What did the CIA or NSA been doing in the mean time with all that budget ... aren't they supposed to be informed of all things affecting national security around the globe ???.
Did they really expect that an adversarial superpower would admit to the scale of their problem ... the US should have been way better prepared.
- wstuartcl 7y agoI am sure they did provide detailed analysis, the issue is we have a president that is not intellectually curious or concerned with information -- instead he believes in his "gut feelings" over all else (and has said as much when talking about how he views intelligence services).
- tibbydudeza 7y agoAlso the political cronies with no clue appointed after the good people with all the experience left because they disagreed.
- steve_adams_86 7y agoI wondered about this. I've started to think they probably see a lot of threats, tell people, and it's more or less dismissed if it's not immediately clear why it's a threat.
