quote:Define limited success. From what I've read we whiffed on the Berlin Wall coming down. We whiffed on the Bosnian conflict. Did we foresee the Russian invasion of Georgia or the annexation of Crimea and if so was there anything we could have done to influence these events? If I had to guess our intel agencies were also probably shocked about BREXIT so I'm not so sure we've got Western Europe down either.
We've also had limited success with Slavs and other central and Eastern Euros and East Asians.

Historically speaking, we've whiffed on almost every major geo-political and/or action against us. From Pearl Harbor to 9/11, our intelligence services, whether within the military or outside DoD, continually miss. Because our leadership changes so radically, we never conduct an effective review/strategy overhaul that's not upended itself due to some new event.
