Foreign Entanglements: Ukraine, Biden & the Fractured American Political Consensus

by Arnaud Develay

Overview

The freight train that is the conflict in Ukraine inexorably advances to its final destination. Each one of its passengers feels inextricably trapped onboard as the infernal machine acquires more speed and time runs out for an off-ramp. For years, the exit signs have succeeded one another so as to turn into an ever more indistinguishable blur: The Minsk Agreements, the late 2021 Russian proposal to Washington on security guarantees, the aborted peace negotiations held in Istanbul at the onset of the war. All that remains is the (increasing) background noise of random security experts, pundits and occasional reality-based politicians offering the notion that maybe Ukraine might just not be able to win the West’s proxy war with Russia.

Why won’t sensible heads in Washington own up to the situation and call it a day? Why does the West keep sending Ukraine billions of dollars better spent at home while exhorting Ukraine to send countless young (and old and female) Ukrainians to certain death? What is it about Ukraine that seems to prevent the foreign policy Blob from finding a way out, as happened in Korea, Viet-Nam and Cambodia?

Can it be because Ukraine remains to this day the exclusive playground of a concentration of interests which, taken all together, constitute a who’s who of the Washington Establishment—including DARPA, DTRA, the EcoHealth Alliance, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to name but a few. For years, Kiev had served as a home away from home to US political figures and their offspring, furthering Ukraine’s deserved reputation for being one of the most corrupt places on Earth. For years, Ukraine offered all of them opportunities to advance their respective projects and operate with total impunity.

Arnaud Develay dives into the murky waters of Washington’s “external management” of Ukraine dating back to the infamous Maidan coup d’état and extending forward to include the political weaponization of law and elections foibles, past and forthcoming, reflecting the fracturing of the American political class.

It’s one hell of an expose, full of the nitty-gritty on how America seems ready and willing to tear itself apart.

Read an Excerpt

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.

Editorial Reviews

Arnaud Develay’s new book is a must-read! This book shows how the corruption and lies of the liberal political establishment in the US has inexorably led to the terrible war in Ukraine. Develay also demonstrates how democracy itself has been compromised and undermined, potentially fatally, in the process. This insightful book is a crucial antidote to the incessant media propaganda which is helping to prop up a corrupt political system leading us to the brink of nuclear war.” Daniel Kovalik, Professor, University of Pittsburg School of Law and author of seven books

"An eye-opening account delving into the U.S. regime change scheme in Ukraine that masked high-level corruption and destroyed a country." Dr. Cynthia McKinney, former Congresswoman and Green Party Presidential Candidate

“Hard-hitting and comprehensive, Develay’s investigative treatise uncovers the real nexus of Ukrainian and U.S. Democratic Party establishment corruption. For anyone interested in what really happened, this book should be at the top of their reading list.” Patrick Henningsen, journalist and founder of 21st Century Wire

“Develay’s book, Foreign Entanglements, shows how Ukraine–which UK Prime Minister Boris Johnon’s top adviser recently called “a corrupt mafia state”–was at the center of the Biden family and Democratic Party corruption in the age of Russia Gate.” Jeremy Kuzmarov, Covert Action Magazine
