EXCERPT:
BRENNAN: “So therefore this is where I think Mr. Putin has a vulnerability, which is why also I think that — what worries me is that I think Putin doesn’t see any option for him except to double down. He knows he's not going to be able to turn back the clock, he's going to be held to account for the death and destruction of Ukraine. And so, therefore, Putin and his henchmen that are around him, I think they believe that the only option they have is to continue with this ferocious intensity and trying to devastate Ukraine. But I think, as Ambassador Soderberg said, this is only going to lead to I think Putin’s unraveling in terms of his position in the Russian government. Now, what'd going to be the trip wire in terms of pressure on oligarchs and pressure on the Russian people and commodities and other types of things, it's unclear, but I do believe that Putin’s days are numbered and maybe in the double digits.”
