The US has been strategically leaking intel to the public about Russia’s threat to Ukraine. The strategy has its fans, but some national security veterans wonder if the administration is taking it too far.
U.S. national security figures get that information war is the new battleground. But "how many freaking times do they need to warn that anything may be imminent?” one asked.
U.S. officials say the disclosures are carefully vetted and represent only a small amount of the information America and its allies have gathered as Russian leader Vladimir Putin amasses troops along Ukraine’s border. The goals, they say, include preemptively exposing — and thus derailing — Russian lies that could lead to a war while also putting America and its European allies on the same page.
Sen. Mark Warner , who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, said approvingly that “leaning in” on intelligence disclosures has given the Russians “fair warning.” “I think that’s, again, put the Russians back a little bit,” he said.
