- Bio Attack, blame it on Russia 2. City Nuked, blame it on Russia 3.? I sure wish someone would tell them "the cover up is always worse than the crime".
U.S. intelligence officials claimed Tuesday that Vladimir Putin is ‘desperate’ to end the conflict over Ukraine, with some privately suggesting he could set off a tactical nuclear weapon in a Ukrainian city to get the job done.
Really? Where is your evidence for these statements? US intelligence claimed Russia, Russia, Russia on Trump. US intelligence allowed the US to be usurped on election day 2020. They aren't lying here to cover their crimes are they?
Heads of the CIA, FBI, NSA, Defense Intelligence Agency and the Director of National Intelligence all spoke at a House Select Committee on Intelligence hearing, and all claimed Putin is frustrated with the slow pace of the invasion.
Putin said it's not an invasion so how could he be disappointed with the pace of an invasion?
The intelligence officials also claimed that up to 4000 Russian troops have been killed in the past two weeks.
Didn't know we had a person on the ground with a counter.
Fuelled by his disappointments, Putin could resort to using a small nuke, they intimated, as insane as that sounds.
Seems the only one evil enough to resort to using a small nuke is our own government controlled by the foreign entity that was placed in office on January 20th 2021. Sum of all Fears?
CIA Director William Burns said Putin has “been stewing in a combustible combination of grievance and ambition for many years,” further noting that Russian military doctrine contains contingencies for using tactical nuclear weapons.
“You know, Russian doctrine holds that you escalate to de-escalate, and so I think the risk would rise, according to the doctrine,” Burns said.
Lieutenant General Scott Berrier, director of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency added that Putin has “invested in tactical nuclear weapons.”
“I also believe that when he says something, we should listen very, very carefully and maybe take him at his word,” Berrier warned.
Avril Haines, the director of National Intelligence, said “Putin’s nuclear saber-rattling” cannot be ignored and that he “is unlikely to be deterred,” by the international response to his invasion “and instead may escalate, essentially doubling down.”
“We assess Putin feels aggrieved the West does not give him proper deference, and perceives this as a war he cannot afford to lose,” Haines further warned, adding that “what he might be willing to accept as a victory may change over time.”
