        From AP:

        A senior European intelligence official tells The Associated Press that his country might stop sharing information with the United States if it confirms President Donald Trump shared classified details with Russian officials.

        The official said Tuesday that doing so “could be a risk for our sources.”

        The official spoke only on condition that neither he nor his country be identified, because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
        Obvious guesses:

        1. South Korea
        2. Israel
        3. Any of FVEY

          How much autonomy do EU member states have in foreign policy? Ukraine's defense and foreign secretaries are sitting with the Germans and they're basically talking (notional, not implementation) about defense against Ivan. If this feels like we're going to party like it's 1910 or 1935, well...

              I'm fixing my problem by moving directly downwind of Fort Detrick. The only problem is bacillus anthracis takes up to two months to kill you. Dr. Mrs. is luckier. She'll be underneath one of the Voevoda MIRVs and literally go in a flash.

                        GMD at the next test stage.

                        The basic defensive idea is to fire a rocket into space upon warning of a hostile missile launch. The rocket releases a 5-foot-long device called a “kill vehicle” that uses internal guidance systems to steer into the path of the oncoming missile’s warhead, destroying it by force of impact. Officially known as the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system, the Pentagon likens it to hitting a bullet with a bullet.

                        The Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency is responsible for developing and testing the system.

                        An interceptor is to be launched from an underground silo at Vandenberg and soar toward the target, which will be fired from a test range on Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific. If all goes as planned, the “kill vehicle” will slam into the ICBM-like target’s mock warhead high over the Pacific Ocean.
                        "We manufacture those, by the way."

                        It's a kinetic energy weapon, using the ICBM's momentum to create a space car crash. Hitherto, the results are mixed, about 50% "this isn't working yet" and 50% "this can't actually ever work." If it actually ever did work that might end the world. There would be a short window before every other nation's ICBMs became useless both for attack and, way more importantly, deterrent. Given our electorate's recent demonstration of Dunning-Kruger, I doubt any nation with the ability to stop us would relish handing over global security unilaterally to our grasping hands and weak minds. And somehow I doubt the mindset that occupies the DIA and, currently, the White House is going to open publish the entire tech (which from the perspective of saving the species is what it ought to do).

                            They've been testing this for a decade, and I think they've had about a 50% success rate, which is still 0% useful.

                            The minute someone is able to to stop ICBM's, the treaty about not using weapons in space will be torn up.

                              That 50 is also a cooked number. They test under perfect conditions, the contractors design their own test suite, and if they don't like the result they just scrub it and rerun later. Everybody involved -- the contractor but also the government who OKed the design in the first place -- has a vested interest in success. The larger the project the more you run into co-enabling and, eventually, Sunk Cost Fallacy. USG defense contracts are a very special corner of psych research.

                              The amazing thing is most of the folks involved are not deliberately corrupt. The MBAs and investors on the corporate boards obviously are, but the techs and COTRs and auditors are actually straight up folks and they are very conscious of WF&A and do their best. But the systemic forces just roll over and crush them.
