Speaking about President Putin, the head of the US intelligence agency said he was “sunk in resentment, ambition and insecurity.”
CIA Director William Burns said there are four major “challenges that will“ shape the future order of the world ”, noting that the only and major geopolitical challenge for the United States in the current century is China, according to Western media.
It is noteworthy that Russia is not listed among the long-term challenges. And about Russian President Vladimir Putin, Burns said he was “overwhelmed with resentment, ambition and insecurity.”
“Four major challenges are shaping our future and future world order. The first is the immediate threat posed by another Russian aggression against Ukraine. The second is the long -term challenge posed by the ambitions of the Chinese leadership. In my opinion, this is the most important geopolitical challenge of the 21st century, ”Burns said.
Two other important challenges, according to the CIA director, are the enormous impact of technological change and the formation of a workforce that will be based on the diversity of American society.
It will be recalled that in the Pentagon’s defense strategy for 2022, China and Russia were named major threats to the United States.
