🇺🇸🇷🇺 The head of the CIA dropped into Moscow with a hard warning for Putin.
John Ratcliffe’s surprise trip this week was to tell Russia straight up: do not attack any NATO country.
According to a Wall Street Journal exclusive, the visit followed fresh U.S. intelligence assessments that Putin could try a limited assault on an ally to test the alliance’s backbone.
Ratcliffe met Russian intel counterparts, not Putin himself.
Trump later called the whole thing semi routine, but flying the CIA director into the Russian capital to deliver that kind of message still feels anything but routine while the war in Ukraine keeps grinding on.
