On what basis?

Might have Something to do with the current US administration tweeting pictures of confidential material in the past, exposing their capabilities to the world. Intelligence community members tend to hold their cards close to their chests.

I mean, do you see any actual moves they’ve made to move away from the US? I don’t. They always make a lot of noise about how this time they’re not going to take the depredations of the US before doing just that.

		I'm flattered that you think that the intelligence agencies of the four other "eyes", Australia, Canada, New Zealand; would tell me their moves, or that I'd hear about it, but honestly, I'm not that important. Seriously though, what are you expecting to hear? For the CSIS to post to Twitter what they're hiding from the CIA, as if the CIA hasn't heard of Twitter or something? Or for the GCSB to broadcast which billionaires are making bunkers in Hammer Springs to /r/secretbillionairebunkers like someone is wrong on WarThunder? What I'm saying is the spooks of their respective countries are just gonna keep a bit more to themselves and not tell the US because the think someone in the current US administration is going to leak it, putting their assets at risk. The respective secret agencies haven't put out coordinated press releases saying they're doing this or gone on the talk show tour to talk about it, so I have no proof, but it seems quite possible to me that they are.
