Ex-CIA officer says Putin is 'completely cornered' and the chances of his using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine are increasing 'by the day'

former CIA officer said Vladimir Putin had been backed into a corner over his war in Ukraine.

Robert Baer told CNN the Russian leader was unlikely to deescalate, given all his setbacks.

Baer also said the chances that Putin might turn to tactical nuclear weapons were increasing.

As military setbacks in Ukraine force Russian President Vladimir Putin into a corner, one former CIA officer argues that the chances he might turn to nuclear weapons are increasing.

"I think the chances of his de-escalating are close to zero," Robert Baer, a former CIA case officer, told CNN on Tuesday, adding that Putin "simply cannot give up so much ground and be seen to be losing and continue as leader of Russia."

"The chances of his using nuclear weapons — at least tactical nuclear weapons — is going up by the day," Baer added, referring to smaller nuclear weapons meant for use on the battlefield.

Yes, and I know an “ex-CIA officer” who would call serious BS named Larry Johnson.

There’s too much money being laundered in the Ukraine, by the Uniparty, for there to be peace anytime soon.

Wasn’t that supposed to happen in the spring, until Boris Johnson stepped in and offered some friendly advice?

https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/05/06/boris-johnson-pressured-zelenskyy-ditch-peace-talks-russia-ukrainian-paper

And why would Zelensky make peace at this point when he has this much, unaccounted for, money rolling in every month...

https://www.nationandstate.com/2022/09/27/zelensky-reveals-how-much-us-taxpayers-give-ukraine-monthly/ .... Washington is providing him with a whopping $1.5 billion per month for state coffers as the country piles up a large war-time deficit.

Just skimming 1% a month is a fat $15,000,000 every month.

A nuclear escalation would kill the money tree stone dead.

Rearming for another 40 year Cold War, on the other hand...

The globalists and WEF - Schwab, Soros - are on the side of Russia here.

Surrender of four provinces, a new Iron Curtain along the border between the Crimean District and Ukraine, Belarus taking the place of East Germany as the leftmost province of the Russian Empire, both sides tooling up. Trillions to be made.

And any “accidents” kill off a million expendables here and there, which is also part of the plan.

What’s not to like?

The real opponents of Globalism are those who say that Ukraine should be independent AND neutral, Russia should be independent and stick to its own borders, and the EU should go back to being a trade bloc not a political project.

There’s no moral difference between the EU political project, the Russian political project, the Chicom political project, and the WEF.

Multipolarism is Globalism. Unipolarity is also Globalism.

You can’t end Globalism with More Globalism.

Meanwhile, still at DEFCON 5, even after multiple direct and public nuclear threats against NATO. https://defconwarningsystem.com/

We were always at DEFCON 4 and at times level 3 when Trump was POTUS, despite Trump not starting any wars.

Yep, and the Russians were shelling themselves in a nuclear facility in Ukraine too. ;-)

LOL, the only 'peace' with Ukraine Putin wants is its complete subjugation.
