I think you made a jump there. This could equally be one of the other in the Five Eyes group e.g. Canada, Uk, Australia, NZ.

- finiteseries 6y agoDenmark, the Netherlands, France, and Germany are also all well equipped for this sort of thing and are as close of allies as you can get outside Five Eyes (DK/NL especially). The Dutch were the ones who originally warned of interference in the 2016 election IIRC and had access to Cozy Bear for a while before that.
- cycomanic 6y agoWell and for all the "legal oversight" much of the five eyes operations seems to have been designed around economic advantages, circumventing the rules about spying on your own citizens (it's not us who is doing the spying, it's the Australians). So I'm not sure if it being a five eyes operation makes it better or worse.
- joe_the_user 6y agoThere's no "jump". The poster simply raised one hypothetical to consider. "Could be anyone", right?
