"According to CNN, in a secret mission in 2017, America “extracted from Russia one of its highest-level covert sources inside the Russian government,” partly because of worries that Trump’s cavalier handling of intelligence information could expose the person. On Monday evening, The New York Times added to the story, reporting that the source was a Russian official whose job provided “access to the highest level of the Kremlin.”
“The secret removal of the high-level Russian asset has left the U.S. without one of its key sources on the inner workings of the Kremlin,” reported CNN’s Jim Sciutto" So he loses key info on Putin's Kremlin.
And let's remember some earlier Trump revelations to our enemies of sacred state secrets:
"Trump, you’ll remember, was in office for only a few months before he revealed to Russia classified intelligence about ISIS that originated in Israel, potentially endangering a source who was, as The Wall Street Journal reported, “the most valuable source of information on external plotting by Islamic State.” So, he loses key info on ISIS.
And, another memory:
"Not long after, Trump bragged to Philippine strongman Rodrigo Duterte about the presence of American nuclear submarines off North Korea. (“We never talk about subs!” stunned Pentagon officials told BuzzFeed News.)" So he warns North Korea of military secrets.
And another in a long line of this man's attack on U.S. security:
"Less than two weeks ago, Trump tweeted what was likely a classified photo of the aftermath of an explosion at an Iranian space center. From the image, journalists and internet sleuths were able to deduce important information about the type and location of the satellite that produced it. “This is the first time in three and a half decades that an image has become public that reveals the sophistication of U.S. spy satellites in orbit,” reported Wired." So he gives Iran info to help them hide from the world their missile work.
So, is Trump just an unstable, mentally ill, unbalanced fool? or is he an agent of Russia following orders to weaken and destroy America's leadership in the world.
I think it is the latter. I am tired of giving him the benefit of the doubt and saying he is just stupid and nuts. He could well be reacting to Russian blackmail. And America and the world loses.
