As Trump pivots to Russia, allies weigh sharing less intel with U.S.

[berg80]

Some U.S. allies are considering scaling back the intelligence they share with Washington in response to the Trump administration’s conciliatory approach to Russia, five sources with direct knowledge of the discussions told NBC News.

The allies are weighing the move because of concerns about safeguarding foreign assets whose identities could inadvertently be revealed, said the sources, who included two foreign officials.

Every intelligence agency treats its commitments to foreign agents as sacrosanct, pledging to keep agents safe and shield their identities. Anything that jeopardized that obligation would violate that trust, former officials said, and that could lead some spy services to hold back on some information sharing with Washington.

The allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia and members of the so-called Five Eyes spy alliance of English-speaking democracies, are examining how to possibly revise current protocols for sharing intelligence to take the Trump administration’s warming relations with Russia into account, the sources said.

What responsible government would not be reevaluating their intel sharing policy with the US now that we are no longer a trustworthy partner with trump in the Oval. Or for that matter with the people trump chose to lead our national defense agencies. Who could possibly have faith in any of them............besides Russia?

Since our government is now an information pipeline straight to russia/china/northkorea. it would be stupid for them to share anything with us.

 

[Rogue AI]

For what we pay to collect Intel we should have no need of third rate foreign rumors.

So..........you can't make your case and instead inject snark. Well done.

 

[odanny]

For better, or for worse, Europe is now on their own.

They have stood under our umbrella for 80 years and now they are on their own, kicked to the curb by a U.S. government that has become hostile towards democracy, instead preferring authoritarians and oligarchs as partners and allies.

Dismissing the value of intel sharing as part of your defense of all things trump. Brilliant.

Not sure I'd go that far but the US has proven itself to be an unreliable partner since trump seems hellbent to give Putin everything he wants.

The USA has no "conciliatory" approach to Russia nor anyone else, Bunghole.

Those rat bastard republicans.

 

[BackAgain]

Bullshit thread alert.

America is not pivoting toward Russia.
Trump is not pivoting toward Russia.

Retarded OP is retarded.

 

[Blackrook]

Trump wants an end to the war and the bureaucrats are squealing because they want it to continue indefinitely. Who gives a shit?

 

[frigidweirdo]

With the so called allies U R referring to why would America need enemies???

And why is that?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Keep exchanging what intel we and they can, so it can be passed on to Ukraine.

I see Troll Bot Bugger86 is now claiming the EU are about to open a new Intelligence gathering organisation .
What a radical new idea .
Something they should have thought about a few years ago .

All the key intelligence on the planet is already gathered and shared by Mossad , CIA and MI6 -- a lot of it concerning the ineptness of the EU.
The other major network outside of Russia and China is the Five Eyes one , which Germany and France are late arriving and junior members . At best .

Any other Garbage , Troll Bot Bugger 86?
