Five Eyes alliance’ crumbling after UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada give US cold shoulder
This is my first post on lemmy so bear with me. Last week someone associated with the US govt floated the idea of kicking Canada out of the Five Eyes network. A week later… would you look at that. Thoughtless and unwarranted actions have consequences.
A lot of people - including me - instinctively say "good, let's make it the four eyes and exclude the US."
But really, we need to do away with the x-eyes program entirely, in its current form.
Shared intelligence is great, but the biggest advantage to 5Eyes has always been that it indirectly allows countries to spy on their own citizens. It's invasive, illegal bullshit that needs to stop.
no country should share intelligence with the US considering sharing intelligence with the US under trump is just handing it directly to putin
@cupcakezealot @CircaV Except for impending terrorist attacks. Otherwise I agree.
Good post about the five eyes, thanks.

Thanks for your first post here. I'm very new and have only posted some sunrise pics.
Well anyway, a friend of mine back in England about 32 years ago said to me that "America is the greatest threat to world peace". I didn't believe him and didn't understand. I was obviously a lot younger, and a lot more ignorant to the way of the world.
Well, look at it all now. John, you were actually making sense, thanks.
Fucking john
Good. The US should be given the cold shoulder, or not be given the same access and information they had before. They can’t be trusted. Does anyone really think he wouldn’t share any information he’s given with his Russian handlers? Right now, they're a threat to the other four members' national security.
"President Trump will work with any ally or partner who understands the dangerous world inherited after the disastrous Biden years"
a whiff of Führerprinzip coming from the White House
Good. Fuck Five Eyes.
Pirates: oh no.... Oh no that CAN'T be? Say it isn't TRUE! 😂
Good, now to eliminate the other eyes and not have loopholes like five eyes allowing countries to illegally spy on their own citizens.
The USA was always the odd man out...
