This interview is gag-worthy as two condescending leftists wax philosophically about how progressive U.S. foreign policy should dictate global society. However, it does show just how flawed the ideology of the interventionist political leftists has become, and why their expansionist ideology always culminates in conflict.
Example: Right now, China is threatening to put military bases in the Solomon Islands. Australia and the collective west are aghast and ready to draw “red lines.” At the same time the U.S/NATO put military forces ever closer to Russia and are shocked that Putin would eventually respond to the red lines he previously drew. The geopolitical hypocrisy is ridiculous.
That hypocritical example above highlights the ironic point made in an interview between Margaret Hoover and former US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch as they discuss President Trump.
If Trump had won reelection, there was no reason for Putin to invade Ukraine because Donald Trump was not trying to expand pressure on Russia or any other foreign government. Yovanovitch admits directly that Trump foreign policy did not create conflict; yet, Yovanovitch pretends not to see the cause and effect in her leftist intervention advocacy. WATCH (prompted to 14:42):
“It’s Trump’s fault for not starting this wonderful war we’ve been planning for years!”
True that.
We have psychotic morons who suffer delusions of grandeur running this country right now.
They have delusions of adequacy.
Right, this woman thinks she is competent and wise and intelligent..omg, I can’t believe I listened to the whole thing..it turned my stomach.
Hard same.
I can’t listen to any of these people anymore. I’m preparing for the war they are waging on us. At some point it will go hot. Hopefully China and Russia will escalate leaving our homeland spread thin. Wake up people. Over a dozen food processing plants destroyed in a month right after they tell us we will have food shortages. Not too hard to connect the dots. They are so arrogant they tell us ahead of time exactly what they are going to do to us. The midterm elections will determine what we do next.
WELCOME TO –HARVARD SPEAK—-
😂
Pretty,pretty good, TGL.
The interview should have been called “Another Deep State Protector Rises to the Top.”
Cream naturally rises to the top. This was no cream. It was not a natural rise.
For Yovanovitch, it took men with firehoses to push her up there!
Yeah, well sh*t floats, too.
Dutchman beat me to it but I would also observe that hot air or any kind of gas bubble float to the surface as well.
Parasites. They are all parasites. We need some form of anti-parasitic for them. I have one, but I’d probably get a visit from the Stasi if I posted it.
Make them take that horse dewormer. They will be running for the hills.
Trump did win the election.
That last photo… Everywhere that McStain & Grahamnesty traveled together experienced a civil war that enriched the MIC.
There are no conspiracies & no coincidences.
That not only enriched the MIC, but that armed, and in many cases effectively CREATED the “enemy” the U.S. military would then “fight” under suicidal ROE’s, for YEARS, and to an eventual standoff.
Looking back on it, its understandable that the elites think American citisens are a bunch of “dumb rubes”; its not like they have been trying very hard to cover up their corruption.
They grift, we SEE them grifting, we KNOW they are grifting, they know we know, and nothing changes.
I find it INCREDIBLE there are ANY “Republican voters” that don’t recognise the true nature of the RNC/GOPe, and continue to repeat the rediculous “Party of Stupid”, etc. excuses, rather than trult accepting and embracing that the Congressional and Party Republican leadership is deliberately working counter to the interests of the base, has been my whole life, and WILL NOT CHANGE, and MUST be purged in order for us to Make America Great Again.
All sadly true Dutchman.
Yovanovitch is quite the smug vitch. And the nerve at the end to say how important it is to have a free press!!!
She meant it’s nice to have total control of the Press.
Good to see a comment from you, RP. I always could pick up what you wee laying down before insticator took over at TGP.
How dare President Trump keep us out of war by working deals for America’s best interest and its absolutely awful that Pompeo stir up and shake our deep state at foggy Bottoms. S/
Screw Pompeo, and no /s intended.
These people like to think we forget
Marie Yovanovitch – author, “Lessons from the Edge”
Title of my book review – “Jump“
The lesson is people like her do not belong in our government.
Best one word review ever👌 👍.
✅️”Jump”
It is absolutely disgusting how people pretend things happened that didn’t and pretend that things didn’t happen when they did. They do both.
BTW, while the war against Ukrainians who speak Russian started in 2014 under Obama, after Obama practiced regime change in Ukraine, Obama only sent medical supplies and blankets. President Trump upped that support to weapons.
That little detail destroys so many narratives. (Except Trump’s)
Trump didn’t and wouldn’t give Putin everything Putin wanted or would want.
Trump was hard on Putin. But he talked with him too. And would find mutually agreeable things.
Trump is the only President since Reagan who hasn’t tried to push NATO into former Warsaw Pact and former Soviet Territories. We won the cold war, but have kept fighting it anyways.
