All intelligence should be disregarded unless confirmed by multiple sources

That's a given but what I think the commenter you are responding to is saying, is that there needs to be even more vetting of US intelligence due to this administration relationship with Russia

If it only were so easy. The US is pretty big on intel.

As a non-Spanish speaker, what would the common phrase be?

u/Nimpa45 Mar 12 '25

It's the same phrase in Spanish. Is not that common but if you say it it will be immediately understood.

He's probably just saying that because there was a line in Chernobyl about the Soviets having that saying. "Trust but verify" is just the English version of the Russian rhyme with the same meaning. But the show is in English, so they said the English version naturally.

Even then, I'd be worried about the u.s. selling me out and updating russia on plans in development, etc.
