After weeks of US-generated war fever, European officials are finally fed up.
WashPost reports that "high-level European officials have expressed frustration that the United States had not shared the intelligence that led it to surmise Russia’s intentions with such certainty."

While Biden claims US intel has discovered that Russia plans to invade Ukraine, European officials "have not seen direct evidence."
“[W]e have no clear evidence ourselves that Putin has made up his mind and we have not seen anything that would suggest otherwise," one says.

EU officials say they've "been told little about [US] sources and methods... limiting their capacity to make independent decisions about how much weight to give statements from Biden that Putin has made a decision to attack."
If only US media had such independent standards.

Speaking of lapdogs, guess who isn't objecting to evidence-free US intelligence claims about a pending Russian invasion?
The reliable British, who "have not been among those making such complaints." Of course not. Lackeys don't complain, they follow orders.

Back to that evidence-free US intel. It allegedly "came from an order given to Russian subordinates to proceed with a full-scale attack," and was obtained amid "steps to implement it."
So where's the attack? And what "steps" were taken to implement it? Should be easy to prove.

Kudos to the Washington Post for at least having non-Biden admin approved sources. On Ukraine, the New York Times has been an exclusive conveyer belt for NATO propaganda.
Biden can't show us any evidence of their Russia claims, but surely they can share something with their European allies, right?
Nope. Washington Post reports that the US intel shared with allies "has not gone far beyond what" is being said "publicly at the White House podium."

Nonetheless, one European ambassador (I'm betting from the UK) is a happy customer: "I’ve told my colleagues, these are the main guys, and they’re consulting with us."
Sure, they won't share any intelligence, but the "main guys" in Washington are "consulting with us."
