Yep, we're no longer an ally. We're just a transactional trading partner. We're the 7-11 convenience store of the world. That's it. Here's your receipt for the candy bar, sir. Now **** off.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.

As Trump pivots to Russia, allies weigh sharing less intel with U.S.
Members of the so-called Five Eyes spy alliance, as well as Israeli and Saudi officials, fear the identities of foreign assets could inadvertently be shared with Moscow.www.nbcnews.com
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?
And this is just the beginning. Do you think Hegseth's top people are going to trust him with everything? Will Gabbard's top people trust her with everything?
Nope. Of course not.
Those staffers are in impossible situations. They have to decide whether they have to protect their careers or put their country at risk.
