Ok, one last time. My post simply points to multiple US agencies within the last 18 hours confirming US Intel helped locate and confirm the location of the Moskva to which Ukraine acted upon by sinking it. I have a gut feeling this will really piss Putin off, on top of all his previous butt hurt 'they're picking on us' rants.
My post had nothing to do with nor did I mention any personal criteria regarding this particular escalation as I see it.

Putin used NATO expansion as a pretext for invading Ukraine, wheras if he really thought NATO had any teeth he would have been scared off. If he'd thought US / NATO intelligence would cause him to lose the MOSKVA he would have thought twice.

So you feel that intel for defence is OK, but intel to assist in attacking is not .... but on what criteria do you differ between defending against a war ship and attacking a war ship?
