What we should make of CIA boss's secret trip to Moscow
President Donald Trump said John Ratcliffe's trip to Russia was a "semi-routine" visit but there is nothing routine about the CIA chief making a secret, 10,000-mile return dash to Moscow.
Ratcliffe met Russian intelligence officials on Tuesday – notably his opposite number in Russia's overseas spy agency, Sergei Naryshkin – after arriving unannounced on a US military plane, the Kremlin confirmed.
It's been nearly five years since his predecessor William Burns made this trip and that was at a similarly tense time, just as Russia was drawing up plans to invade Ukraine. So, this is probably serious.
In the absence of any official US comment on the reason for the mission, it is being widely reported Ratcliffe's trip was to warn Moscow not to escalate in relation to the stalemate in Ukraine – possibly by taking action against Nato members.
