As Russia's war in Ukraine rages on despite high-level meetings to discuss a possible path to peace, CBS News has learned that Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, issued a directive weeks ago to the U.S. intelligence community ordering that all information regarding the Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations not be shared with U.S.-allied intelligence partners.
The memo, dated July 20 and signed by Gabbard, directed agencies to not share information with the so-called Five Eyes, the post-World War II intelligence alliance comprising the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, multiple U.S. intelligence officials told CBS News.

The only information that could be shared was information that had already been publicly released. The memo also limited distribution of material regarding peace talks to within the agencies that created or originated the intelligence.

Good move.
L
Yeah well guess what. They ARE our adversaries.
Good.
Go girl.
That girl can hold a grudge.
COVID lifted the veil on these “allies” and they’ve basically doubled down since.
Wise decision. None of the other four are trustworthy.
I give Tulsi an A+++ in her role, her nomination was an outstanding choice
We have nothing in common with Canada, Australia/New Zealand because we rebelled against England but they decided to remain loyal to the crown.
GREAT!
My response to them was: "Are there any regular "men" left in Britain, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia? They've all allowed themselves to be bullied and threatened by their governments, especially during Covid."
“her nomination was an outstanding choice”
And she was a rock star in her Senate confirmation hearing!
Very.
The un-asked question: who leaked the memo to the press?
The Europeans are not our friends.
The rest of the English-speaking world is descending into Orwellian dystopias.
They are not the Allies of the 20th century anymore.
Five Eyes
Gang of 8
Those would be considered enemies foreign and domestic in another age
“The un-asked question: who leaked the memo to the press?”
exactly, these leakers need to be found, fired, and prosecuted [unless these were authorized leaks] ...
WINNING!!!
