Trump will give top secret security clearances to allies without background checks | Michael Shear

[@20quid]

If there's any truth to that the the UK needs to stop intelligence-sharing with the US as a matter of national security.

[@julieplumb4127]

Seems like intelligence sharing should stop right now. As an American, I think the world should cut us off from everything, Canada should also.

[@BillDavies-ej6ye]

Four Eyes ? (UKUSA). Putin and XI benefit from the collapse of the West, and I think Trump will cause it.

[@douglashowell8368]

Canada has already stopped sharing with the Americans. But have opened a Asylum center in Quebec USA border crossing. Not for deported people but for Americans looking for Asylum. That says things are not going well.

[@jimboslice4468]

Love that this implies Canada isn't part of the world

[@s0ycapitan]

I don't think you have any kind of grasp on the power dynamic. The USA is the hegemon and the rest of the collective West are vassals.

[@ryanwalters6184]

😂😂😂😂 As if they actually give us anything, these countries are cutting off themselves. You people live in a fantasy land.

[@stephenmuir5030]

(05:08): "Grant top secret security clearance to *White House staff* without going through traditional vetting procedures." Interesting to know what "traditional" vetting procedures might be abandoned, but if robust replacements aren't implemented, I think a lot of US agencies will be careful about what intelligence they provide to the White House after that one.

[@ryanwalters6184]

Then they'll be breaking the law. Trump is the head of the executive branch. ❤ These deep State people are the problem

[@ArthurTanner-d7s]

Not just US agencies. Those in other countries are going to have to think twice.

An interesting decision. A pilot project, provided his advisors approve, intelligence agencies are watertight, whistleblower laws and - protection apply globally for all of us to raise red flags, legal warfare among politicians -for political purposes only - will end, and spiritual warfare will be made a criminal offense. The UK could consider its own plan❤️🇬🇧🙏

Talking about "President trump's view of executive orders" sounds to me like talking about a monkey at a typewriter's "view about shakespeare"

[@wendyharbon7290]

Giving high level security clearance to anyone, without full and proper security vetting, is gross act of Stupidity and the worst type of Security Negilience too. Americian Allies, will be very worried about President Trump Mege Far Right Republican US Government Administration! Along with will affect American Allies, sharing Military, Intelligence and Law Enforcement Security information and data, with their American counterparts. Or directly with President Trump himself, or with Trump's question Political Appointees too?

[@PuketiCat2]

Wow nothing secure here C.Y.O.A. 😂😂😂

[@MoralScienceEducation]

I have faith the President of the USA will reflect on the long term benefits and risks of his decision. It must be so challenging for Politicians to manifest progress, ethics and transparency while delivering their vision🙏

[@messtins8495]

Imagine the low self esteem and narcissistic thinking in making a relatively insignificant, mundane task into a show boating, paid event. Living in a twisted, pitiful, paranoid, parallel reality. The world continues to watch and ridicule this mastermind of bitterness. 🙀🐶

[@timothykrause2327]

It’s going to be the MAGA way. Everyone had their chance over the last 40 years to get it done, and clearly you can see what happened. We’ll be calling the shots now, you’re welcome to join.

The US does not want to be like Europe. The EU has grow economic growth and military challenges. The US wants partners that are strong and not so dependent.

@ Thanks for confirming that you still don’t understand. You want to talk dependency? Which is the only NATO country to have invoked Article 5 and call for help from the other members?
