William Joseph Burns: Now I should crack Putin for Biden – opinion

Is Putin serious? How does he really think? CIA chief William Joseph Burns currently has one task above all else: assess how the Russian president will act. Who is the man and what is the conclusion of him?

One question to which the world now seeks an answer with great urgency is this: What is Vladimir Putin thinking? The Russian president has launched a war that could end in a nuclear exchange with the West. He is bombing hospitals. He delivers martial speeches filled with twisted historical arguments. If you take them seriously, Russia would not only have claims on Ukraine, but also on Finland or the Baltic States.
