Fascinating. Worth reading. [Gifted article, no paywall. NYTimes.com]: The Spy War: How the C.I.A. Secretly Helps Ukraine Fight Putin
For more than a decade, the United States has nurtured a secret intelligence partnership with Ukraine that is now critical for both countries in countering Russia.
Ex-#CIA operative explains why #Putin is ‘scared’ after #Navalny’s death, and Navalny's #mother reports that she has been told to have a secret #funeral for her #son, with no guests, or else they bury him in the artic prison >>>
Heute ist ein Schicksalstag für Julian #Assange, der für das Publizieren von #Kriegsverbrechen durch die USArmy seit Jahren ohne Prozess in Einzelhaft sitzt und inzwischen so schwer erkrankte, dass er persönlich nicht am Prozess über seine Auslieferung an die USA teilnehmen kann. Die #CIA hatte nachweislich Pläne, Assange zu ermorden. Die Auslieferung in die USA bedeutet seinen Tod. Annalena #Baerbock hatte vor der Wahl noch für seine Rechte getönt und seither leider nichts mehr für ihn getan.
Maria Zakharova, director of the information and press department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, is hinting that the CIA or some other Western forces killed Navalny:
“The immediate reaction of NATO leaders to Navalny’s death in the form of direct accusations against Russia is self-revealing. There is no forensic examination yet, but the West’s conclusions are already ready.”
On Independence Day July 4, 1987 Trump (& Ivana) flew to Moscow, on invitation from USSR ambassador Dubinin (& the KGB), lured by the prospect of building a big hotel in Moscow (30+ years later the illusion of building big in Moscow would still be haunting Donald's clan!).
Only two months after that (recruitment?) trip Trump had a full-page declaration of his published in the New York Times, Washington Post & the Boston Globe, for the first time publicly pursuing the goal to drive wedges between the U.S. & their international allies, pretending worries about financial imbalances.
Then serving the Soviet Union (& indirectly then-communist KGB-janitor Vladimir Putin), today serving Russia & fascist Eurasianism-imperialist Vladimir Putin.
Only after @WikiLeaks started revealing the 1st batch of #Vault7, #CIA realised they had lost control of #Vault7 data and they concluded: "Had the data been stolen for the benefit of a state adversary and not published, we might still be unaware of the loss"

DOJ Press Release: Former Cia Officer Joshua Adam Schulte Sentenced To 40 Years In Prison For Espionage And Child Pornography Crimes.
