The CIA’s "Secret" Moscow Trip & Putin’s Growing Problems | EYES ON GEOPOLITICS

Show by dee takos
In this episode, we break down CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s surprise trip to Moscow, what it may signal about U.S. concerns over Russian escalation, and Estonia’s warning that Putin is increasingly boxed into “only bad options.” We also look at the growing economic pressure inside Iran, divisions within the regime, and whether the U.S. has a coherent strategy for turning military, economic, intelligence, and covert pressure into actual political results.Support the show on Patreon:⬇️https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouseJack's news outlet:⬇️https://thehighside.substack.com/Find Jon Hackett here:⬇️Jon's Twitter:https://x.com/jonathanhackettJon's LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejonathanhackettJon's books:https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0C5L659N5?ccs_id=e11a2062-f8d3-498e-bfd7-7d2f3869caf6Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejonathanhackettTwitter: https://x.com/jonathanhackettCheck out Mick's new podcast here:⬇️Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/pub-and-porch-applied-stoicism/id1836955475Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1k3QPmkAMwnGJxMLDwUSSd?si=n6piIu8XRcag1Z0K43A3bQYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@UCd0Hq6QFk8CoTu5j-VU0Ong Find Mick Mulroy here: Fogbow ⬇️https://fogbow.com/Lobo Institute ⬇️https://www.loboinstitute.org/Twitter ⬇️https://x.com/mickmulroy?s=21&t=-Ze3F_Ix2vlJ18KFvORTCALinkedIn ⬇️https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-patrick-mulroy-31198b52/Whitefish security summit ⬇️https://whitefishsecuritysummit.comFind Marc P here:https://x.com/MpolymerFind Andy Milburn here: Twitter ⬇️https://twitter.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login=%2Fandymilburn8LinkedIn ⬇️https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewmilburn2023Substack ⬇️https://amilburn.substack.com/Andy’s book ⬇️https://www.amazon.com/When-Tempest-Gathers-Mogadishu-Operations"Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio"00:00 – Start01:59 – Why Did CIA Director John Ratcliffe Go to Moscow?05:17 – Was Ratcliffe Warning Russia About NATO?08:33 – U.S. Intelligence, Strategic Surprise & Defending Europe11:04 – Can the U.S. Defend NATO While Fighting Iran?14:00 – Russian Sabotage Operations Across Europe16:19 – Ratcliffe’s Meetings With the FSB & SVR Chiefs22:23 – GRU Operations, Assassinations & Sabotage in Europe26:07 – Estonia’s Intel Chief Warns Putin Has “Only Bad Options”29:59 – Could Russia Face an Elite Revolt Against Putin?34:11 – Russia’s Casualties, Oligarchs & the Risk of Mobilization38:31 – Is Estonia Sending a Message to Russia’s Elite?41:44 – Six Months Into the Iran War & “Economic D-Day”44:46 – Divisions Inside Iran Over Ending the War48:03 – How Long Can Iran Survive the Economic Pressure?49:03 – Should the U.S. Be Arming Opposition Groups Inside Iran?53:36 – Why the U.S. Iran Strategy Still Lacks a Coherent Campaign56:51 – Andy Milburn’s Upcoming Gaza War Book58:18 – Jonathan Hackett’s Books & Upcoming Audiobook59:27 – Upcoming Fiction Book & Closing RemarksBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.
