The American spy chief, General James Clapper, who oversaw the CIA, the FBI, the NSA and served as one of President Barack Obama’s top advisers, provided some information on what could be done to determine mental state of the Russian President, Vladimir Putin.
“Putin has been largely isolated, especially in the last two years with the pandemic, and this is exacerbated by the fact that he has very few people who really have access to him – this makes it very difficult to gather information. “So what he does and says in public is studied,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today show.
“Intelligence officers are looking at images and speeches both in terms of content and delivery,” he said.
He added that Putin he has done many things that are not in line with “his traditional, cold, realistic, mechanical behavior.”
Asked if he was reasonable, he replied: “One hopes that if it has to do with a head of state who has his finger on the button for the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, that he is thinking rationally. I think that in many ways, it is very logical … But I know that his behavior has changed in relation to what he was “.
