Donald Trump to 'greenlight' Putin's destruction of Ukraine, ex-CIA chief claims

[Daily Express US] Former CIA director John Brennan says he is "worried" about a possible second Donald Trump presidency - and fears it could spell disaster for Europe.

A second Donald Trump presidency poses a risk to Ukraine in their fight against Russia, according to a former director of the CIA.

John Brennan, who served as head of the intelligence service until 2017, says he is "worried" about poll data indicating a tight race between Trump and Democrat rival Joe Biden.

Recalling a meeting with the Republican during his last term, Brennan said he felt Trump "wasn't quailfied then and isn't qualified now." He highlights NATO and the US relationship with foreign allies as an area that could suffer.

Prominent GOP members have called for a re-assessment of funding to Ukraine as Washington has already supplied around $75 billion.

And the former spy chief told France's RTBF he fears Trump could cut funding altogether.

#2 Ukraine was used as a hammer on Trump. I don't see any reason at all he should have any love for it.

#3 Trump should threaten to drop Vindman on Moscow if the Russians don't pull back.

#4 I recall a new conference with Xi, Putin, and Trump where a reporter asked what Trump would do if Putin invaded the Ukraine. Trump said he'd nuke Moscow. Isn't Brennan one of the 51 signatures on that lie that the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation?

#9 Whatever Trump may have said to Putin, he did not say it as he was preparing his own invasion of Ukraine while using Zelensky's request to join NATO as a pretext.

#10 If Russians wanted destroy Ukraine, there would not be an Ukraine. However, Russians are bound by a sentiment "Yes, he's a retard with tendency for psychotic violence - but he IS my brother.".

#11 Sentimental, the Bear intervenes
In his brothers' affairs, yes, and cleans
Up their messes! Not war,
This commitment -- har har --
But psychiatry... by other means.
