China approved “provision of lethal aid” to Russia in its war in Ukraine earlier this year and planned to disguise military equipment as civilian items, according to a U.S. intercept of Russian intelligence revealed in leaked secret documents.
The intercept, apparently obtained through U.S. eavesdropping on Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), was included in a top-secret summary, dated Feb. 23, of recent Ukraine- and Russia-related “products” compiled by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. It was among a number of previously unreported documents that The Washington Post obtained from a trove of images of classified files posted on a private server on the chat app Discord.
According to “signals intelligence,” the intelligence summary said, the SVR reported that China’s Central Military Commission had “approved the incremental provision” of weapons and wanted it kept secret. The report did not indicate the source of the SVR’s information.

2. This represents enormous damage to US methods and capabilities.
3. The mere fact that Russia and China are now aware of US intercept/decode capabilities changes the strategic landscape. They will do something else.
4. IF China is restocking the Russian arsenal, Ukraine is in for a world of hurt.
That kind of statement can get you flamed around here. Get ready to be called a "Putin puffer".
Thank you. That is exactly true, no one in the air national guard would have any access to any of this information. This leak came directly from the Pentagon.
Not to mention the POLITICAL DAMAGE to the Biden Admin for all their BS.
“China approved “provision of lethal aid” to Russia in its war in Ukraine earlier this year and planned to disguise military equipment as civilian items, according to a U.S. intercept of Russian intelligence revealed in leaked secret documents.”
Ya know, because "his job" required that a 21 year-old kid and avid gamer in the Mass Air-National Guard have top secret clearance to review communications weapons exchanges between Xi Jinping and Putin
Makes perfect sense.

I’ll say it again: I contend NOBODY in the ANG had access to this information.
My favorite is "Putlim stroker"
BTW, the resident deep-state Zeeper trolls have been very quite recently. Were they re-assigned to another operation?
China providing lethal aid to Russia is not news. Why wouldn’t they. The news is why would they want to keep it secret?
I tend to agree with you.
How do I know? On active duty I had a TS-SBI-TK1, direct support to division main and carried all his traffic back and forth to the comcenters. The division commanders were never shared this kind of information. This wasn’t something on a server drive that he had access to. He would have left a signature that can be tracked. And most of the centers today have cameras because of the Manning thing. And you can’t remote in to get this info. So yeah, some obscure base in Massachusetts isn’t going to give him this kind of info.
I have my doubts that this kid was the original source of the leak; more likely he was given the material by someone who was.
102nd Intelligence Air Wing. He had need to know and so had access. Branch of service is irrelevant.
NOBODY in the ANG had access to this information.

Then you have no idea how the US military works.

Gender transitions can sap your energy I’ve read??
Warmongering globalists love proxy wars.
This 21y is just the fall guy is all, also the pentagon is using discord???
“Then you have no idea how the US military works.”
I held TS/SCI/LIMDIS/SPECAT.
NOBODY in an operational military field command would have access to NSA intercepts of political leadership of any nation.
someone of rank DID have access and DID feed it to the lad...
we have no business in Ukraine.
but the mil-ind complex somehow is irrevocably for it...
when an irresistable force impacts an immovable object the results will be un predictable and likely not comprehensible.
it is a metaphysical event... my assessment.
