Disclosing Intelligence Was an Effective Weapon

Amy Zegart: “The way in which the U.S. disclosed intelligence ahead of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could drastically change geopolitics in the future.”

“The disclosed intelligence wasn’t just about military movements. It was about secret plans at the core of Russia’s intelligence operations.”

“It is hard to overstate how much of a shift this represents. Intelligence is a closely guarded world, one where officials are loath to publicly air what they know, or how they know it, for fear of putting sources at risk or revealing to their rivals just how much information they have.”
