CIA Director William Burns says it is difficult to determine if Russian President Vladimir Putin is bluffing about his threat to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. But Burns added the U.S. has to take the warnings seriously, Newsmax reports.
Burns made his comments during an interview on “CBS Evening News with Nora O’Donnell.”
He was asked if he saw any signs Russia was intending to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine. “Well, we have to take very seriously his kind of threats given everything that’s at stake,” Burns said. “And, you know, the rhetoric that he and other senior Russian leaders have used is reckless and deeply irresponsible. We don’t see any practical evidence today in the U.S. intelligence community that he’s moving closer to actual use, that there’s an imminent threat of using tactical nuclear weapons. But as I said, we have to take it very seriously.”

When did Putin say he would use nukes only in Ukraine ?
Putin has become a devout follower of the Russian Orthodox church. Note his statement that the USA is a”satanic” force. If his priest (who is nicknamed “Rasputin”) tells him to destroy the satanic USA, Putin is listening. Why did he develop new doomsday weapons? Only as threats? For this end to explode a multi-megaton bomb of the USA coast and create a tidal wave to destroy New York and Washington and more. Did America believe that Japan would attack Pearl Harbour? Did America believe that Bin Laden could destroy the World Trade Center? Sorry to push the alarm button – I hope it is not too late.
