U.S. Pauses Intelligence Sharing After Pausing Arms Shipments to Ukraine

CIA Director John Ratcliffe said Wednesday that the U.S. had paused sharing intelligence with Ukraine as well as pausing arms shipments to Kyiv.
Ratcliffe indicated that the moves may be temporary.

“Trump had a real question about whether President Zelensky was committed to the peace process, and he said let’s pause,” Ratcliffe said on Wednesday.

“I want to give a chance to think about that, and you saw the response that President Zelensky put out,” Ratcliffe added, “So I think on the military front and the intelligence front, the pause that allowed that to happen, I think will go away.”

President Zelenskyy has been falling all over himself, backtracking furiously after the Oval Office debacle. He now claims he "regrets" what happened. “My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts,” Zelenskyy said.

Good!

The problem with sharing secrets is that you have no control over where those secrets end up.

Kind of like the military hardware that ended up on the black market after being shared with Ukraine. They sold off what they didn't need- and it ended up in strange places. That was some time ago, under Biden but it happened.

Secrets and intelligence are only of value when they remain secret.
