With 35 years working in one of the world’s top security positions, Ralph Goff has shared his opinion on how tensions could end<\/h2>\n

A former CIA boss has provided his expert opinion on how tensions between Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump could end.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For 35 years, Ralph Goff worked for the CIA – donning the role of chief of operations for\u00a0Europe<\/a>\u00a0and Eurasia for a number of years before retirement.<\/p>\n

Now, the 72-year-old has given his terrifying prediction of what could come to fruition between\u00a0Russia<\/a>\u00a0and US, as the 79-year-old POTUS revealed that he\u00a0ordered two nuclear submarines<\/a>\u00a0to be positioned ‘in the appropriate regions’ after a Russian official threatened the America with war.<\/p>\n

Goff believes Putin must stay on high alert if he wishes to continue on as the president.<\/p>\n

“It’s similar to the Italian mafia organised crime in the\u00a0United States<\/a>\u00a0– where if the head was judged bad for business, then the they would get together and take him out,” he\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0The Sun.<\/p>\n

“So Putin’s got to watch out. He’s got to watch the economy.<\/p>\n

“He’s got to watch the loyalty of the oligarchs.”<\/p>\n

However, he noted that he is ‘still popular’ among his wealthy friends, but that the result of waging war with\u00a0Ukraine<\/a>\u00a0has had its effects on Russia.<\/p>\n

“It’s a huge scale of devastation and loss. And that can undermine just about anybody,” Goff added.<\/p>\n

He continued: “Putin may have the same fate as Bashar al-Assad who fell suddenly without warning.<\/p>\n

“I think this is one of the more likely outcomes for Putin – a threat that he doesn’t even see coming, comes out of nowhere, and he’s gone.”<\/p>\n

So while his country is at war in Ukraine and tensions between him and the US rise, Goff believes the real concern is being overthrown domestically – like how former Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was in 2024, having taken control of the country in 2000.<\/p>\n

But then there’s the widespread rumors about the 72-year-old Russian, relating to his\u00a0health<\/a>\u00a0– with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claiming earlier this year that his foe will ‘die soon’.<\/p>\n

There’s countless rumors suggesting Putin has fallen ill and is battling cancer, or Parkinson’s, and Goff thinks there could be something in this.<\/p>\n

“Putin is a guy who’s afraid of Covid, afraid of being sick,” he explained. “His personal health and wellbeing are his top concern.”<\/p>\n

So, it would make sense for him to avoid illness if his health was declining… although that being said, I think everyone would whether they’re healthy or not!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
