 Well, my name is Ann Wright. I'm a former U.S. diplomat. I was 16 years in the State Department. We're standing here to say no to Victoria Neuland to be nominated as Deputy Secretary of State. She's right now Acting Secretary of State, which is very dangerous for American foreign policy and military policy. She is a horror. She has been part of the warmongering machine since the time of Dick Cheney, who was a mentor for her. She supported the war in Iraq. She's been terrible when it comes to NATO expansion. She was the U.S. Ambassador there. And now, in this war in Ukraine, she's probably the number one person who has been responsible for having the U.S. provoke Russia with the expansion of NATO, with the U.S. involvement interfering in the 2014 Maidan uprising that turned into a coup, with the constant provocations that has led us into this war right now. And so she should definitely, as the last person who should be representing the United States and the State Department, we need real diplomats, not warmongers like Victoria Neuland. Victoria Neuland is a very dangerous person, and we, the American citizen, we should oppose any nomination for her as Deputy Secretary of State.
