The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented U.S. officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.

We told them there was an increased risk. They don’t need to know how we know or the specifics. They chose not to listen or act, and completely dismissed our advice as nonsense. This is on them.

Pfffft.... Russia already knew it was Ukraine long before USA received intel about ISIS preparing the attack. /s

Those Ukrainian Jewish Nazi ISIS supporters! They're the worst!

The US publicly said that there was an increased risk in Moscow for the 48 hours following March 7th. Whether they privately said anything more is unknown (neither side is too eager to share).

Indeed, for the 48 hours following March 7th, security at places like Crocus City Hall was ramped up.

Edit: would you like to hazard a guess as to what was happening at Crocus City Hall on March 7th-9th?

"We" "Our"

you are not the American government. They are your oppressors. They are not on your side.

There's a purposeful twist of language by you.

The way they used "we" simply implies they are a citizen of the US, not that they are an agent of the US gov security apparatus.

Seeing how you immediately blocked me after I called you out i'm going to go on a limb and say you weren't posting in good faith. EDIT: They didn't.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I didn't block you what are you on about

So now words bad and Lemmy features bad

Ok I didn't get a notification for your reply so that's why I came to that conclusion, must have been a federation bug.
