Question for the intelligent!

So, Russia is giving tactical locations of US troops?

Who has feeding the information? Who has the “biglyiest” mouth? I can think of someone who patronizes Putin!

I do not think that information is coming from an insider in the US. It may come as a surprise to you that we are not the only country with satellites. Russia is using its satellites to map out our troops movements and positions and passing that to Iran.
As a matter of fact, not just Russia. There are a lot of private firms with that same info, some of them controlled by China for example :

Even other private firms like planet who just decided to put at 96 hours delay to any new released imagery

We are in an era where nothing can be done under the hood anymore.

All Iran would have to do is check out Truth Social.
