Two sources informed the Financial Times that President Trump paused “intelligence sharing” with Ukraine. In a follow-up another source told Sky News the “intelligence sharing” with Ukraine was paused, but the intel is still shared with the U.K.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe appeared on Fox Business with Maria Bartiromo and confirmed President Trump instructed a pause in “intelligence sharing.” However, it’s a little funny because everyone is using the term “intelligence sharing” to avoid saying what is actually happening.
President Trump paused the drone and missile “targeting system” being used by CIA and Ukraine partners; that’s what the “intelligence sharing” factually consists of. Why don’t they use the term “targeting system”?… Because if they did, they would be admitting the USA has been the military/IC operation firing missiles and drones against Russia.
Within the Sky News report, they go right up to the edge in describing what the “intelligence” being paused actually consists of. “Asked whether it is correct that the US has stopped sharing intelligence, the source said: “Unfortunately, yes, but not completely. It is selective. On the possibility of damage on the territory of the Russian Federation”.
Bottom Line – President Trump has paused “sharing” the U.S controlled targeting system that was being used (by Ukraine and the CIA) to target Russian military forces. WATCH (prompted)
.
Pausing the targeting system was exactly what CTH recommended. Keep watching. Now that we are seeing CIA Director Ratcliffe confirm it, there should be no doubt it has been the USA Intelligence Community all along operating the military systems in Ukraine.
Everyone has been pretending. In fact, it is our proxy war that President Trump is stopping. A frustrated Trump has been trying to navigate through this grand construct of pretending that he was left to deal with.
US Cuts Intel and Aid to Ukraine: Beginning of the End, or Just More Flimflam?

“….Most people aren’t aware of just how “leaky” the Five Eyes networks are—the information will easily be passed on to whomever wants or needs it. Just recall Jack Teixeira, a lowly national guard IT tech who had full access to the CIA networks and databases with all up-to-date “highly classified” intelligence. One could argue that Trump’s ban on the intel-sharing is only performative in nature, with the full understanding that the information will easily continue to find its way to Ukraine.
Another source claims NATO is already picking up the slack:..”
“…As an aside, let us take a moment to admire the logic of this conditional exchange. We will lift the weapons ban and give you more weapons once you come to the table to sign a peace deal. Does that make sense to everyone? It usually works the other way around. Why would Russia possibly agree to a ceasefire or peace talks to a Ukraine it now knows will continue receiving huge sums of weaponry upon sitting down to negotiate?
What’s looking likely is that Russia has demanded for the US to stop participating in long range strikes on critical Russian industries as part of the ongoing Russia-US negotiations. How can Russia trust the US when it is actively helping Ukraine carry out painful strikes on strategic Russian sites?…”

“but the intel is still shared with the U.K“
“But”
Yeah, IMO they need to but cut off.
Simplicius wrote a column that came in around midnight last night (EDST) that seems to be based on using MSM “reporting” to criticize PDJT.
I have not read it critically yet.
I do not have time in my life for following what lies and spin the MSM spews out.
Ratcliff looks like he wants to cry.
