The Undiplomatic Diplomat | Foreign Policy

Beloved in Washington, resented in Europe, Victoria Nuland has occupied an outsized presence in European diplomatic circles over the past several years, especially in the contentious debate over how best to help Ukraine fight off Russian-backed rebels holding swaths of territory in its eastern provinces. FP’s John Hudson delivers an excellent profile of America’s senior diplomat for Europe, who has been described by her European colleagues as “brash,” “direct,” “forceful,” “blunt,” “crude,” and occasionally, “undiplomatic.”
But those exact qualities are precisely what makes her such a superstar at home, particularly among the hawks on Capitol Hill who gleefully revel in her outspoken support of delivering weapons to the Ukrainians. Doing so pokes a stick in the eye of Europeans whom Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain and others consider to be too slow, and too cautious, to confront Moscow. And of course, no story about Nuland is complete without a detailed textual analysis of the “F**k the EU” incident.”
Intéressante biographie de V. Nuland.
L’analyse « détaillée » de l’épisode du F word a surtout le mérite d’éclipser totalement le fond du coup de téléphone qui consistait à dicter le futur gouvernement ukrainien.
