The UnWoke Show Season 4, Episode 190: "The FBI Is Working With China and Russia. Here’s Why!"

The FBI is working with China and Russia. Under FBI Director Kash Patel, the bureau has expanded law-enforcement cooperation with two of America's biggest geopolitical adversaries, including efforts targeting cyber fraud, fentanyl trafficking, child exploitation, fugitives, and international criminal organizations. Supporters call it pragmatic law enforcement. If criminals operate across borders, American investigators sometimes need help from governments they don't trust. But critics see a dangerous counterintelligence gamble. In this episode of The UnWoke Show, we examine what the FBI is actually doing, what America could gain from these partnerships, what China and Russia might gain in return, and where the line between cooperation and national-security risk should be drawn. Can America work with its enemies without empowering them? And who makes sure the FBI doesn't cross the line?   Show Notes https://www.reuters.com/world/china/under-patel-fbi-forges-unprecedented-law-enforcement-ties-with-china-russia-2026-08-05/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://www.reddit.com/r/geopolitics/comments/1vg78iw/under_patel_fbi_forges_unprecedented_law/ https://ground.news/article/under-patel-fbi-forges-unprecedented-law-enforcement-ties-with-china-russia   Social Media https://x.com/UnWokeTheShow https://bsky.app/profile/theunwokeshow.bsky.social https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61591818194574   Podcast links https://theunwokeshow.podbean.com/ https://open.spotify.com/show/27rkGZYhccSF8stUzzGxaI https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-unwoke-show/id1686015698\ https://goodpods.com/podcasts/the-unwoke-show-309196 https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnWokeShow/videos?app=desktop   Feedback [email protected]
