Start with political donations if you want to actually keep Israel in check.

Lol?

I suppose having the Commander in Chief fully compromised by Israeli intelligence blackmail material is a pretty high espionage threat, yeah.

The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks issued the new counterintelligence threat assessment amid rising tensions between Israel and the U.S. over the way forward in the war with Iran, the officials said. They said the DIA posted an internal message, viewed by one of the current officials, that raised the level for Israel to “critical.”

The designation stems from concerns within the Pentagon that Israel is making a particular effort to surveil top U.S. officials to get information on the Trump administration’s internal deliberations and decision-making on the conflicts in the Middle East, the officials said.

Israel has never not spied on enemies and allies alike.

Israel doesn’t have allies… It’s enemies and people they haven’t screwed over yet.

What would the USA be in this scenario. Never forget the USS Liberty and remember that is was Israeli secret services that presented the “evidence of WMDs” to the GW Bush administration that got the USA embroiled in the Iraq war.

The USA is a putz to Israel

I mean the whole epstein saga was them collecting blackmail on the most powerful people in the world. So Ya.

Must mean the levels are pointless, because the US will never stop supporting Israel, that’s a law of nature by now and i trust it more than political claims

And the solution somehow would be to merge the military and intelligence apparati of the two countries. The US of A would become Israel’s 2nd to 51st states.

It’s hard to stop spies when your supreme leader opens the door for them.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today on 06 Jun 12:33 next collapse

Spying? Everybody already knows all our secrets. It isn’t even hard. Just tell Trump you’ll pay him, and he’ll tell you whatever you want to know. I’m sure all the rest of them are selling everything, too. America is totally for sale, and EVERYBODY knows it.

And this week, the DIA will release a report about water, and it’s confirmed wetness.

Water is not wet. It makes other things wet.

That’s like saying your pants are dressed.

My underwear has pants on 🤷‍♂️

They are. Each day I give them little outfits. What, you don’t?

Can water make water wet?

JasonDJ@lemmy.zip on 06 Jun 16:23 collapse

Well, think of a particle man. Is he a dot or is he a speck? When he’s underwater, does he get wet? Or does the water get him instead?

Nobody knows.

Particle man.

Israel isn’t happy with 95% of the military information we share with them so they want to steal the last 5%.

That pariah nation needs some fucking comeuppance for what they’ve done to our country.
