Why terrifying? If the US isn't sharing directly, US allies don't get to be the back door for the same US intel to get somewhere.

Why terrifying? If the US isn't sharing directly, US allies don't get to be the back door for the same US intel to get somewhere.
- thebruce87m 2y agoFor a start it shows that the intel is still happening, so it’s not a cost-cutting exercise, it’s a choice to not share when they could. Why would you blind Ukraine, one of your allies to the advantage of your enemy? Next, your other allies may be getting matching data from other sources so it puts them in a position of running foul of the ban in the eyes of the US when they didn’t. We’ve seen how this administration treats its allies, and how trump reacts when he thinks he’s been slighted. The situation is precarious to say the least.
