Ex-CIA: UKRAINE HAS BEEN LYING ALL ALONG!

1. Hi, Ted

   The ex-CIA guy is basically agreeing with everything Macgregor and Ritter are saying.

   I don’t know whose credibility suffers the most from that statement, MacGregor/Ritter or the CIA/KGB. None ot the above are very credible; although with the CIA and KGB, being devious and flat-out lying are in their job descriptions.

   Speaking of credibility, what should one make of the following 2019 photo? (halfway down the page)

   Putin and Xi have identical expressions, and neither is looking the other in the eye. It’s as though Xi is reading his own eyelids, and Putin is reading his own; yet they incline their faces toward each other as though they are communicating. Both seem satisfied with their “conversation”; but I wonder if anything real has been said between them other than their respective preconceived notions. Fast forward three years, and we see them keeping an arm’s length of distance between them: Xi had promised Putin undying friendship, but turned out using him instead like a hydrocarbon prostitute.

   I am definitely not in favor of using wars as a way of dealing with problems; but I must say, wars have a remarkable way of revealing the deep intents of men.

3. The “ex-CIA” guy is saying, on behalf of the “ex-KGB” guy (Putin), that

   “Ukraine is losing, and losing big!”

   Of course, I am not an intelligence “expert”, like those guys who, like William Burns, made sure that our President always got “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth” about what, say, the FBI and CIA were up to; but I have to keep scratching my head to see how Ukraine is “losing big” when

   1. the Russian navy lost its Black Sea flagship to Ukrainian fire,

   2. the main “successes” of the Russian army this past year have been getting chased out of Kyiv, Kharkiv and Kherson,

   3. its call to arms among the Russian populace led to hundreds of thousands of eligible recruits fleeing the country,

   4. it just managed to negotiate its way out of its worst coup since 1993, and has yet to resolve the issue (The coup’s star actor, Prygozhin, now works for the Belarussians)

   5. Russia’s economy is bust, and its Chinese “allies” have been treating it like a big gas station.

   I didn’t mention that half of Russia’s tank force has been lost to a country with only a fraction of its strength, and that half of those lost tanks were captured by the Ukrainians and are being used against them.

   I know that I should ALWAYS trust the CIA and the KGB; but I confess, I have trouble buying all this.
