Exclusive: U.S. Wont Share Invasion Intel With Ukraine
American spies have spotted all the signs of an all-out Russian invasion of Ukraine. Why wont they tell the Ukrainians about the forces on their border? U.S. intelligence agencies now have detailed information that Russia has amassed the kind of forces needed for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. But the Obama administration hasnt shared with Ukraine the imagery, intercepts, and analysis that pinpont the location of the Russian troops ready to seize more Ukrainian land, The Daily Beast has learned.
President Obama has repeatedly and publicly expressed solidarity with the Ukrainian peopleand warned Russian leader Vladimir Putin that there will be consequences if he takes over any more Ukrainian territory. Yet Obamas administration has so far been reluctant to hand over the kind of intelligence the Ukrainians could use to defend themselves. U.S. officials and members of Congress briefed on the crisis in Ukraine tell The Daily Beast that senior U.S. military officers have been instructed to refrain from briefing their Ukrainian counterparts in detail about what the United States knows about the Russians troops amassing on the border.
I am not confident we are sharing any of that kind of information, said Rep. Michael Turner, the Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committees subcommittee that oversees U.S. tactical air and land forces. Its clear we are not giving them critical military advice about the Russian capability on their border and the best utilization of the Ukrainian military to counter that.
Instead, the U.S. intelligence communitys detailed analysis of a potential Russian invasion has been shared only with the Congress, American policy makers, and members of the Obama administration. The analysis includes details such as the geographic location of specific Russian units and predictions for how those units would be used in combination for a potential invasion.

It requires a double-theory of the CIA feigning incompetence all these years.

One problem I see is the "Government Assessment" being not a "Intelligence summary"
