US Spy Agencies Can’T Get In Putin’S Head, Rogers Says

U.S. intelligence agencies aren’t sure what Russian President Vladimir Putin might do next after he was able to annex Crimea almost without warning, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said.

“Part of the problem has been that it is really difficult with Putin -- he has continued to shrink,” Rogers, a Michigan Republican, said in an interview yesterday for Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt” airing this weekend. “His inner circle has gotten very, very small.”

Added Rogers, “you can’t get in his head.”

If history is a judge, Rogers said of the Russian president, “there’s more that he’s going to do.”

Rogers said Putin may try to create a land bridge from Transnistria in Moldova to Crimea, and may not stop there.
