That of course is a thing, but far from the only task inteligence agencies have. State against state operations are much harder because the oponent has much more resources to play the game and resist and confound your inteligence agency. When will the enemy start a war? What is their readyness level? Which weapon systems are fielded and what are their exact capabilities? Who is working on technologies we do not have counters yet and where are they in development? If we do this what will they do? How do they think? What do they believe about our capabilities and intentions? And those are just the questions on strategic level. On a lower tactical level you would love to know where their nuclear armed submarines are, which silos are filled, and where exactly are the nuclear warheads in a shell game. You would also want to know where the attention of their counter espionage people is, and what are their institutional blind spots. About the information you gained, which one is true and which one is a deliberate lie fed to you? These are all things well funded entities with state level resources are trying to hide from your inteligence agencies. > Even if people with reliable supernatural powers exist, their scarcity and probable limitations … Idk how we can know that. Based on what we know about the world this capability does not exists. If it does exists, how can we say anything about its rarity and limitations? Maybe some agency employs armies of “remote sensing” people. Maybe they perfected the techniques to the point where it is more accurate than a video camera. Do i think any of this is likely? I don’t. What i think is likely is that the whole thing is deliberate misinformation created to cause or excarbarate resource misallocation in rival inteligence agencies. All i say is that I don’t think we can confidently say anything about its limitations if it exists.
