US spies and diplomats are suggesting a Trump administration cover-up after officials in Cuba, Russia, and China got mysteriously sick
US spies and diplomats are suggesting a cover-up by President Donald Trumps administration, saying it refused to properly investigate a mysterious illness that had affected officials in Cuba, China, and Russia, according to The New York Times.
In 2016, US and Canadian diplomats in Cuba started hearing strange sounds and later reporting symptoms like nerve damage and experiencing headaches. Doctors said they were caused by mild traumatic brain injuries.
In 2018, several US embassy workers in Guangzhou, China, also said they heard mysterious sounds, had similar symptoms, and were then diagnosed with brain injuries.
The Times reported on Monday that some senior CIA officers who visited foreign stations, including in Moscow, experienced similar symptoms, but the agency is not convinced that an attack took place.
The cause of the illnesses is not fully clear, but subsequent studies have found that microwave radiation was the main suspect. According to The Times, some government scientists think a physiological illness could be the cause instead.

Of course the Trump administration isn't doing anything about Russia. If they're not going to do anything about Putin's bounties on American military personnel in Afghanistan, they're sure not going to do anything about attacks on embassy personnel. Does it make Trump look weak? Sure, but nobody in the media is going to bring it up; Trump might point his stubby little finger at them.

And I'm betting Russia.
