The CIA had cautioned U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken that Ukraine’s current counter-offensive against Russian forces would fail and that Kyiv “will not win the war.”
Blinken “has figured out that the United States — that is, our ally Ukraine — will not win the war” against Russia.
“The word was getting to him through the Agency [CIA] that the Ukrainian offense was not going to work,”
“It was a show by [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky and there were some in the administration who believed his bulls**t.”
