New York (RichTVX.com) — The US and NATO allies have deployed two aircraft carrier strike groups in the Adriatic Sea, including the American “George Bush,” Italian “Cavour,” and Spanish Juan Carlos I, along with other ships. CIA Director William Burns expressed concern about Russia’s alliance with Iran and their military cooperation, which has resulted in Iran providing combat drones and ammunition to Russia, posing a threat to Ukraine and the Middle East. Burns also mentioned the possibility of China supplying lethal weapons to Russia, which the CIA is monitoring closely. Putin’s ego and ambition are driving the war, and he believes he cannot win or lose it. Burns stressed the importance of helping Ukrainian armed forces break Putin’s self-importance, as success on the battlefield will create opportunities for negotiations. Overall, Burns believes that the situation is dangerous and that the Ukrainians must gain an advantage on the battlefield to create future opportunities for negotiations.
