I wonder if Western intelligence agencies had already identified these 300 agents and is unhappy with Bellingcat for blowing their identities in public. Russia is always going to have spies. This will just cause them to hire and train new ones that are harder to track.
- dogma1138 8y agoThe other side of the coin is that this will burn operations that were years in development and possibly bring to question all intelligence gathered by these agents without multiple confirming sources. This can set back Russian operations for years and will cost them millions. So it’s quite possibly that western intelligence agencies tipped them about the database in the first place after they leveraged it to its maximum useful potential. The CIA nor the FBI will never come and publicly burn 300 potential spies however using the media to do so is definitely in their game book.
