@dailymailpolitics: CIA director John Ratcliffe has made a surprise trip to Moscow, it was reported on Tuesday, after an American jet landing sparked frenzied speculation. The CIA and the Kremlin declined to comment on the visit, which appears to be his first to Russia as head of the spy agency. It emerged after flight-tracking data revealed a US Air Force Boeing C-17A Globemaster III transport plane touched down at Vnukovo International Airport. The jet left Riga, Latvia, at around 8.50am Moscow time (1.50am ET, 6.50am BST) and landed just outside the Russian capital approximately 74 minutes later. The flight's arrival was highly unusual given the current tensions between Washington and Moscow. It also comes at a particularly fraught moment on NATO's eastern frontier, with Russian missiles and drones repeatedly testing Poland's air defenses. #news #politics #cia #moscow #russia

Do you really think Poland with a modern Air Force and Army is afraid of a Russia that is down 750000 men fighting Ukraine with 500000 more less qualified men in the War Zone? They would take that fight all day long if it came to them.

Trying to get the Russians to agree to an Ukraine deal, but the deal is a sucker’s scam. Russia said kick rocks. Also US wants Russia to stop trading with Iran via the Caspian Sea. Since that body of water is land locked the US military cannot stop such trade with risking a full blown nuclear ☢️exchange
