But the private views of high-ranking officials about allies, communicated within government, must also count as intelligence to be protected.

Even in 2014 – at the annual Valdai security conference – Vladimir Putin was referencing an escalation towards conflict with the west. He later described the west as having “crossed a line”.
Ukraine war: following Donald Trump’s re-election, four likely scenarios are becoming clear

Nov 18, 2024 | theafricanmirror.africa | Robert Dover

WHEN he claimed victory in the early hours of November 6, Donald Trump said he was a man of his word. A hallmark of his second term as US president would be “promises made and promises kept”.
