I’m not surprised, given that the SEE EYE EH has repeatedly demonstrated its inability to accurately predict potential threats to the United States. Its assessments have been far from stellar. It also seems clear that this administration currently views almost everything as a threat to U.S. national security — including its own allies and partners.

Do they often publicize the threats that are predicted and handled? I can’t say for certain, but it seems like the old adage about IT.

The US has 17 other intelligence agencies. I also don't think you have a clear picture of what any of them may or may not be doing.

Also furniture, apparently. And escalators.

At the same time there are 800 generals being recalled to the states to have an in-person meeting with the secretary of defence in the same location when they could just as easily use their encrypted video conferencing as per usual. Meeting like that in the same location is very risky. Perhaps she was told to reduce intelligence signalling. Let's wait and see if more signals are muted in the coming days.

I'll go ahead and propose "Night of the Rubber Knives" for whatever Hicseth has in mind. Hopefully his impending purge won't play out the way he thinks it will.

At this point, the future threats pale in comparison to the current one - systematic destruction of the United States by a russian agent.

A bit ambiguous: are you referring to Trump, Gabbard, or one of the others?
