Nestled in a dense forest, the Ukrainian military base appears abandoned and destroyed, its command center a burned-out husk, a casualty of a Russian missile barrage early in the war.

      This is indeed an interesting release… you only say things like this is the enemy knows all of it and it provides some advantage domestically. You have to assume this was intended for republicans to rally around the defense bill.

        Maybe, although I would bet that Russia already knew about it and the CIA knows they knew. After all, the CIA and Ukraine have been in partnership for 10 years according to the article, long before the war began.

          One of the issues russia has is that they’re all yes men at this point, so anyone who looks out of place could be a CIA spy. This causes them to be paranoid as fuck and ignore legit Intel. Good for us, bad for them. So they know the CIA is in the Kremlin and they know they can’t do anything about it.
