><i>This image has a much higher definition than anything the US has admitted to in the past. Other nations probably guessed that the US has advanced satellite imaging, but now they no longer need to guess.</i><p>I think they still have to keep guessing, and here's why:<p>><i>The satellites are believed to have been the source of some imagery of the Soviet Union and China made public in 1997; images of Sudan and Afghanistan made public in 1998 related to the response to the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings;[citation needed] and a 2019 photo, revealed by President Donald Trump, of a failed Iranian rocket launch[10].</i> (Wikipedia)<p>If these things were flying in 1997, presumably what's up there now is even better. That's over 22 years of time for further developments.
Being as the image has had some information blacked out (in the corner) I seriously doubt that Trump snapped a pic on his iPhone and tweeted it from inside the SCIF or whatever. Someone looked at this image and approved releasing it, and I really do hope that person was at least marginally aware of the intelligence aspect (specifically, not Trump)

I have heard him called a "social-engineering genius" (think The Atlantic, 2018) but this is just childish. So much for our intelligence community.
