Writes Brian Dunaway:

From the article: “Clearly, Kiev and Washington now want world to know of the deep intelligence relationships they tried to conceal for over the past decade. It is perhaps a kind of warning to Moscow at a moment Ukraine’s forces are in retreat: the US is fighting hand in glove with the Ukrainians. And yet the revelations contained in the NY Times report also confirm what President Putin has precisely accused Washington of for years.”

Yes, surely all true, but the first thing that came to my mind is that the CIA cannot not brag about their “accomplishments.” One key element that’s always included in these braggadocia is that they fooled the stupid citizenry (which they hold in contempt), lickspittle press (which they hold in even more contempt), and infinitely credulous and/or traitorous government “oversight” agencies (e.g., Congress, which seems to be OK with the CIA spying on them) ONE. MORE. TIME!!
