It doesn't matter who COUNTRY1 is. Once they have the information they can sell it for more money to any country/group which are adversaries (who might want to replicate or seek vulnerabilities in the systems) or friendly to the USA and just want to understand the naval capabilities more.
There are lots of interested parties in acquiring sensitive data like this and a 'country' or 'nation' might not even be involved.

- lazide 5y agoThe issue is a bit more complicated in real life. It’s almost impossible to do anything without some kind of trail, as you can see in the indictment. If you’re an intermediary in some way, or even just know about it and then don’t tell the source county, and then the source country finds out? Holy moly the blowback will be incredible. If you were a nominal ally? Even more so! You’ve seen the level of hell leveled against Assange and Snowden, you could expect the same but against the whole country. And you don’t know for sure that the source country doesn’t already know this leak is happening too and it isn’t setup to figure out who their friends are either, because that also happens.
