If I quoted someone other than what you were referring why not just point me to the right place?

Because he is engaging in bad faith and poisoning the well. You know this. I know this. He knows this.

I really recommend to just stop engagement and ignore him. He wants the dopamine hit of causing outrage and disgust. Let's not give it to him

Let me help you with that:

Poe' s law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the parodied views.

Without the voice inflection and body language of personal communication, these are easily misinterpreted. A /s, has become widely accepted on the net as an indication that "I'm only kidding". If you submit a satiric item without this symbol, no matter how obvious the satire is to you, do not be surprised if people take it seriously.

New Leaked Documents Show Broad Infighting Among Russian Officials​

The additional documents also suggest the breach of American intelligence agencies could contain far more material than previously believed.

I read the Washington Post Story about the source of the leaks.

A guy in his early to mid-20's. What gets me is how did he have access to so much? Such a broad range of "topics".

He had been sharing info for months to impress his fellow gamers. What kind of a role exists where a low level guy get's access to such serious intel?

He had access to details on the Chinese spy baloon. Had the infamous U-2 Selfie photo before it was spread out officially.

Access to an official cross-country intel sharing platform. Intel on North Korea, China all sorts.

Perhaps he works at a level where headline items are collated for distribution, so saw it all and doesn't work in a specific department?

I just find that strange that they allowed such access to someone so junior. A massive oversight on their part.

Regardless, the US needs a serious review of its internal Intel security. They may be brilliant at obtaining Intel, but have some real issues in keeping it secure.

Then again, in the Cold War, on a balance of things, I'd say the KGB were very successful in obtaining intel from high up officials in the US Intel services. So maybe it is a symptom of the US Intel services? Some type of hubris and American Exceptionalism giving them blindspots?

More like archaeology given that it still basically a T-72.

Happens all the time. SA handed over the only then very advanced (For Russia) SA8 Gecko missile system seen outside the Soviet Union to the West after first checking it out. It went from SA via Israel to the USA. It was captured by the SADF in Angola.
