Definitely worth a read now that even they admit it. It somehow tries to make the CIA the good guys that wanted to prevent it all, for some reason.

"An attack of this scale is a sufficient reason to trigger the collective defense clause of NATO, but our critical infrastructure was blown up by a country that we support with massive weapons shipments and billions in cash," said a senior German official familiar with the probe.

Days after the attack, in October 2022, Germany’s foreign secret service received a second tipoff about the Ukrainian plot from the CIA, which again passed on a report by the Dutch military intelligence agency MIVD. It offered a detailed account of the attack, including the type of boat used and the possible route taken by the crew, according to German and Dutch officials.

Oh ya the CIA totally didn't plan it. They just caught wind of it and asked for the plug to be pulled but only told foreign interference agencies afterwards.

It seems these European intel agencies are awfully disorganized and disunited. Maybe they should all officially become subsidiaries of the CIA, that'll help protect Europe. \s
