Fiona Hill knows Putin’s mind perhaps better than anyone outside, or maybe even inside, Russia. She and Clifford G. Gaddy wrote the book on him: Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin (The Brookings Institution, 2013). Maura Reynolds, senior editor of Politico Magazine, interviewed Fiona Hill on 2/28/2022. When Reynolds asked Hill if she thought it possible that Putin would use nukes, she answered “Yes.” The title of Ms. Reynolds’ 2/28/2022 Politico Magazine article and interview is ‘Yes, He Would’: Fiona Hill on Putin and Nukes. In the interview Fiona states that Putin is trying to reestablish not the Soviet Empire, but the old Russian Empire.
