Geopolitical Tensions and Historical Echoes of Loyalty

How did western intelligence services learn of Putin's plan to invade Ukraine?

2021 is drawing to a close and the CIA is becoming increasingly concerned that Putin is going to invade Ukraine. He's made it clear he sees it as part of Russia and so Bill Burns, CIA director, is going to be sent out to Moscow in a desperate attempt to dissuade him.

Listen as Gordon and David break down the run up to the war and CIA attempts to stop it.