“Trump is the only President since Reagan who hasn’t tried to push NATO into former Warsaw Pact and former Soviet Territories”
Exactly
We won the cold war, but have kept
fightingmaking money off it anyways.President Trump understood that NATO was corrupt (besides being composed mostly of European socialist cheapskate governments) and was aiding the CIA’s immoral / illegal color revolution in that region.
Politicians play the “Get Rich, Get Powerful” games and thousands of men, women & children get slaughtered. SO WHAT!
They goad and provoke for a war, literally destroying a very productive country, but the politician is virtuous. SEE THERE!
Fossil brained politicians repay their “donors” with insane, destructive policies that destroy this country. SUCKS TO BE YOU!
Politicians have come to hate and resent the very citizens they represent; setting the stage for their end. YOU CAN’T DO IT!
Yomommab!tch is probably still getting some of our tax $$ sent to Ukraine laundered back to her.
Youdumbitch?
President Trump would have “convinced” Zelenskyy to stop killing Russian-Ukrainians in the eastern provinces after they voted for autonomy from Kiev. Then Moscow would have left them alone.
Here is President Putin in church today, Orthodox Easter Sunday.
Patriarch Kiril is no St. Thomas Beckett. The Russian Orthodox church has always been a weakling with Russian rulers. Putin is as Orthodox as Biden is Catholic. It would have been nice to have a protest outside Mass last night.
If a tree falls in the forest………..
Interview won’t have much of an impact. It’s broadcast on PBS, so other than the people reading this site nobody else will see this interview, and for the CTH people this is old news.
Sound of one hand clapping is a slap on the face.
More “Trump is colluding with Russia” propaganda. Putin wouldn’t have to invade because Trump would have given him everything he wanted. Ignoring the reality that Putin invaded becuase of Biden* NATO exspansion polices.
I hate the pro-war, warmongering, warhawk, interventionist neocons of both parties and of all political persuasions.
The U.S. government needs to stop intervening in other countries and creating useless, stupid wars around the world.
Every war the U.S. has been involved in since World War II have been pointless elective wars that could have easily been avoided. These pointless wars were caused by and supported by members of both of the main political parties.
The U.S. would enjoy much more peace and prosperity by just minding its own business and not intervening militarily in other countries.
This is one of the most disgusting interviews I ever listened to.
you could see it in her face when she realized just what she said
Why doesnt she admit Trump did in fact win the election?
Thats like discussing ways to manage a viral pandemic that doesnt exist.
FUBAR

And with their light carriers, AEGIS destroyers, and modern hunter-killer submarines working in concert together, Japan now has the striking power of an American aircraft carrier battle group. And more are coming. including a super-carrier or two. China will find itself outgunned and contained by the the naval forces and aircraft carrier battle groups of the US, Australia, Japan, India, and S. Korea.
OUT GUNNED. UNDER GUNNED—WHO CARES—————LETS FACE IT THE CHICOM RULE A NAVY WITH ZERO...OERATIONAL MEMORY OF REAL TIME COMBAT
This is sheer non-sense.
Trump’s issues with NATO was that they weren’t paying their required share of GDP into Nato’s coffers.
And if Trump was soft on Russia, why did he put a permanent reinforced mechanized brigade – commanded by a US general (permanently stationed in Poland) into Poland with its units rotating through the Baltic States.
Historical!
This was a major bone of contention with Mattis (and the rest of the foreign policy industrial complex) because Mattis wanted those troops to stay in Germany.
Not to mention that President Trump was first president to send Anti-Tank systems (Javelins) to Ukraine. Now the “military analysts” who ignore this fact are the same ones who now rave that Ukraine did not fall within 3 days because of … those Javelins in Ukraine.
Aside, we found out about those Javelins ($400m military aid package) only because of the Qui Pro Joe impeachment hoax.
God, these people lie and they do it so shamelessly…
Psychopathy in its truest form…
But returning to reality, people in Poland, with military background, watching this war playing out in Ukraine are saying that it was Trump’s guy at the DoD (Wess Mitchell) who is responsible for this strategy that Ukraine is executing. And these are people associated with the Potomic Foundation, as neo-con as they get.
If Ukraine wins this one, Mitchell is the guy who should get the credit because without him, this one would have already been over in February. The neo-cons in February were already planning for an insurgency if these people from Potomac are to be believed.
Amen.
Trump pull out of NATO? Trump told NATO, “Why should we pay for the defense of your children if you won’t”?
Makes sense to me.
Wess Mitchell offered more food for thought in an essay published last year that warned against a two-front war. Should Trump return to the presidency it is possible he will be offered a cabinet position.
But but Trump did win the election.
The people behind the coup/stealing of the elections need to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
Never ever gonna happen.
You are way too kind. Rather see either a meat hook or piano wire.
It’s too bad Ukraine’s president works for our Deep State and not for the People.
Just like here.
