Former CIA operative Ric Prado broke down what he believes his former colleagues can do to help Ukraine beat back Putin's Russian army
Prado, who has more than 20-years experience in in the Agency, broke down what he believes his former colleagues can do to help Ukraine beat back Putin's Russian army. Many people, like Sen. Graham, have said the best option is getting Putin out of power ... and Prado's all for it too.
But, as he explained Thursday on"TMZ Live" ... killing Putin is easier said than done. For starters, he says Putin is well protected and his inner circle will do anything to keep him alive, because they're as good as dead if he's ever assassinated. Ric also says Russian civilians don't stand a chance against Putin -- they just don't have the weaponry -- but oligarchs have the resources and connections to make Sen. Graham's wish come true.He says the economic sanctions are squeezing the oligarchs ... and he'd like to see one or more of Russia's 100 billionaires put a bounty on Putin's head just to stop their own economic bleeding.
Prado's written a book called"Black Ops: The Life of a CIA Shadow Warrior" ... and says the Agency isn't opposed to getting its hands dirty, but he's not suggesting it get physically involved in removing Putin. Watch the clip, he's making it clear there are other ways.

'Given Putin's track record, given the fact that he's someone who hates to act out of what he believes to be weakness, that he needs to concede or admit mistakes, that's probably a long shot,' Burns said of any chance talks might succeed. Burns also told the Senate Intelligence Committee that Putin, at the same time, is turning Russia into a 'propaganda bubble.'
