RT: Kremlin reveals Putin spoke to head of CIA
As well as meeting the secretary of the Russian Security Council and the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, the director of America’s CIA has also had a phone call with President Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin has revealed.

Why is Putin talking to the subordinate of his equal.
I thought subordinates ironed out a big issue or enough issues to make a summit worthwhile and the equals (heads of state) met.
Is Joe Biden not Putin's equal?
Is the US admitting that Burns is Putin's equal, because the US is being run by a clique much as China was by the Gang of Four?
Golden shower together
