EU intel warns of war with Russia by 2029. Baltic spy chiefs say it could come within months. NATO’s top commander says Europe won’t be ready until 2035.

Hans Petter Midttun argues the deterrent already exists: Ukraine’s army. What’s missing is a declared alliance.

Today on #CNNSitRoom with co-host #CNN’s
#wolfblitzer and colleague #CedricLeighton
discussing Russian intelligence and satellite imagery support that Moscow provided to Iran which was then used to strike U.S. forces and military assets in the region

@cnn.com @wolfblitzercnn.bsky.social #CedricLeighton @barakravid.bsky.social Would want to know why #Israel still has no sanctions on Russia. Israel has put Ukraine in very bad positions by keeping close ties to Russia.

So the White House confirms the US is attacking Venezuela, but #CedricLeighton and #CNN anchor are stating there is no proof the US is behind the attack. Wake up! Truth matters CNN!

@cnn.com #EricaHill, Was a scary phrase from #CedricLeighton saying what #PeteHegseth and #tRUmp wanted to do by using military within the United States as illegal. But #tRump continues to defy US Constitution without punishment over and over again. The system is broken, its crisis after crisis.

@cnn.com #ManuRaju #WolfBlitzer, #CedricLeighton Given same taking points from car salesman,not real evidence.Showing known entrances damaged. One can think #Iran have more than obvious entrances ready to activate on demand. No containment integrity loss was detected from @iaeaorg.bsky.social

@cnn.com #WolfBlitzer #BethSanner #CedricLeighton On over playing hand in WW3.The same problem as tariffs.This is not the question needing answered, Its the people who get played. I was paying around $20 for gas not to long ago,now around $60 for same tank. We the people are in big trouble.

@cnn.com #WolfBlitzer #BethSanner #CedricLeighton On bad behavior this would be an action from US and Israel. Iran had not started any war. Again the bad guys in WW3 is the US & Israel and US have not let up , they are planning to widen WW3 further.

@cnn.com #SaraSidner, #CedricLeighton Issue of #China, #AI and #NVIDIA Is if its AI or basic GPU.AI chips are hard coded with engine,speeds up training,but US AI is inefficient over Chinese,would be poison.Generic GPU's would be key for China to advance their AI.Smaller data centers,resource usage.

@cnn.com #JessicaDean , #CedricLeighton While not for escalation,thought it a good move for #Zelenskyy to pull #tRumps dummy strings for Tomahawks,as #tRump said openly he gave what ever weapons to #Netanyahu for him to win. Well #Ukraine wants to win. But again #tRump cowers to Putin.

@cnn.com ‪@kaitlancollins.bsky.social‬ Totally disagree with #CedricLeighton , #Iran still had full ballistic capabilities. They just shot off 60+ larger rockets,less than 24 hours ago. Not the previous smaller rockets, much much larger and I think #AndersonCooper would agree.
June 24, 2025 at 1:20 AM
@cnn.com #JohnBerman With both #CedricLeighton and #SpiderMarks coming back empty handed over the failed #Fordo nuclear facility attack speaks volumes. This is the Internet age, they should at least have some evidence. But none. #BigBeautifulFailure
June 22, 2025 at 10:36 AM
@cnn.com #AndersonCooper what's crazy,heard entire payload was dropped. From #CedricLeighton said the B2 bay holds two of these bombs. If both bombs were dropped a major part of the blast would have canceled itself out,thus a weaker or even a dude bomb. Do they have any evidence it actually worked?
June 22, 2025 at 1:49 AM
@cnn.com #EricaHill , #CedricLeighton Keeps missing the big question, #Pakistan and #India have said they will be arming #Iran. These are not proxies these are heavily armed nuclear nations.
June 18, 2025 at 4:12 AM
@cnn.com @lauracoates.com #CedricLeighton ,The war with US directly involved, outside of proxies, we have to worry about India & Pakistan with nuclear arms ,who would be against US,would they attack? If so, yes, this would this be #WWIII?
June 18, 2025 at 3:18 AM
@cnn.com @omarjimenez.bsky.social , #CedricLeighton is lying , the #Gaza #genocide was created by #Israel. So far, the count is #Israel is legally far worse than Iran for caring about innocence. Including even in hospitals.
June 16, 2025 at 2:32 AM
@cnn.com #KimBrunhuber, #CedricLeighton Not mentioned, was #Russia took back #Kursk when #Ukraine lost active US Intel. I think #Zelenskyy needs to get @ec.europa.eu to connect them with #OneWeb LEO sat Internet. To act as security link and have 2 sources. EU would offer full access,not limited.
