Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson asserts that Ukraine could not have executed its recent operations without significant involvement from either the CIA or British MI6.
By now, the buzz surrounding Ukraine’s bold drone offensive against Russian airfields, particularly those housing nuclear bombers deep in Siberia, has reached a crescendo. According to the mainstream narrative, this operation was meticulously planned over 18 months and was “personally overseen” by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
But let’s not kid ourselves. A former comedian and dancer like Zelensky, despite his newfound political stature, hardly seems equipped for such a high-stakes military operation.
Mainstream reports claim that this attack decimated 41 aircraft, representing approximately 34 percent of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet. However, other informed voices, including ex-British diplomat Alastair Crook, contend that the actual number of lost bombers may be closer to 7—just 5 percent of the overall fleet. It’s a classic case of media spin: the Western press tends to take information from Kyiv at face value, neglecting to weigh it against Russian accounts.
Regardless of the actual figures—be it 5 percent, 10 percent, or 34 percent—what unfolded in Russia represents a significant propaganda triumph for Ukraine and a substantial intelligence failure for Russia.
Will this shift the tide of the ongoing conflict? Not likely. The momentum has been favoring Russia for quite some time now.
Yet, a critical question looms: how much, if anything, did Washington’s deep state know about this operation?
The official narrative claims President Biden was unaware. However, that does not preclude U.S. government involvement.
As Johnson articulated in an interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano, the U.S. would likely ensure plausible deniability for an operation of this scale, especially one that unfolded 2,700 miles inside Russian territory and far from the frontline.
In a NATO proxy war where Ukraine acts as the vanguard against Russia, it’s implausible that Washington or London weren’t involved in orchestrating an operation as intricate as the recent drone attack, Johnson asserts.
“I guarantee you,” he stated, “At least one, if not more officers within the CIA were aware of this operation, and possibly assisted in its planning and execution.”
When pressed on his certainty regarding CIA, MI6, or even Israeli Mossad involvement, Johnson replied:
“Absolutely. Just consider the logistics. Activating those drones requires external command, which likely involved satellite communication, possibly even through Elon Musk’s Starlink. Reports indicate that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth may have been monitoring the attack in real-time, which implies foreknowledge if true.”
Fast forward to the 5-minute mark in the interview to catch the pertinent parts with Johnson in the video below.
If a seasoned ex-CIA analyst like Johnson is convinced that U.S. intelligence was involved, what does that say about the actual power dynamics within the U.S. government? The president, it seems, is merely a figurehead in this unfolding drama.
Should it turn out that the president was complicit, he risks losing all credibility as a potential peacemaker between Russia and Ukraine. The Kremlin’s response is likely to be severe, leading us closer to the brink of World War III involving not just Russia but potentially China, Iran, and North Korea as well.
As we navigate these turbulent waters, it’s prudent to hope for peace, yet prepare for war. With each passing day, the specter of conflict looms larger, largely driven by the globalist agenda seeking to usher in a digital surveillance state—a transition that may very well echo apocalyptic predictions.
Pray for peace. Prepare for war.
