    US intelligence agencies are now entirely compromised by the actions of Don QHoaxer de la Maga. Any data received by them will be swiftly traded off to unfriendly powers, while any data from them will be so riddled with disinformation as to be useless.

      Not even getting good value in trade. Just get dinner at Mar A Lago, and use the bathroom in back of the jacuzzi or whatever.

      And even when Trump is gone, the American people have shown their commitment to electing fascists so the USA should be considered untrustworthy for decades to come.

    On some level I’m glad he’s also going after Germany, Denmark, Ukraine etc. At least we’re not alone in this.

        Navarro did not respond to requests for comment. After the FT’s article was first published, Navarro denied pushing the idea, which he said was “crazy stuff”. “We would never ever jeopardise our national security . . . with allies like Canada,” Navarro said.

        That is a full walkback if it was ever said originally. Doesn’t make it time to trust the US on anything, though.

      He’s gained valuable experience, he’s an integral member of Trump’s inner circle.

      Oh that was happening the second Trump used Putin’s exact lines about the Ukraine war and put a person in charge of our intelligence that’s widely seen as a Russian asset.

      This will just make it happen faster.

    Just a report on beyond the scenes chatter from within Trump’s inner circle.

      With Tulsi Gabbard as the US Director of National Intelligence, how much do we want to leak to Russia?

            I am joking but that’s how Tulsi sees the situation.

            Ukraine is about to be fucked over so hard that it will be a chapter in history books what happens when a smaller nation tries to stand tall and gets ganged up on by nuclear powers.

      New plan: we all kick out the US and we’ll invite most of the rest of the friendly countries name it the one-hundred thirty-eyes and we’ll have blackjack and hookers.

      Australia and New Zealand, who Russia doesn’t really care about.

      This president has been such a disgrace to the intelligence community.

          Australia and NZ are in a difficult position. From the day European’s arrived they have been aligned to the world’s dominant sea power. Both are remote and reliant on sea trade. I don’t know that we have the mental flexibility to change. More likely we will negotiate with the Whitehouse to get the best we can out of things under the circumstances. I wouldn’t expect either political party here to publicly oppose Trump except on long established foreign policy like support of Ukraine. I wouldn’t mistake lack of protest with acceptance.

          The countries with the most self-interest in securing our sea trade are China, Japan and South Korea for their food, energy and raw materials, not the USA. US is a net exporter to us but a lot of it is financial, services/IP and I think their commitment is somewhat less than it was post WW2.

    Don’t threaten us with a good time. Snowden’s leaks unveiled just how shady and corrupt this agreement is.

    Also does the US even have an intelligence sector any more? Or have they all been fired and replaced with toe-sucking morons?

        Can’t, sorry, I’m sure the Prime Minister would be removed again by your Governor-General if you tried :/

              this is exactly how this should play out. the outcome might not be fair or ideal, however the whitlam government could not govern with the situation at the time after 2 attempts. in these situations, there are no good options: deferring power to the governor general to force a functional government is, imo, a better option than people fighting for control with violence or government shutdown etc… you can disagree, and that’s fine but in general i think that australian culture tends to side with my way of doing things, and it’s worked out for us so far

              and no i’m not really interested in gaming out what ifs and multiverse theories of how things might have or will go in some arbitrary future because the reality of the situation right now is australia is a great place to live and the largest constitutional crisis ever ended in a pretty fine outcome in the long term and has never happened again

      They’ve not forgotten about NORAD, and I wish I could say more than that, but I would get people in trouble if I did.

        If you truly know something which you are not allowed to speak publicly about, you may be in a position to “do something” with that information.

        Godspeed, and I hope I never hear about your exploits.
