Business Insider: Ex-spies and diplomats say the Biden administration needs to 'shut-up' after NYT report about US intelligence helping Ukraine kill Russian generals
Business Insider ^ | May 6, 2022 | John Haltiwanger

Former US officials and diplomats in recent days have sharply criticized the Biden administration over a New York Times report based on conversations with senior officials that said US intelligence was helping Ukraine kill Russian generals.

"Shut up about it," John Sipher, a former CIA officer who served in Russia, said in a tweet on the Times report.

Michael McFaul, a former US ambassador to Russia, in a tweet responding to Sipher said, "Exactly. No one should be talking to press about such things."

Intelligence community are aghast at Biden Administration leaks concerning US helping target Russian Generals in Ukraine. This administration is displaying levels of incompetence not seen since the administration of Jimmy carter.

I bet made the story up and sent it to the NYT himself. We all know he believes his own stories. Biden is extremely dangerous.

Of course they are aghast. The only leaks allowed are those intended to undermine Republicans.

The Israelis had an agent at Muammar Gaddafi’s nightly dinner table, his son in law. They gave regular briefings on Libia to the CIA who then provided information to then President Carter. At a Washington dinner party someone asked Carter why he had done something. Carter said something like, “Well, we know from Muammar’s son in law that...” The poor guy was arrested and tortured. He didn’t live until dawn.

Hillary Clinton mentioned the actual name of the CIA’s agent inside the Iranian nuclear program in an unencrypted email on her personal server. Yep, arrested, tortured and executed.

I could go on, like when a Democrat on the intelligence committee employed a Chinese agent as a driver. (There aren’t any Americans qualified?)

Democrats are only concerned about themselves.

Whoever is pulling Brandon’s strings wants a war, and they’re not likely to be stopped. We are sleep walking into oblivion.

“Business Insider: Ex-spies and diplomats say the Biden administration needs to ‘shut-up’ after NYT report about US intelligence helping Ukraine kill Russian generals”

My guess is that they don’t like the idea of now having to look over their shoulders for the rest of their lives, given the Russian capability to deal with people abroad.

Leaks are endemic to Dim administrations, as well as often stupidly from American intel community.

It's who these neocons are.

Remember the Time Magazine article about "fortifying" the "election"?

The same neocon/globalist crowd bragged about their little 2020 coup to gain control of the US "government".

Now they're bragging about provoking the bear.

Gay pride, black pride, etc. is the way the DNC raises up its arrogant foot soldiers. They think they run law enforcement, the courts and are above the law - maybe so inside the United States, but in the real world there are consequences for corruption.

It's a little late for crying now since Democrats created
a leak culture a long time ago.
Leakers are heroes, don't ya know.

Reap what you've sown.

I am now officially a cynically contemptous conservative wishing another country could do what we won’t do ourselves to the political class (and the business crony capitalists, e.g., socialists). My ill will extends to all major cities run by democrats. They want war. Maybe they will get the kind of war that wipes out a dozen cities in one fell swoop forever changing the internal political balance within the USA.

Mao Te Sung - No Man No Problem.... Me, no cities no democrats no probelms an election can’t solve.

Biden’s diarrhea mouth can and will get people killed, if it hasn’t already, not to mention WW3.

Didn’t Xiden, soetoro and Panetta out SEAL Team 6 as the ones that got Osama?

“Didn’t Xiden, soetoro and Panetta out SEAL Team 6 as the ones that got Osama?”

Yes. It’s hard to say if it was just bumbling ineptitude or outright treason. Take your pick.

Democrats are only concerned about themselves.

They certainly seem to regard privileged information as personal property. The real issue in the Hillary private server wasn't just what was on it, it was who had purchased direct access to it. And note Adam Schiff's clear panic that he might be taken off the House Intelligence Committee. Feinstein's driver. Swalwell's girlfriend. Our enemies know exactly to get whatever information they want.
