Three months after Russia was supposed to have ran out of missiles they are still raining on the Ukrainians every night without interruption. I believed western intelligence on Russia and assumed they would have switched to carpet bombing cities by now, but apparently not.⚡️Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry

I find it hilarious how poor western intelligence is. Not just with the missiles, but the whole operation. Nobody seemed to have any idea that Russia was planning on invading the Ukraine right until soldiers were on the border. A month before the war you had a senior NATO commander caught on video talking about how Russia can be an ally against China.
This is the biggest intelligence failure since 9/11. In fact it's probably worse as Islamic terrorism was a peripheral threat back then. Russia and China shoulld be bread and butter for the CIA.
I can bet despite this incompetency no heads will roll, in fact the incompetence will be rewarded. The CIA will probably have their $50 billion budget increased.
And when there are smart people utilizing this power to leverage correct monetary policy Russian economy/ruble got even stronger!
