Uber Russia-hawk Victoria Nuland rises to acting Deputy Secretary of State
In a little-remarked move, the Biden administration announced Monday that Victoria Nuland will take over as the acting second-in-command at the State Department. She replaces Wendy Sherman, who plans to retire at the end of this week.
