‘Putin's Days Are Numbered': John Brennan Speculates About The Fall Of Putin In The Near Future
[Daily Caller] Former CIA Director John Brennan speculated about the fall of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the near future during a Thursday appearance on MSNBC.

Brennan said Putin and other autocrats censor their countries’ media and use mis- and disinformation to "shape" the minds and actions of their citizens, saying he thinks Putin "fears" the truth. He stated that Russian citizens will learn of the true events happening in Ukraine via social media and turn against him.

"This is where Mr. Putin has a vulnerability. Which is why also I think that, what worries me, is that I think Putin doesn’t see any option for him except to double down. He knows he’s not gonna be able to turn back the clock," he told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace. "He’s gonna be held to account for the death and destruction of Ukraine and so, therefore, Putin and his henchman around him believe that the only option they have is to continue with this ferocious intensity in trying to devastate Ukraine."

We do not say things that could be construed as death threats to American citizens here. Dislike is fine, but please take it no further.

"Shaping minds and actions"...a topic Brennan is eminently qualified to discuss I am certain.

#9 What Rob C said. If Brennan says Putin's falling, it will never happen.

#12 /\ Brennan attempting to be relevant. His credibility is zero. He's out of the pack, no longer reading traffic (hopefully anyway).

#14 Holy Shit! Is that Amy Klobuchar with McCain and Graham in the video above?

Is that the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion that Graham is telling "Your fight is our fight" and "go on offense"??

Why didn't we know about this? Unreal

#17 Yes that is Senator Klobuchar with Senator McCain and Senator Graham encouraging a Ukrainian battalion to attack Russia. Can't tell whether that is the Azov Battalion though.

#18 In Klobuchar's defense, I doubt she has the capacity to understand what was happening there. And Graham had his nose so far up McCain's ass he probably didn't even know where he was.
