"Putin's Time-Buying Tactics Exposed: CIA Director Warns of Ultimate Payback"

CIA Director William Burns believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin is currently buying time and assessing how he can still benefit from his alliance with Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Wagner Group. However, Burns warns that Putin is known for seeking revenge and may eventually turn against Prigozhin. Burns describes Putin as the "ultimate apostle of payback" and suggests that Prigozhin should be cautious and watch his back. Prigozhin recently accused Russia's defense ministry of attacking Wagner positions in Ukraine, leading to a failed mutiny and subsequent criminal charges against him. Despite their previous alliance, Putin may eventually try to undermine Prigozhin while preserving what is valuable to him.
