> If the CIA saw the need, saw the weakness, and the director at the Russia Desk approved a black-op, then technically no one authorized such an attack.
Perhaps, I suspect those sorts of bureaucratic boundaries are far more permeable than that.
I still struggle with the overarching Davos narrative tbh, even though I agree with the broad strokes. Don't buy they're that competent/united.
Not that the decision makers aren't competent generally, just that I don't see the genius level competency required to navigate something as complex as this.
I like Luongo generally though, he has an eye for details.

@skells Oof, I was loving this until the conclusion in the 13th tweet quoted -- and my complaint is really small. He seems to dance around the subject of what bodies and agencies actually perform the actions which is just soft at this point in the argument, but actually answering the question brings up questions I don't know can be answered:
* If the CIA saw the need, saw the weakness, and the director at the Russia Desk approved a black-op, then technically no one authorized such an attack.
* If Davos has sympathetic operatives in any part of the US Intelligence Community then there are far bigger problems than a pipeline to be concerned about, because Davos' plan isn't to hang the US out to dry -- it's to take the US down with them at the slightest hint of anything less than totalitarian success.
But past that point we come to agreement again. Past that point, it's an act of war; not necessarily by the US but a cheque which can only be signed by the US as it were. "The mouth writing cheques that the ass can't cash."
There's a lot in here worth reading though for everyone; it ties a lot of the geopol together quite nicely for those seeing it as a two-player game. Even I've made that mistake at times.
