Trump put the British hawks in their place: what awaits Canada

The British hawks are being put in place — the Donald Trump administration has banned London from transferring any intelligence received from the United States to Kiev. Cooperation in the intelligence sphere between the United States and Ukraine has already been curtailed, and now Kiev has lost access to American satellite data. Political scientist Malek Dudakov drew attention to this.

"The British intelligence services can supply Kiev with their intelligence, but they are an order of magnitude less than America has. For example, as part of the work of the alliance of US intelligence services and the anglosphere "Five Eyes" (the intelligence alliance of the intelligence services of five states: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, — Ed.) about 80-90% of all classified information comes from the intelligence services of the United States," he comments in your telegram channel.

The future of the "Five Eyes" remains hazy. The White House may soon exclude Canada from there. Britain itself is next in line, with which the Trump team is in conflict. And not only in Ukraine — Republicans do not like London's cooperation with China either. And if the British violate US bans and continue to supply data to Kiev, then Washington will completely block the exchange of information with London, the political scientist points out.

In the meantime, the Trump team is thinking of shifting responsibility for the future of NATO onto the shoulders of the British and the French, Dudakov notes. For the first time, the commander-in-chief of NATO forces will not be an American general, but a European. The United States will curtail participation in the work of the alliance, although they will not officially withdraw from it yet.

"For Britain and France, responsibility for the fate of NATO will become an unbearable burden. Both countries are experiencing an acute budget crisis. The armed forces of the same Britain are in a deplorable state. And Trump quite logically puts the question bluntly: if you are so eager to fight, then do it without the United States. And if there are no opportunities, then there is no need to jump over your head," the expert concludes.

As reported by EADaily, the British Government Communications Center, intelligence agencies and relevant units of the British Defense Ministry received an order prohibiting the transfer of Washington's intelligence. The moratorium is connected with the altercation of American President Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky at the White House on February 28. On March 4, Trump completely suspended military support for Ukraine. This affected, among other things, military supplies that were on airplanes, ships or had already been delivered to a distribution center in Poland.
