Here are the 7 biggest revelations from the US Intelligence leaks so far
2023-04-13
[The Hill] The biggest leak of classified documents in a decade created a sprawling crisis in Washington this week as records detail alleged U.S. spying on allies, insights into American thinking on the war in Ukraine and at least two neutral countries mulling plans to support Russia.

Pentagon officials are still reviewing the documents for validity and the Justice Department is overseeing a criminal investigation of the leak.

At least one of the documents containing casualty estimates appears to have been altered, but it’s unclear how many of the roughly 100 leaked records were manipulated.

The documents have circulated online since March and possibly as early as January before picking up attention last week after a New York Times report.

BLUF:

  • Ukraine air defense systems in peril
  • Pentagon casts doubt on Ukraine’s spring counteroffensive
  • US intel on Russia could now be compromised
  • Israeli spy agency supported domestic protests
  • South Korea was concerned about supplying munitions to US
  • Egypt secretly planned to supply Russia with rockets
  • UAE agreed to work with Russian spy agents against US, UK

    #9  You know.

    Even if I thought this legit, I'm not sure how much I would trust the report to be accurate anyways.

    #7  ^^^ Or wonder who is being set up.

    Is this a great opportunity for a "friend" to settle old grudges?

    #4  Yeah these are the same guys that completely missed the lack of pallets and forklifts of the Soviet/Russian military during the last 80 years or that Ukraine would fold like a lawn chair during the invasions.
    I don't doubt some of their assessments are sober and accurate but given what we've learned, colour me skeptical.
