Morch Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 43 minutes ago, heybruce said: I don't think intelligence sharing with allies will end, but this is the sort of thing that puts a strain on it. One can only speculate on how our allies will respond, but I'm sure there will be a response. Speculate away - what does a response that doesn't end or severely curtail cooperation amounts to? The bottom line is that even if there is one, it would not be made publicly, so nothing stopping unfounded speculation as to unspecified "response". The point is that in order to criticize Trump's action and decision making, there doesn't need to be any overt response from whichever ally who supplied the information. Whether or not this happens does not change the fact that trust was breached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information is still highly classified to this day - Trump never declassified it, which he had the authority to do. Instead he simply relayed some of the information to Russian government officials, and that is where he may well have stepped over the line into illegal behavior.

Godolphin Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 You may ask. No, I am not a mental health professional but I am a person who doesn't swallow the drivel of a politician who lurches from one disaster to another, who actually talks about locking up journalists, who insults America's allies and at the same time seems in awe of Russian and other authoritarian dictators, who stacks his cabinet with billionaires (some of them the very people who caused the melt-down of 2080) after promising to "drain the swamp." A man who fires his CIA director who was investigating his and his allies' links to direct Russian interference in US affairs and then ingratiates himself with those very Russians and denies links with them, links which stand out like dogs' balls. A self-absorbed man who is obsessed with his image and is hyper-sensitive to any criticism. In my opinion, a very disturbed individual. No, I'm not a mental health professional, but, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, "You don't need a weatherman to tell which way the winds blows." And a question to you, if you don't mind: Is there nothing about Trump that worries or concerns you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotin Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The rush to judgement is the chickens coming home to roost though. The Tweets. The off the cuff remarks and lack of finesse. Trump has laid the ground work for this climate, no use whining about the unfair coverage, gossip and leaks, and lack of cooperation. It's one thing to be a maverick and punch the establishment and system in the face, but this cat has shot himself in the foot over and over again and the MSM is doing a dog pile.

If the President chooses to divulge it to someone who doesn't have sufficient clearance, it's his choice. He could divulge any classified info he chooses to and it automatically becomes declassified. That doesn't mean it's not massively stupid and not impeachment worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opl Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) In the daily Yedioth Ahronoth, an anonymous source warned : "We're going to have to reassess what kind of information we're giving to the Americans," . They are our closest allies and we share with them a lot of super-classified information. As long as this channel is not fully secured, we do not have to pass our nuggets there. " According to specialist journalist Ronen Bergman, some US intelligence officials have recently warned their Israeli counterparts about the supposed links of the new president with Russia. They would even have asked them to protect themselves against possible dissemination of sensitive information. A perspective deemed even more troubling by the Israelis that Moscow recently strengthened its cooperation with Iran in the context of the war in Syria. http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/1.764711 http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/interrogation/2017/05/how_israelis_will_respond_to_the_trump_leak.html Danny Yatom : Maybe Flynn was sacrificed to protect Trump http://www.pressreader.com/israel/jerusalem-post/20170219/281560880555509 Edited May 17, 2017 by Opl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
