WNU Editor: Looking at his background and experience. His fluency in Russian. One can say that his appointment is all about facing Russia. At least that is how the Russian media is seeing it .... William Burns, ex-envoy to Russia who accused Putin of using judo-like tactics to ‘sow chaos’ in US, named as Biden’s CIA director (RT). If I had a choice. I would pick someone more focused on China. They are quickly becoming the dominant power in the world. Not Russia.
William Burns is also a critic of President Trump's Iran policy .... William Burns, Joe Biden's CIA Pick, Condemned Donald Trump's 'Aggressive' Iran Policy (Newsweek). This is not a good sign for American allies in the Middle East.
When I look at his resume, he is as Washington establishment as you can get (see below).
A prediction. Because of his Washington establishment credential, he will be confirmed with over 90 Senate votes.
This must also be a huge disappointment for Current CIA director Gina Haspel. Until last month she was operating under the assumption that her job was secured.

She carried water and they passed her over. There are only so many chairs on the Titanic.
