The leaked intel might be advantageous to Russia were this not to be misdirection: and the possibility is quite real, Pepe Escobar writes.
The script reads like a spoof straight out of legendary Mad magazine 1960âs cartoon âSpy vs. Spyâ: Secret Pentagon Documents Fall in the Hands of Malign Russia. Well, actually in the hands of millions accessing Twitter and Telegram.
So here, at face value, we have a major leak essentially detailing Pentagon planning for the next stage of the NATO vs. Russia proxy war in Ukraine: the interminably debated Spring âcounter-offensiveâ that may, or may not, start in mid-April, as well as war plans shared with FVEY â the Five Eyes.
The leaked intel might â and the operative word is âmightâ â be advantageous to Russia were this not to be misdirection: and the possibility is quite real.
