The RWN on Ukraine invasion, Ames mentions that the latest head of CIA, appointed 2021, is [Bill Burns](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J.Burns(diplomat), who was the diplomat to Russia under Bush II, and according to Ames was actually pretty decent at reading/understanding Russia (according to Ames, again)
I saw this article, then heard him say this, and was reminded of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was literal CIA intent to provoke visible Russian military involvement (and not in a vaguely antagonistic sense where the US constantly pisses nations off; specific shit designed to go above and beyond)
