Worst Intel Failure Since WW2 - by Mark Wauck
Worst Intel Failure Since WW2 - by Mark
- "...What did this operation in the end achieve?
"It produced a certain amount of intelligence--which turned out to be wrong...
- It caused anger in Russia and was undoubtedly seen by Russians as confirming that the situation in Ukraine was a threat to themselves.
- It resulted in various James Bond type activities which the Americans say they disapprove of.
But what in the end was achieved?
The big story of this entire conflict, the single biggest story, is the extent to which the United States Intelligence Community got Russia completely wrong.
- They massively underestimated the size, diversity, sophistication, and flexibility of the Russian economy.
- As a result they launched an economic war against Russia which has failed utterly.
- They completely underestimated the resilience of the Russian military and
- the solidity of Putin's government...

FBI gets absolutely torched online over image of white women on report about retail theft rings | Blaze Media:
A social media post from the FBI was roundly mocked and ridiculed online after it added an image of white women to a report about retail theft rings in the U.S.
