Why is the CIA leaking this now? The only way the Russians would use nukes, as they have repeatedly assured the West, would be in response to a successful NATO commitment on the ground in Ukraine that they could not deal with successfully with conventional forces. I must admit I have had fears of a catastrophically stupid NATO Inchon invasion of Crimea. Good God in Heaven, let this be only the feverish deliriums of a terrified man.

They need to give Putin ideas for how to keep things destablized!

if’n they did ....which direction would that nuclear footprint go? towards Europe? towards Moscow?
I was once told it would follow ‘magnetic north’ but since that has been floating about, where?

Nuland-Sullivan-Gates-Soros wet dream. Remember, they want to cull half the world population.

Glenn Beck was talking about this. From what I gathered Biden wasn’t supposed to be telling people about this because it came from a classified briefing.

I tuned in to the show in the middle of him talking about it so I didn’t catch the entire story.

In 2022, the CIA warned President Biden of a 50% change or higher that Russia would reach for its nuclear arsenal.

The boys at Langley are still sharps as bowling balls. A 50% assessment is like saying we have no idea, they may or may not go nuclear.

That's some top shelf actionable intel right there.

“...Why is the CIA leaking this now?...”

Whatever the reason, knowing the modern CIA, we can be assured it a political statement to further some Biden administration position.

The CIA no longer serves the USA but serves the Clinton/Obama/Biden syndicate.

Yes it is a meaningless assessment meaning “either they will or they won’t”. Of course, they’re busy concentrating on school board meetings and Catholic Churches with Latin masses.

Obviously the CIA is having difficulty making Putin and associated Russian Federation Officials Angry.

The last ones to do that were the Chechens, and look at them now.

Prevailing winds are towards the Northeast but day to day can be very different.

The plume from Chernobyl went Northwest toward Sweden

But all the neocons here repeatedly assure us Russia would never, ever use nukes in Ukraine.

Does anyone trust the CIA to tell the truth anymore?
