Ray McGovern: Inside the CIA’s Moscow Meeting
Summary
Veteran intelligence officer Nima and host Ray discuss the strategic implications of CIA Director Ratcliffe’s visit to Russia, arguing that the trip signals Trump’s desperation rather than a genuine diplomatic breakthrough. They contend that the "deep state" and media have misled the US by falsely claiming Russia is losing in Ukraine, while ignoring the reality of Russian battlefield gains and economic resilience. The conversation also covers the collapse of NATO cohesion, the risks of nuclear escalation in the Middle East, and the shifting global power balance toward the East.
