FWIW at this point I think everyone understands that the U.S. is giving Ukraine literally everything except American soldiers.  For some reason no one raised a fuss about weapons transfers but somehow intelligence is beyond the pale.  What’s the difference?[/quote]

From the piece: (it's not the fact that intelligence is being provided - it is the fact that our people are boasting about it)

Vladimir Putin surely has no illusions about how much the U.S. and NATO are arming Ukraine with material and intelligence, but when American officials start to brag in public about playing a role in killing Russian generals and sinking the Russian flagship, killing many sailors, we could be creating an opening for Putin to respond in ways that could dangerously widen this conflict — and drag the U.S. in deeper than it wants to be.

It is doubly dangerous, senior U.S. officials say, because it is increasingly obvious to them that Putin’s behavior is not as predictable as it has been in the past. And Putin is running out of options for some kind of face-saving success on the ground — or even a face-saving off ramp.

Exactly, it is so reckless how the Biden administration is openly bragging about this stuff, I would have thought they would have had more discipline. Provoking Russia like this is just straight up dumb. Putin won’t back down and we need to give him an off ramp while at the same time making him realize that he miscalculated and punish him enough to deter future invasions. Pushing for unconditional victory against Russia is suicidal.[/quote]
