I don’t care about CNN... Petraeus is privy to far more information and can draw from vastly deeper experience and knowledge than virtually anyone else. He sees the situation getting more dire for Putin and his flailing military. It’s not going to end well for them.
He didn’t draw much on “vastly deeper experience and knowledge” when he violated security protocol\policies to keep an extensive communication going with his “honey bunny” Paula. (Whatever happened to “infidelity” being a court martial offense? I guess for some it is! Probably too common to enforce anymore!) Apparently, the war didn’t keep him busy. Remember she was to write his biography! WTF!! Future historians not good enough?
He’s “surfaced “ in the media recently to let DNC power brokers know he’s available to run for president.
I worked with senior officers that knew him as far back as the academy. The stories about him are NOT inspiring!
