CIA Director William Burns recently traveled to Ukraine and met with President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukrainian intelligence officials, according to a US official.

“Director Burns recently traveled to Ukraine, as he has done regularly since the beginning of Russia’s recent aggression more than a year ago,” the official told CNN. “As with other trips, the director met with his Ukrainian intelligence counterparts and President Zelensky, reaffirming the US commitment to sharing intelligence to help Ukraine defend against Russian aggression.”

The official noted that Burns traveled to Kyiv before Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin’s rebellion, which was not a topic of discussion.

Another official told CNN that Burns also spoke to his Russian counterpart, Sergey Naryshkin, after the rebellion and reiterated that the US had nothing to do with it.

Likely helping Ukraine set up their nuclear false flag. Pretty much standard Neocon operating procedure when it’s time for the US start bombing a country.

I am sure the Russians knew the CIA director was there and they knew exactly where the meeting was and the time of the meeting. But they did not drop a missile on him.

Interesting.

Setting up the “Lusitania Moment” to blame Russia so as to bring in US Marines and Air Force and Poles, Romanians and Germans. They should be able to push Ruzzian Orks out of all Ukraine in a week—two at the most. When the Ruzzians see an American flag they will poop their pants and run—if not outright surrender to any Pole or Romanian they meet. It will see the “event” happen in late July. The “Day of Infamy” speech to Congress by Biden and declaration of war against Russia by mid August. Freedom Marches and surge in enlistment in September. Advance of the Nato Troops (really USA) and the total Victory by Christmas! Then China enters the fray—on Putin’s side. Then things get really interesting.

As many as the cargo plane could hold before the weight blew the tires.