Elon should create some real deal special sunglasses like Rowdy Roddy Piper had in “They Live” that allow the hysterically blind Leftoid Demoncrats to see the Truth and only the Truth, when they keep “Pretending Not To Know Things”.. Scary part is if you notice what “They” pretend not to and give life to it through words or print, now you are the target.
What they have, is more like the special sunglasses, Douglas Adams wrote about, in Hitchhikers guide,..to wear in potentially dangerous situations.
The more dangerous it gets, the darker they turn.
So, doesn’t ADDRESS the danger, its just that you don’t have to SEE it, lol.
Their truth filters are buried in their brains.
Hard to dig out.
Sticky too.
So provoking an invasion can cause an invasion. Man, don’t you wish you were as smart as a liberal???
Yup!
Not only is she an ignoramus.
She comes off as…smug…thinks she knows it all.
Her first career must have been-acting/theater.
“Kick the dog until it bites you, then shoot it”..

There is speculation that retired Lieutenant General Trevor Cadieu won’t be coming back from the Ukraine. Now, I suspect he will turn himself in to the Russians. He has a body of knowledge that would be valuable to the Russians.

With President Trump we had Peace and Prosperity.
Our Communists stole the election.
Yovanovitch has transformed herself physically into a different looking woman but her devious anti Trump accusations and “leftist interventionist advocacy” have not changed at all. It is a disgusting reality that the Ukrainian people, that were not sponging off the corrupt foreign gravy train, are still just useful pawns to the sleazy political interventionists.
Ukraine has been largely destroyed in many areas, untold people killed and millions have evacuated the country but it seems that is still not enough for “diplomat” Marie and the opportunist PBS interviewer to promote their own careers and another lefty book from the misery and destruction.
It appears as though Old Marie Yovanovitch underwent some sort of makeover.
It didn’t help. She still looks like an old hag.
She should change her last name to Yovanobitch.
NEXT STOP TE KENNEDY SCHOOL AT HARVARD-
This CTH post has been noted by a commenter on The Saker of the Vineyard website today.
Did somebody win something?
What do you mean?
Politburo in charge not Biden or the Easter bunny.
Gag-worthy is an understatement.
.
Yovanovitch, daughter of Russian immigrants to Canada, then U.S., who taught language at a private high school, who then got a degree at Princeton in Russian history, and then immediately got a job in the foreign service where she’s apparently sat on her tush her entire life, on the government dole, doing the bidding of higher-ups in the State Dept., is the equivalent of a manager at a local driver license bureau or post office or city library. She is in no way shape or form qualified to make or opine on U.S. government policy or what it should be.
We really need to substantially clamp down on the size and scope of the State Dept.
.
SHE´S FOREIGN SERVICE, NO———–
If only we weren’t in charge, things wouldn’t suck so bad…
The famous Trump-Putin one-on-one meeting (absent any Empire handlers!) was a High Water Insanity moment for the Empire. You could literally see smoke pouring out the ears of the propaganda desks. Can’t compute! Can’t compute!
What if the two preeminent economic nationalists on the planet had decided their nations had no real beefs, are historic allies and could launch a trade-centered renaissance based on non-military comparative advantage?
The world is scheduled for a third world war. No power on earth can avert it. The sides have been settled and are imposed from above. The casus belli of the conflicts are contrived. No defections or best fast friendships allowed.
And no, our fate is not sealed because Biden is a particularly spectacular moron. Even Biden’s ineptitude is a non-deciding sideshow. And no, not even Trump could avert the next act, though he might be dragged to it kicking and screaming.
As Lincoln put it so brilliantly in his Second Inaugural: “Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.”
Great wars are supernaturally imposed. The real inflamed parties are the Principalities of Good and Evil.
HE. DID. WIN. you insufferable cow.
This Bitch.
This video is even funnier than the Frog Legs one.
I’m sure the Ukrainians are equally delighted to have President Trump’s recklessness behind them and President Biden’s protection.
I would have asked Madame Ambassador how many copies of her books have sold.
I really don’t agree. This situation against Russian-speaking people in eastern Ukraine has been percolating for more than six years, with Ukranians attacking Russian-speaking Ukranians and employing real Nazis as mercenaries. (“No. Ukraine is not a ‘nice’ place,” and it never has been since the time of the Russian Revolution …)
Russia spent an extraordinary amount of time trying to achieve a diplomatic solution, but there was none to be had. They have a genuine and pressing national security interest in this matter, and I think that they would have finally responded as they now have. There appears to be no other choice. Sometimes, you have to use force.
And if you do, do it as they did: set narrow, limited objectives and go directly towards them as professionally as possible. (The Americans could learn a lesson from that … wars are supposed to begin and end with success.)
People who literally couldn’t successfully run a 7-11 think they’re going to micro-manage the planet. Their incompetence is only surpassed by their arrogance.
Sometimes it seems these people live forever, but they don’t. John “Songbird” McCain is dead and gone.
