After the CIA boss's dash to Moscow my Sunday Times column this week asks whether the threat of escalation by Putin is serious and whether a visit like that can make a difference (£) www.thetimes.com/world/russia...

thetimes.comIs Russia going to launch an attack on Nato?CIA director John Ratcliffe’s visit to Moscow was meant to act as a warning to Putin, but was it enough to deter him from another invasion or acts of sabotage?

While I agree it is a thoughtful and sober assessment, I remain skeptical that such a warning could really be effective if Putin thinks all he has to do is speak to Trump on the phone and promise him he had nothing to do with any incursion or incident. And Putin has reason to think that way.
