“Eight decades after the ‘Anglosphere’ powers (the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) codified their World War intelligence sharing protocols in the 1946 UKUSA Agreement, the ‘Five Eyes’ alliance — named for a ‘AUS/CAN/NZ/UK/US Eyes Only’ classified information designation — may finally find itself retired. In early March, the Trump administration ‘paused’ sharing intelligence with Ukraine, also forbidding the four other partners from passing along US-gathered intel. Rumor has it that Trump may also want the Canadian ‘eye’ plucked out as one of his trade war tantrums. That, along with Trump’s recent ‘pro-Russia’ lean, has the other four ‘eyes’ considering a separate intelligence-sharing apparatus minus the US. … Americans would benefit from the US regime’s withdrawal or expulsion, for several reasons.” (03/11/25)
