  1. Hmmm.... having failed recently to progress a prosecution against people accused of spying for China, will the latest arrests (edging ever closer to serving Labour MPs, if not quite there... yet) also be withdrawn due to the inability to gain a clear statement from the Govt. that China is (actually) a threat?

    Or are the latest arrestees being accused of something more easily proved as espionage?

  6. It will come as no surprise to you that the Netherlands intelligence agencies are now no longer sharing intelligence with the US (and specifically that on Russia).

    Whether this is part of a wide intelligence inoculation from the US remains to be seen, but if the Dutch are saying it, you can bet other intelligence agencies are quietly withholding from information sharing with the US.

    More evidence of a ongoing fragmentation of global politics in the age of Trump

  11. The accidental leak of war plans to a journalist is shocking, but it's part of a much bigger pattern, Trump, and even more his clown college of appointees and hangers on, mostly lack any knowledge of operating in a security/intelligence environment. There will be more leaks, and more, and...the leak adjacent. I listened to a bit of Trump's announcement about Boeing getting the new advanced fighter contract. There was this bit where he started to tell the price, because -- bragging with amounts is his jam, and then stopped himself. This was followed by "I can't tell you the price, because that would give away the size of it. It's a good size." He can't help himself throwing out hints to how "best" it (HIS accomplishment!) is. That's also his nature.
    Now, I don't know the meaning of that, I'm an aviation watcher, but not an expert, or a foreign analyst with files of other information. but foreign experts probably will. His statements shrink the box of unknown into which foreign intelligence may be trying to penetrate (if it hasn't already leaked, possibly from earlier incompetence). It may well have provided the last bit of information to figure out the details of the fighter and its capabilities, or it may provide them a target on which to focus future intelligence experts. And we know how he leaks secrets regularly to his wealthy peers, so this probably isn't the beginning of it, and it won't be the end.
    Even as he was speaking the words, I could imagine the CIA and others safeguarding the fighter's secrets banging their heads on the table in frustration. Trump is an idiot, and telling him an important secret is like telling it a talkative five-year-old.
    (Full disclosure, my wife and I have a small number of shares of Boeing in our retirement account, and even I'm not sure how I feel about trusting Boeing with this contract, but I trust them more than Trump.)
