Israel Alters Intelligence Sharing with US
« on: May 24, 2017, 08:56:34 pm »
Israel says it has changed its intelligence-sharing protocols with the United States after President Donald Trump disclosed classified information to Russian diplomats earlier this month that had come from Israel, even though Tel Aviv had not assented to his handing it to another country.

Israeli defense chief Avigdor Liberman told Army Radio on Wednesday, “I can confirm that we did a spot repair and that there’s unprecedented intelligence cooperation with the United States."

He added, "What we had to clarify with our friends in the United States, we did. We did our checks.”

Liberman declined to say what changes had been made. "Not everything needs to be discussed in the media; some things need to be talked about in closed rooms," he said.

   And it seems now the Brits are pissed at us, 2 very important Allies we cannot live without, pi$$ed on again, reminds me of the last guy.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

It IS the last guy and his department heads.  We will be years rooting out all the problems they created if we ever do!

Media too - pass them a significant chunk of the blame. Hell, they've got ex SpecOps talking publicly now.  :shrug:

Could be a ploy vs. ISIS, making them think Israeli intelligence is in their ranks, wouldn't that play with their heads.

The leaks, if they are such, are not coming the WH ... but from US law enforcement.

Please, get control of your knee jerks.

Get a hold of your own. No one is saying that, on either thread. Try reading instead of fluffing.

It doesn't make a damned bit of difference who here leaked the information! The Brits and the Israeli's are perfectly justified in taking the actions they have!
