian project which is dear to the neoconservatives who have managed to exert a stranglehold on the federal government.1 The question as to why no investigation was ever initiated in the US despite the release of overwhelming incriminating information (going back as far as 2020 with the infamous DERKACH Tapes) baffles the mind of any neutral observer unless one begins to examine the role played by the former Vice-President in masterminding the complete externalization of Ukrainian politics in order to facilitate the pillaging of that country before turning it into a battering ram against the Russian Federation.2 In order to better understand the obsession of US elites with Ukraine, it is useful to take a closer look at the individuals tasked with implementating the project.

As the main architect of the Maidan coup d'etat organized in Kiev in 2014, Victoria Nuland can be said to be the driving force behind a conflict which has led to nearly half a million casualties (dead and wounded), including 120 000 deaths alone.3 US-Chilean blogger Gonzalo Lira produced what can considered the definitive portrait of the person second-in-charge at the State Department.4 Victoria Nuland is to Ukraine what Paul Wolfovitz was to Iraq, with the sole difference that she holds a deep personal grudge against Russia which can only be understood by examining her own family history. To be sure, this book will not endeavor to delve into the deeper motivations of Victoria Nuland's obssession with Russia. Suffice it to say that owing to her influence at the State Department, she believes she can wield the power of the US federal government to "forge reality"5 In so doing, she aims to carry out the neoconservative imperative which calls for US full spectrum dominance over world affairs.
