Biden made the clear decision that Ukraine shall not be invited to join NATO. The head of the CIA, who is very much Biden's man, called Narsikin and told him we have nothing to do with pyrogym coup. Putin says he will not use nuclear weapons at all unless Russia faces destruction. We are not going to drop a first strike because we are annoyed by this war. So, Putin makes this important signal shutting up extremists in Russia who are not serious but like performers on stage.
US President Joe Biden and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin are ready to do a deal, according to the historian, military strategist and advisor to the US government Edward Luttwak. The comments were made in a discussion this week with UnHerd’s Freddie Sayers, during which Luttwak argued that “a shift in the overall situation” has resulted in both leaders being more willing to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war.
The author, who has worked inside and outside of the Pentagon and the US Department of State for decades, believes that channels between the CIA and the Kremlin are sufficiently open for peace talks to develop. Following the aborted Wagner Group uprising at the end of last month, CIA chief William Burns spoke directly to Sergey Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence service, to reassure him there was no CIA involvement in the rebellion. For Luttwak, this implies “a certain overall attitude and willingness to communicate”, while Naryshkin’s very presence in the Kremlin is further evidence that the war could be coming to an end.
