Former CIA Chief Warns Putin's Life in Danger

Former CIA counterintelligence chief, James Olson, believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin could be killed or ousted from his position due to the strong undercurrent of opposition to him in the military and among oligarchs, as well as the huge loss of life suffered by Russia's troops in the Ukraine war. Olson believes that Putin's generals are "disgusted" by the futility and carnage of the fighting in Ukraine and could be the source of an uprising against him. He concludes that if Putin were to be ousted from power, that would end the war, and Russia would have a "bright future" without him.
