I have no idea how this woman passed the CA bar exams. She comes across as really dumb. She's not smart enough to act dignified, let alone give a serious answer to the horrific refugee situation in Ukraine. Her fellow Puppet Leaders are way better at faking the concern game. Why she was sent is beyond me, unless TPTB wanted her to screw things up even more."The Show" has this campy sci-fi/horror vibe going on.
IMO she was selected and put forward precisely to discredit and misrepresent the US. She is embarrassing and irritating and depressing as hell to watch. And that is exactly her job. She is also a trillion dollar insurance policy for Joe Bribem.I have no idea how this woman passed the CA bar exams. She comes across as really dumb.

I suppose she was chosen for the same reason Biden was, to make the U.S look weak and pathetic.I have no idea how this woman passed the CA bar exams. She comes across as really dumb.

To add, they're sinking their own ship in other words.
Inflation in the US is currently at about 7.8 percent, and is a 40-year high for the country. Yet, President Joe Biden insists he "can't do much" about it right now because it is the Russian president who is to blame, not his administration.
US President Joe Biden on Friday once again expressed discontent with those Americans who believe that his administration is to blame for the record-high inflation levels the United States is facing.
According to Biden, the culprit is in fact across the pond, and it is Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I'm sick of this stuff… The American people think the reason for inflation is the government spending more money", an emotional Biden said during a speech at a House Democrats retreat in Philadephia. "[...] Make no mistake, inflation is largely the fault of Putin".
The US president claimed that gasoline prices skyrocketed in January "from the moment he [Vladimir Putin] put his over 150,000 troops on the Ukrainian border". According to the president, "the world took notice" of Moscow "amassing troops", and businesses "anticipated" the crisis.
Yet, many Americans believe there are other possible causes behind the record-high inflation, such as Biden's ambitious spending plans, particularly the American Rescue Plan, followed by a larger Build Back Better framework. The president, however, assured that the American Rescue Plan only stood for "0.3 percent" of inflation and asked to "give [him] a break".
"Democrats didn't cause this problem. Vladimir Putin did", Biden concluded.
The Biden administration has recently banned the import of all Russian energy products - a move that did not help already soaring gas prices. Global crude oil prices rose above $130 a barrel, and pump prices for US gasoline crossed $4 a gallon this week (and in some states, even $5), both reaching 14-year highs.
Among those not willing to point the finger at the Russian president is Obama Auto Task Force official Steve Rattner.
"This is Biden's inflation and he needs to own it", he tweeted, responding to Biden's claims that the high inflation is to be blamed on the aftermath of harsh anti-Russian sanctions imposed by the West.

A Republican politician and congressional candidate Jake Evans recalled other excuses for high inflation that Biden has offered.
"In January, inflation was at 7.5% and Biden blamed the supply chain crisis. In February, inflation hit 7.9%, and now Biden is blaming Putin. Who will the Biden administration blame next month?", Evans wondered.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said that Biden is playing "an inflation blame game".

Iraq and neighbouring Syria are regularly the scene of violence between the United States and Iran. Iran-backed Shi'ite Islamist militias have attacked U.S. forces in both countries and Washington has on occasion retaliated with air strikes.
An Israeli air strike in Syria on Monday killed two members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Iranian state media said this week. The IRGC vowed to retaliate, it said.
Kurdish officials did not immediately say where the missiles struck. A spokesperson for the regional authorities said there were no flight interruptions at Erbil airport.
Residents of Erbil posted videos online showing several large explosions, and some said the blasts shook their homes. Reuters could not independently verify those videos.
Iraq has been rocked by chronic instability since the defeat of the Sunni Islamist group Islamic State in 2017 by a loose coalition of Iraqi, U.S.-led and Iran-backed forces.
Since then, Iran-aligned militias have regularly attacked U.S. military and diplomatic sites in Iraq, U.S. and many Iraqi officials say. Iran denies involvement in those attacks.
The new missile strike may have been a response by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to the March 7 Israeli airstrikes on the Syrian capital, Damascus. The attack claimed the lives of two officers of the guards, colonels Ehsan Karbalaipour and Morteza Saidnejad.
Ukraine is not a NATO member and Kiev has recently indicated it is now ‘less passionate’ about joining
US Vice President Kamala Harris has said that, by fighting Russia, Ukraine is defending the US-led NATO alliance in an apparent gaffe.
In a speech to the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) winter meeting in Washington, DC on Saturday, Harris argued that Russia’s offensive in Ukraine “threatens not just Ukraine’s democracy” but “democracy and security across Europe,” as well as overseas.
“The ocean that separates us will not leave us untouched by this aggression,” Harris claimed, before seemingly suggesting that Ukraine is doing NATO’s bidding.
"So I will say what I know we all say, and I will say over and over again: The United States stands firmly with the Ukrainian people in defense of the NATO alliance," she said.
However, the transcript of the speech released by the White House suggested that Harris misspoke with “and” being added before “in defense of the NATO alliance.”
“The United States stands firmly with the Ukrainian people and in defense of the NATO Alliance,” the transcript reads.
That did not stop the VP’s critics on social media from accusing her of a foreign policy blunder. Some Republicans questioned whether Harris mistakenly believed Ukraine was a member of the alliance.
While Kiev was initially passionate about joining NATO, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicated this week that he had become less interested in the idea, accusing the US-led military bloc of not doing enough to support Ukraine. NATO has previously rejected Zelensky’s appeal for the establishment of a no-fly zone over the country, arguing it would drag the whole alliance into the conflict with Russia.
“I’ve become less passionate about this issue after we understood that NATO isn’t ready to accept Ukraine,” said Zelensky on Monday, accusing NATO of being “afraid of controversial things and a confrontation with Russia.”
“I’ve never wanted Ukraine to be a country that is on its knees, begging for something. And we’re not going to be that country,” he added.
Kamala Harris is an air-head. But Spoke Person for WH is not dumb but the things she says are sometime priceless.'Kamala says Ukraine is defending NATO from Russia.'
Vice President Harris says US backs Kiev ‘in defense of NATO alliance’

