Ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson says Ukraine could not have carried this out alone, and that the operation bears the fingerprints of the CIA and/or British MI6.
By now, you’ve all heard about Ukraine’s massive assault using killer drones that attacked Russian airfields housing the nuclear bomber fleet in Siberia, as well as several other locations deep within Russia’s heartland.
The mainstream narrative is that the operation took over 18 months to plan and execute, and was ‘personally overseen’ by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. However, it is hard to believe that Zelensky, a former homo-erotic dancer and actor, was prepared for this attack.
The attack, according to mainstream reports, took out 41 aircraft or roughly 34 percent of Russia’s fleet of strategic bombers.
However, other knowledgeable sources, such as former British diplomat Alastair Crook, estimate the number of lost Russian bombers to be closer to 7, or roughly 5 percent of the country’s overall fleet. Western media tend to take information from Kiev at face value rather than question it or compare it with reports from Russian media.
Regardless of whether it was 5 percent, 10 percent, or 34 percent, what happened Sunday in Russia was a major propaganda victory for Ukraine and an embarrassing intelligence failure for Russia.
Will it change the trajectory of the war between Russia and Ukraine? Absolutely not — that trajectory has been moving in Russia’s favor for months.
One big unanswered question is how much, if anything, was known about this attack within the bowels of the Washington Deep State.
Did the president himself know about it? Most likely not. However, that doesn’t mean the U.S. government wasn’t involved.
As former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said Monday in an interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano, the U.S. government would likely strive to provide the president with plausible deniability for an operation that took place some 2,700 miles inside Russia, far from the frontlines of the ongoing war.
In a NATO proxy war against Russia, with Ukraine serving as the proxy, someone in Washington and/or London had to have been involved in an operation as sophisticated and strategic as the one that took place in Russia on Sunday, Johnson said.
“I guarantee you,” he said. “At least one, if not more officers, within the Central Intelligence Agency knew about this and may have even been involved with the planning for it and the operation of it.”
When pressed by Napolitano on how confident he was that the CIA, MI6, or perhaps the Israeli Mossad were involved in an operation of this scale, Johnson responded:
“100 percent. Just the operations of initiating, of turning the drones on. Think of the process. You’ve got them hidden under this roof, so the roof has to open up. That requires an external command. The reports are they were using the Russian phone network. Maybe? But I think Starlink, Elon Musk’s operation, was involved with this as well. You can’t rule out satellite communications as a source of overhead imagery. Hey, it was reported, and I see no confirmation of it, that (U.S. Defense Secretary) Pete Hegseth was watching the attack in real time. Which means (if true), he absolutely knew it was coming on.”
