I don’t trust the US on anything. I won’t refuse the intel, but if not corroborrated with NATO, I would assume Trump and Putin to be collaborating on fictional targets meant to waste limited long range strike capabilities.
Big energy infrastructure doesn’t move around much; you can validate it using commercial satellite images and open-source intelligence, and if it comes with the promised long-range missiles, it’s a very big deal.
Then what Intel were the Americans providing in the first place?
Situational data and secret stockpiles and facilities. That’s the type of data the US could help with.
Can it be corroborated with NATO? I would like to think yes, as its purpose was defence against Russia, but I don’t really know.
What is easy to validate can be time-consuming to figure out in the first place. Plus per the article, the US will provide weapons capable of hitting the facilities.
