"What's also impossible to ignore is the fact that, in this new era, our competition is taking place against a backdrop of thick economic interdependence and commercial ties. That has served our countries, our economies, and our world remarkably well - but it has also created strategic dependencies, critical vulnerabilities, and serious risks to our security and prosperity."

This is very true. Economic espionage has ran rampant, and now we can see the effects of that with electric cars for example. As well as how China is piggy backing off of Elon Musk, who is way too friendly with them, and not actually doing anything strategic in the background - like one would hope from somebody so smart - but I digress. Anyway, they're going to use that to further extend their reach, take over markets, and put people in debt traps - which is their main goal and plan for world domination. Of course. Everybody wants to rule the World, some people are just better at it.

Ideally, nations want to be completely self-sufficient, however, it's not very practical and leads to isolation, which is counterproductive for the goal to be in a world that can coexist and cooperate with each other.

I find it funny that burns says: "these countries see little benefit and lots of risk in monogamous geopolitical relationships instead we're likely to see more countries pursue more open relationships than we were accustomed to over several past Cold War decades of unipolarity. And if past is president, we ought to be attentive to rivalries between so-called middle powers - which have often been the match that ignited collisions between major powers."

Precisely, but a little bit of monogamy and loyalty goes a long way. We are indeed entering a realm where relationships are more open and poly. Our friends make friends with our enemies and lest we want to be hypocrites, we can't say much about it.

That doesn't mean that we don't become a little on edge. It's like your girlfriend that is way out of your league talking to her extremely hot ex who seems to have more in common with her.

It's concerning.

However. ...

This can be used to our advantage as long as we're extra friendly with our friends and find a way to get the information we need on our enemies.

I would be in remiss if I were to sit here and say that the entire world is going to join hands in a hippie Love Fest singing kumbaya. That is naive thinking.

But I find it funny because I compare alliances to metaphorical marriages. Even if they are temporary. I still think that the parties involved should show respect to one another, act decently to one another, care about each other, even when they're down, and have a little bit of loyalty and Trust. The basic standard for marriage.

The obvious issue with the NATO ambition is that there will always be little squabbles and inner turmoil among people, in general. We won't be able to stop everybody from fighting anybody else ever again... these things will be a constant inevitability. but by having a family mentality, people are more likely to get over the small s***, and at least that's something.

Example:

Japan and South Korea have their differences, they have some issues that they cannot agree on (for a long time) there are lawsuits involved, and passive aggressive actions, as well as banter. However, for bigger issues, they can absolutely cooperate with one another.

South Korea and Japan need to depend on each other to stand up to aggression by China, and North Korea, and even Russia.

"Advances in computing related technologies - from chips to Quantum to artificial intelligence - are leaving to breakthroughs of remarkable scale and scope. In just a few short months since the first public version of chat GPT debuted last november, we've seen newer models outperform humans and graduate level entrance exams, and an assessment of doctor to Patient engagements in medical training programs.

We see this "hockey stick" trendline time and again, outstripping our expectations, imaginations and capacity to govern the use of enormously powerful technologies - for good or for ill. Nowhere is that more evident than in biotechnology and biomanufacturing - which can unlock extraordinary climate and health solutions and boost our economies, but whose abuse and misuse could lead to catastrophe."

Yes that is true, some people in China already believe that America controls the weather. Some people in America think America controls the weather, and it's part of a depopulation campaign - and climate change is entirely manufactured by man, specifically United States government. Although, it's possible I don't think we're there yet. China has also done extensive research on weather manufacturing. It is quite possible that one day we (humans) will live in a world where we actually need to manually manipulate the weather for survival.

The progression of technology will never slow. The only way to gain a strategic Edge is to continue advancing and evolving our technology. Progression was always designed to speed up over time.

Technology like chat GPT will enable people to become more lazy, less efficient without the assistance of AI, AGI, robotic technologies, autonomy, so on and so forth.

Our machines will become smarter as we become dumber, especially if we don't start doing something about it now.

Perhaps there are some things that should never be created, or goals that should never be accomplished. I still believe that inserting a brain chip might fall under that category. There are many ways to manipulate a brain, and although there are potentially infinite possibilities, not all of them are good and some of the bad implications definitely outweigh the good. Sometimes when embarking on an innovative, creative, groundbreaking, world shaking adventure - you have to step back and consider all of the possibilities of what you're about to do, and think of literally the absolute worst case scenario, and ask yourself: do I really want that much blood on my hands?

"Together, we provided early and accurate warning of the war that was coming - the essential function of any intelligence service. When the president sent me to Moscow before the war, and early November of 2021, I found Putin and his senior advisors unmoved by the clarity of our understanding of what he was planning, convinced that the window was closing for his opportunity to dominate ukraine. I left even more trouble than when I arrived. Good intelligence has helped President Biden mobilize and sustain a strong coalition of countries in support of ukraine. Good intelligence has helped Ukraine defend itself with such remarkable bravery and resolve, and to launch The crucial counteroffensive that is now underway."

Some of us provided a little bit more accurate information than others. I know it was a little difficult and someone like me, who would also put myself in the shoes of Putin and think: 'what would I do' might have overshot some of it, and gave him too much credit.

Good intelligence only gets you so far if your adversary is smarter than you.

