Military Intelligence - The ultimate oxymoron at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill.

We are for a strong military that is:

We are not for stupidity. Too much of what the military does falls outside of these bounds, and as much as we love the military - they must be called out for it.

So on the one hand Kirby previously called the report "not accurate" - but on the other this constitutes a tacit White House acknowledgement that China does indeed have a base of intelligence-collecting operations out of Cuba, the latter which is Washington's biggest enemy and rival in the Western hemisphere going back to the Cold War era.

This goes way beyond a few small Chinese 'spy' balloons floating over North America, given that as the initial WSJ report detailed, Beijing and Havana are negotiating a deal worth "several billion dollars" for China to establish a cutting-edge intelligence base on the island, which means China would gain an edge in sweeping up communications of US military bases across southeast United States and possibly beyond.
