CIA director speaks out about Putin's mindset (Russia's Plan B and Desperation)

Russia is having a hard time and they are being stalled in their Plan B pursuits. CIA Director Bill Burns indicates that Russia will become more desperate and more bloody. He also indicates that they are trying to rebuild their great empire. Its deeply embedded into his perception of self and sense of personal values (You can see that in his history of conflict and support within his prior KGB duties.)

Let me say I agree with Bill Burns on this one! Putin in a Cold War guy born and bred and wants to see his country return to its former glory. Ukraine must be a win for him and his country if he has any hope of claiming a level of victory (..at least part of the country that is Russian speaking. 🤷). 

Desperation has set in and soldiers have taking a small back step (based on previous losses) and the use of artillary to obliterate the opposition has increased. With western superior weaponry he may find himself somewhat out ranged (Threatening tactical nukes as an indication of psychological perspective and as a sign of that desperation.). 

That doesn't mean he can't win (time will tell) it just means that he will get more brutal in his approach and he will seek a decisive victory where human life will not be of any real consideration. Its simply a casualty.  

The country will increasingly be run with an iron fist to redraw the Iron Curtain. Ukraine and any nation on the planet should have the right to choose where it seeks to belong without militarized pressure. Freedom also comes with the right to choose. 

It is important for our American politicians to shore up any weaknesses we may have in the U.S. and keep their eyes toward the future where we have a window of opportunity to rejuvenate our nation, its mission, and its opportunities (In case your confused, that means our politicians should put down their petty arguments and focus on something greater than themselves for the benefit of everyone. There is more to patriotism than constant arguments and superficial differences {race, religion, etc..}. Be fearless in supporting core/universal American beliefs that made this nation great. Some are doing the right thing and some are not! 😮💨)
