Might a stronger Europe decide not to share its results with us? Why should we benefit from our own errant stupidity? I’m glad all this vacillation by the U.S. on intelligence matters and cosying up to Putin is pushing Europe harder, and I am more glad than I can say that Ukraine has a fellow with real intelligence chops at the helm. But if I were Europe, I would want precious little to do with the U.S. We make stupid mistakes. Trump clearly has a predilection for Russian rule. We are now completely untrustworthy. And any piece of information from intelligence that is shared with us provides malefactors with a chance to uncover sources and methods. That was a conundrum the Brits had with Enigma—they couldn’t even let on that it existed.
