All western intelligence has been exposed as corrupt and incompetent with this war. The war on terrorism was plenty of evidence, despite claiming to be great terrorism became a bigger and bigger problem after 9/11.
This war has been proof. Zero intelligence agencies managed to predict the war until troops were on the border ready to go in. Throughout the war they've been content reporting Ukrainian delusions and as truth instead of verifying them. Case in point, the crypto-Turk Onyx who's lists of destroyed "Russian" equipment consists mainly of platforms used by Ukrainians and Russians. Equipment used solely by Russians are pretty much absent, despite their abundance in the field.
Only the French fired their head of intelligence, the rest have had zero accountability for this massive failure.
The funniest thing is had they been more honest people in the west would have still paid attention to Ukraine. Virtually everyone I know stopped caring about the Ukraine war a long time ago. As a topic of interest it died quicker than the Syrian war. Everyone thinks Russia has lost all their tanks and missiles and are now stuck in a stalemate, despite the fact most losses have been to republican and auxillary units. The nuclear threat has been completely downplayed and ignored.
I've said many times the USA today is in exactly the same position as the USSR in the 1980s. The government is geriatric and disconnected from the masses of people. Despite massively bloated military spending most of their military platforms are cold war relics. Incompetent and corruption is widespread, it's just called lobbying and "contracting".