I had also found that Putin and his senior advisors as well as the common public of Russia was definitely unmoved by the fact that they had lost any element of surprise. They seemed disinterested in the fact that people already knew their plans ahead of time. They seemed confident that they would be able to achieve their goals right in front of everybody. However, if they paid attention, they would know that would never be the case.

Side note:

Of course the CIA does not want to pass up an opportunity to collect assets, as many as possible, inside of Russia. I am reminded of my decoy plan, which would absolutely work, and be a total mind f***, and just kind of fun to do because of the science involved - but at the current time maybe not so practical. It shares the same problem as the operations that CIA is currently doing. Part of the issue is an ethical one, once an asset is compromised they're basically on their own. It is the agency's job to reassure people that they're doing things in a safe manner, that this is for the benefit of everybody, that they will take every precaution to ensure the safety of the asset the family of the asset, and this will lead to a good outcome.

However, the reality is that it is extremely dangerous and once you start touting your grand plan to start turning Russia on itself so they start eating each other, so to speak, the Russian government becomes increasingly paranoid; this is great when you want to put your enemy off balance, it's a tactic that has been used for a long time and is still effective.

The problem with this is that innocent people will be harassed, detained, possibly tortured, and more restrictions may be put in place so the people have less freedom than when we started this. This is almost the worst case scenario, and should be taken into consideration.

Furthermore, Russians will be less likely to cooperate when they think your only goal is to destroy them and their country.

The ramifications of the government becoming paranoid will make the risk not worth it.

I don't think that it is wise to also use telegram for this operation. When dealing with sensitive Communications you need a secure line, and that is not telegram.

(Not to mention that we have already seen people trying to communicate in code with others who are not accustomed to their varying styles)

((It just doesn't work as well as it should))

Several years ago there were security flaws discovered in telegram - that I'm pretty sure are still an issue. These people are talking to agents over a platform that collects data on you, including your phone number. I don't know why nobody sees the problem with this. I think it's foolish. I think people should have a little more consideration of the potential dangers involved. Even if it doesn't directly affect them.

It's only a matter of time.

Thinking like a hacker -> everything and I mean EVERYTHING can be hacked.

Lol oops...

"We're also in The Mists of the most profound transformation of espionage tradecraft since the cold war. In an era of smart cities and ubiquitous technical surveillance, spying is a formidable challenge. For a CIA officer working overseas in a hostile country, meeting sources who are risking their own safety to provide us information, constant surveillance is a very risky business. But the same technology that sometimes works against us - whether it's mining big data to expose patterns in our activities or massive camera Networks - can also be made to work for us, and against our rivals."

Yeah I had the same idea with China.

Not to mention that smart cities and constant surveillance definitely puts a damper on things, unless you are technologically savvy enough to manipulate feeds, jam signals, and all the other stuff that I know "you're" capable of doing.

There are simple tricks to not be recognized by an f r s. Assets might want to leave their phone at home or with somebody else. Changing your appearance doesn't have to be as complicated as wearing a mask, but that still works.

In most systems, there's always a blind spot.

Some Communications are best in person, best practices would be making up your own cipher and ensuring that you and your asset know the key by heart, and never stray from the code.

Sending a message should be as easy as scribbling a couple numbers on a random wall, moving a plant, writing down a grocery list and dropping the piece of paper accidentally on the street, actually going out and buying certain items.... I mean the list goes on...

There is almost infinite possibilities. The more creative you are, the more successful you can be.

"our adversaries are moving fast to exploit open source information, and we have to do it faster and better than they do"

True

You know what else helps?

Feeding them false information and utilizing the magic of misdirection.

** It's a shame everything is so expensive.... If it wasn't, then the military and CIA could use little bug drones to administer medication... Or anti poison.

But that's too James Bond for people anyway.

Still...

Scenario:

There's an agent that has to do a risky mission, we're not sure that the timeframe projected will be accurate. There's a possibility that they may be captured. We assume there's a chance they may be injected with something. So we had them leave a window open and if they send a certain signal, we know to send in the dragonfly drone that is packing 3CCs of antidote to the poison of choice of our target.

They are to fake being ill while we initiate an extraction plan.

Might have to send in another dragonfly to slow their heart rate for when they play dead.

--> I'm sure it's too James Bond 😂

Kabul --

I suppose it's already bad enough that the CIA takes the blame for creating Isis, and after recent events people are going to wonder if Isis k was created to undermine the Taliban as well as the collect information on other Isis groups.

People already assume that the US military along with intelligence agencies allowed 13 soldiers to die in Afghanistan during the withdrawal in an explosion that was entirely foreseeable.

After hearing testimonies one might draw the conclusion that there was no order to take out the suicide bomber because it needed to happen, in the eyes of the "government".

This is an issue that people are going to have to deal with.

Speaking of decoys and misinformation...

There was once a time I tried to tell North Koreans that if they hit California with a nuclear missile, due to all of the pipes and tunnels, pieces of it would break off causing a mega tsunami that would not only cause destruction to Japan and South Korea but would also cause damage to their own country. It will be the equivalent of throwing a ball at a fragile structure that will break away and be destroyed, and having the ball bounce off and smack you right in the face and knock you on your ass... Then you'll be helpless to do anything about the responding nuclear strike.

Lol good times

SubconsciousErosion_0x0 2y ago

They did lose half of their troops***

They keep adding more - which is normal - yet I'm still right

Weird
