Brennan said Putin and other autocrats censor their countries’ media and use mis- and disinformation to "shape" the minds and actions of their citizens, saying he thinks Putin "fears" the truth. He stated that Russian citizens will learn of the true events happening in Ukraine via social media and turn against him.
"This is where Mr. Putin has a vulnerability. Which is why also I think that, what worries me, is that I think Putin doesn’t see any option for him except to double down. He knows he’s not gonna be able to turn back the clock," he told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace. "He’s gonna be held to account for the death and destruction of Ukraine and so, therefore, Putin and his henchman around him believe that the only option they have is to continue with this ferocious intensity in trying to devastate Ukraine."
