Israeli intelligence fears Donald Trumps administration will funnel their secrets to Vladimir Putin

Israeli intelligence fears Donald Trump’s administration will funnel their secrets to Vladimir Putin, Russia

Israeli intelligence officials are reportedly concerned that any intelligence information shared with their American counterparts will eventually leak to Russia — thanks to the cozy relationship President-elect Donald Trump may have with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The fears stem from a reported recent meeting involving Israeli and American intelligence officials, according Israeli paper Yedioth Ahronoth. Those involved in the talks said that the Americans warned Israel to “be careful” starting Jan. 20, the day Trump takes over the Oval Office.

The American intelligence officials reportedly briefed their Israeli colleagues on the hacks targeting the Democratic National Committee, claiming they had “highly credible information” that Russian intelligence agencies conduct the cyberattacks and subsequently leaked the emails to WikiLeaks to undermine Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid.

According to the report, the Americans also informed Israeli officials that Putin had “leverages of pressure” over Trump. The Americans did not divulge what type of leverage Moscow had, but it was assumed they were referencing the 35-page memos collected by a former MI6 agent.

The Israeli leaders career has shown he is a violent man and has resorted to violence much easier than most of his predecessors. People were trying for an easier softer way to feel better when they backed Trump. However Americas soul is sick as are many of us citizens and we are have a hard time being OK with our lives so project our feelings onto others in the form of hate shame anger guilt etc so it take some inner personal work before many of us are going to feel better.

Americans got to do a lot of soul searching to do and it is not fun and so does Israel in relation to the Palestine's.

In the power they have (usually conspiracy theories).

All intelligence services in other parts of the world should treat their dealings with the US as if they are dealing with putin.