Apparently there were 12 missile strikes near the US Consulate in Erbil, Iraq. Some claim that the Consulate itself was under attack, but no evidence of that. No casualties are reported so far.
MSM hints that it is probably Iran:
No confirmation of anything yet, nobody taking credit. And no confirmation of a supposed target, either. So far all we have are some videos of explosions. SouthFront suggests it is retribution for the attacks on Damascus on March 7th.
So my question is - qui bono? Who benefits from this?
On 13 March, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it launched targeted missile strikes against Israeli Mossad bases in Erbil, the capital of Iraq’s Kurdistan region.
The announcement followed reports by Iraqi media outlets that a numbers of locations in the city were hit by at least 12 guided missiles shortly after midnight.
According to the reports, a number of Mossad agents were killed while several others sustained serious injuries. The bases were allegedly being used as training centers by the Israeli intelligence agency.
A senior Iranian source told The Cradle today “The Israelis were using the facility to train saboteurs for attacks against Iran and Iranians.”
Washington has threatened “significant consequences” for economic, military, or political assistance
The US warned China against helping Russia in any way, the White House confirmed on Monday, following a meeting between President Joe Biden’s national security adviser and a senior Chinese diplomat.
If China provides “military or other assistance” to Russia, “there will be significant consequences,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters. As to what that might entail, Psaki only said the US will “coordinate with our partners and allies to make that determination.”
Her comments come after the meeting in Rome between Biden’s national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, and Chinese envoy Yang Jiechi. While the meeting had been in the works for months and involved a lengthy agenda, the conflict in Ukraine was also discussed.
On Sunday, ahead of the meeting, Sullivan told US media that the White House was “communicating directly, privately to Beijing, that there will absolutely be consequences for large-scale sanctions evasion efforts or support to Russia to backfill them.”
“We will not allow that to go forward and allow there to be a lifeline to Russia from these economic sanctions from any country, anywhere in the world,” he added.
An unnamed Pentagon official told reporters on Monday the US has seen China “basically give tacit approval to what Russia is doing” and will “watch very closely” if Beijing provides any military aid to Moscow.
This was in regard to widely reported claims over the weekend – sourced to anonymous US officials – that Russia had asked China for military and financial aid. A senior White House official briefing the press ahead of Psaki’s main event declined to comment on those reports, however.
“What I would just say, in general, is that we do have deep concerns about China’s alignment with Russia at this time, and [Sullivan] was direct about those concerns and the potential implications and consequences of certain actions,” the official said.
Asked about media reports that Russia had requested aid, spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington Liu Pengyu told Reuters on Sunday he “had never heard of that,” and said China’s priority was “to prevent the tense situation from escalating or even getting out of control.”
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters on Monday that the press reports were “disinformation” from the US. He added that Beijing remains opposed to “unilateral sanctions” and that its government will resolutely safeguard the rights of Chinese businesses.
Moscow sent troops into Ukraine last month, citing Kiev’s refusal to implement the peace plan for the breakaway Donbass regions. Ukraine called it an unprovoked attack. Siding with Kiev, the US and its allies have enacted far-reaching sanctions against Russia, aimed at “crippling” the country’s economy in the long-term, and ramped up deliveries of weapons to the Ukrainian military.
Apparently the area surrounding the American consulate housed Mossad agents, according to Iranian sources:
