Ex CIA Chief Calls Putin ‘A Dead Man Walking’
Former CIA Chief Dubs Vladimir Putin ‘A Dead Man Walking’
Russia’s Vladimir Putin could be eliminated by his own military brass fed up with catastrophic losses in Ukraine, which would finally bring the war to an end, according to an ex-CIA official.
James Olson, a decorated former chief of counterintelligence, labeled Putin a “dead man walking” in a candid exclusive interview with the Sun.
“It is not going well at all. I believe Putin is in a no-win situation now,” the 30-year veteran of the spy agency said. According to Olson, Putin will never agree to withdraw his forces from Ukraine until they assume complete control over the four partially occupied regions that were illegally annexed by Russia in the fall.

“If Putin stays in power, there will be a long war because he will not give up — but I do not think that Putin is going to stay in power,” Olson said. “I believe that he will be removed from power.”
Olson said the 70-year-old Russian leader could either be deposed in an uprising or killed.
“I think Putin will be taken out,” he said. “I would not rule out assassination.”The retired spymaster and author, who serves as professor of international affairs at Texas A&M University, opined that Russia’s military leaders are “disgusted” by the high casualty rate in Ukraine.
Were Putin’s discontented generals to turn on him, Olson said, he would be “a dead man walking.”
