Summary

US allies including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Five Eyes members are considering scaling back intelligence sharing with Washington due to the Trump administration's warming relations with Russia.

Allies fear compromising foreign assets' identities. Sources with direct knowledge confirm "those discussions are already happening," though no decisions have been made.

While the UK, Canada, and Israel publicly affirmed their intelligence partnerships, former US intelligence officials express deep concern about Trump's Russia pivot.

Previous US attempts at intelligence cooperation with Russia historically failed.

Any intelligence agency worth its salt should know by now that any secrets they share with the US will also be shared with Russia. Or anybody who pays a million dollars to go to a party at Mar a Lago so they can flatter Trump in person.

Every world intelligence agency should consider the US to be completely compromised at this point.

They know, believe me, it's their whole job. They had contingency plans good-to-go before the election. We the public are just now hearing this bubble up to the top.

I'm wondering if fake intel has started being passed.

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, I figured they'd already had contingency plans in place in case the US did the dumbest thing possible in the 2024 elections. I mean, last time this traitor was president, he sent lists of the names and locations of US spies to Russia, and then in a completely unrelated series of accidents that followed, several of them died.

I wonder what's going to happen with NORAD?

I don't know how that information is shared, but I would think the US would be more in danger without our RADAR and systems to the north.

They shouldn't share anything with us. He did it last time, and he was already seen bringing boxes of stuff to MaL, where people are paying $5,000,000 to have private meetings with him. There are absolutely people asking for info he has access to, and he will absolutely give it to them.

Is there a better source then a tweet for us agents getting captured and killed more often?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 66 points 10 hours ago

share no intel with us. share only bad intel with us. we're legitimately a threat to the entire world. the only way you convince baddies they're bad is you ostricize them

Pivots to?

From what exactly? It's been common knowledge he's a compromised asset for at least a decade. If there was a pivot, it would mean a moment of non-treason.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

"Pivots US policy to", I guess.

Kick the US out of the Five Eyes. Problem solved.

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

And then, in true American fashion, we can call the member countries in the newly established Four Eyes "nerds, lol" as we continue circling the drain!

Edit: sorry, I might be a bit grumpy this morning, he did a lot of shit over the last few weeks and it's exhausting

EU (Denmark) here, France has independent intelligence from USA, maybe we should work with them more instead?

[–] Cpo@lemm.ee 13 points 8 hours ago

They already offered. France stepping up +💯

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 5 hours ago

more importantly they should verify any intel they receive from the us now.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

I never thought I'd live to see the day America became my biggest enemy.

[–] ReasonableHat@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

In practice there is no way non-US intelligence agencies are sharing intelligence that is critical to their agents' safety or national security with the US. I doubt they ever have shared that intelligence with anyone, save in very discrete circumstances. In public they will continue to pretend that they're sharing, as they have always done.
