Why does anyone listen/believe what the Intelligence(?) Community claims.
My question is why is no one challenging the IC for not knowing how badly the Russian Army would perform in this action and why did the IC not know the problem with tires/fuel, poor training of conscripts and general bad management by Russian commanders. Why are we paying Billions for inaccurate information. Isn’t this what they are supposed to provide; accurate assessment of our adversaries capabilities.
I am reminded of the warning Ike gave about the Military-Industrial Complex, who see boogie men everywhere.
The only thing that’s changed in recent years is that we now know for certain how extensive these IC operations have been here in the U.S. all this time.
