Another headl;ine grabber or a new non-news story by WaPo and CNN … damn what a fool’s explote. Such embarrassment across the globe …
The Intelligence Community is very upset with President Trump … geez, which part of Washington DC is represented by the principles of democracy? Excuse me? Is the CIA fighting for human rights, moral values and democracy? Wow, wow … that’s truly exceptional and good news.
○ Statement by NSC’s McMaster: WaPo report is false
○ Statement by Tillerson
Another fake news story brought you by US MSM …
The Washington Post reported that President Donald Trump divulged highly classified information during his meeting with Russian officials last week.
Officials told the Post that the information was incredibly sensitive and that its exposure endangers the relationship with an ally, which had not approved sharing the information with Russia. This ally, officials told the Post, “has access to the inner workings of the Islamic State.”
BuzzFeed, The New York Times and Reuters later confirmed the Post’s report.
White House officials pushed back, saying Trump didn’t discuss intelligence sources or methods of collection. But the reports said Trump disclosed highly classified information, not sources or intelligence collection methods.
Dina Powell, deputy national security advisor for strategy, called the reports false, saying “The president only discussed the common threats that both countries faced.”
Hey we are at war with the Russians over Crimea, so we cannot be allies with the Russians to fight terror and the Islamic State. The White House is ignorant on issues of foreign policy, leave it to us at Langley, Va. We and Clapper know best what is good for all Americans. We stand for universal rights!
Clapper never lies!
So we’ve got BuzzFeed again, GCHQ and former British spooks in conjunction with the Clinton gang. Very, very reliable … just as the Sicilian mafia.
MAKE WAR – NOT PEACE!
[Update] OK … a follow-up diary then …
Are you going to have a tantrum aimed at all of your enemies every time Trump does something stupid? Think of your health, man.
WHUT?
A little мир и дружба between Comrades gets reported as leaking classified intel. Just hate when that happens. And the story of how they sang the words to “The Internationale” afterwards is totally ignored. Unforgivable.
More charges from anonymous “officials”.
What I gather from the “news” this morning is that Trump revealed some data about a news ISIS bomb and Russia will immediately feed this information to all Muslim terrorists because … I dunno. International Communist Conspiracy?
One report said no sources or methods were revealed. The same report was indignant that Trump shared this info with Russia and not NATO. Duh! The NATO countries are Muslim sympathizers. The EU is cracking up because the EU wants to admit tens of thousands more Muslims to the EU countries. Russia is the only major country that is not in sympathy with Muslim terrorists.
Wow… just fucking wow…
Nice religious bigotry there Voice and Oui with your 4 to say this comment of blatant ISIS=Muslim false equivalency.
Of course you refused to comment on the part where Trump confirmed he did in fact toss out the Code Word Clearance intel that was given to us explicitly on the condition that we not tell anyone else about the specifics that were given. So now it is highly likely that this source is just not going to cooperate with us anymore. Can’t let that little detail get in the way of calling everyone opposed to Trump names though.
But hey not like you two have ever let a little thing like logic and facts get in the way of your party line before, so why start now!
Must agree with Beahmont on this one. Haste can’t be an excuse, must choose your words more deliberately. Fighting terror is of all ages and has been abused for oppression by dictators. This is happening today across the globe. In Europe there is the populist minority movement with xenophobia and differs for each nation in the EU.
The jihadists do travel the globe and have done so for decades and seems to be unstoppable.
Oui, I will answer you when I am sufficiently calm.
I won’t answer the troll.
(and counting).
Calming yourself from outrage (or whatever) elicited by a completely valid and merited response.
What could be less surprising?
“Troll” does not mean what you think (or pretend to) it means.
You know, one of their strongest allies in the region. Given that Israel views Iran as their biggest enemy in the region, Trump blabbing information that could have very well outed one of their operatives to Iran was a huge ass blunder.
It is a strong possibility Israel (an other allies) will be less forthcoming with their intelligence going forward which in turn will make us less safe.
○ Israel – Russian Relations after ‘Leak’
You should really stop assuming where people get their news sources. You should also stop assuming that those of use who disagree with aren’t thinking for ourselves.
For the record I think it is just bad business to burn an allies intelligence sources even if that ally has cordial relations with the party the source was burned to. The politicians of course are going to keep things cordial but I think it is more than safe to say that the actual intelligence practitioners are going to be more circumspect in sharing info with us given Trump’s inability to keep his mouth shut.
By the way here is what
Oui, you have taken to declaring as “fake news” anything that goes against your ideological stance.
