How the CIA is Losing the War for Ukraine

                                                     How the CIA is Losing the War for Ukraine

The situation in Ukraine is complex, and opinions on the effectiveness of the CIA and other intelligence agencies has proven to be a disaster. In the same way the CIA floundered spectacularly in Venezuela, Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, the CIA is now failing miserably in Ukraine.

The CIA has bit off more than it can chew in taking on President Trump. The CIA colluded with Christopher Steele who it used as a cutout to collude with Russian intelligence services in an attempt to take down Trump. There was nothing Steele would do without CIA approval. The CIA then colluded with Stephan Halper, code name The Walrus, as it framed George Popadopoulos and used Israeli intelligence to give Popadopoulos $10,000 minutes before he hopped on a plane from London to New York where the FBI was waiting hoping Papadopoulos would bring the $10,000 across international borders so they could charge him with more false and highly contrived charges.

The CIA then used corrupt politically appointed operatives within the agency to interfere with the 2020 election to sign letters saying Hunter Biden’s laptop was a Russian intelligence operation to prevent Trump from exposing Biden’s crimes. It then set its sights on Carter Page, a naval intelligence officer and Annapolis graduate who actually had worked with the CIA to prevent Russian espionage, and attempted to frame him and then used him as the basis for spying on the entire Trump campaign. The CIA then used Link academic administrator and intelligence freelancer Joseph Mifsud to attempt to sully Popadopoulos by providing him with information regarding Russia controlling Hillary Clinton, hoping they could then use Popadopoulos to ensnare Trump. The CIA failed miserably at that also and it seems the intelligence community, who Chuck Shumer bragged had 8 days from Sunday to get back Trump, now is now cowering in fear as Trump will soon have the power to terminate, with extreme prejudice, the security clearance of all intelligence and law enforcement officials including Merrick Garland, Comey, Strock, Page, Brennan, Hayden, Pompeo, Haspal, Lynch, Sally Quillian Yates, and the 51 US intelligence operatives who all knowingly lied and claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation instead of the actual treasure trove of Biden corruption and influence peddling the DOJ and FBI corruptly hid from the American people so the could let the statute of limitations save Hunter and Joe Biden from decades in prison.

This same intelligence community worked to have Trump impeached because he spoke with Ukraine’s undemocratic leader who is currently sacrificing the blood of Ukrainians in exchange for the steady infusion of hundreds of billions of dollars that goes to fund Ukraine’s military payroll, its political retirees, its current corrupt government, and the fascist groups that all have a chokehold on Zelenski. Trump stated he will end the waar in 24 hours, and he undoubtedly has the power and approval of the American people to do just that.

Just as the CIA was unable to see the collapse of the USSR, it is equally blind to the realities of the Ukraine war and its understanding of events is distorted by its inability to recognize and admit that it sold Ukraine down the river in an absurd hope to weaken Russia. Just as the US spent $500 million to raise a Syrian resistance force of “four or five” as admitted by General Lloyd Austin to the Senate Armed Services Committee, it seems it has no better ability to understand what is happening in Ukraine after focusing on trying to overthrow Trump for the last 9 years. The CIA has become the purveyor of Unknown Unknowns as its intelligence gaps threaten US security as it turns into the new Praetorian Guard.

US intelligence services mocked Putin and Russia thinking this would change battlefield reality, but Russia has adapted its strategies in response to Western intelligence, making it more challenging for the CIA to provide accurate predictions or actionable insights. The CIA totally underestimated the Russian ability to use real-time surveillance tied to offensive operations to crush the Ukrainian military that had once succeeded spectacularly in slaughtering unarmed Russian-Ukranian women and children in the Donbass from 2014 until the Russian special military operation. A US Army general had once bemoaned the fact that the US now spends the equivalent of 5 CIA budgets on intelligence contractors who had never once provided him with one single bit of actionable intelligence in a 20-year war in Afghanistan that the US lost.

The CIA has shown itself to be owned by the Democratic political establishment and the Neocons and Neolibs. Its strategy is as incoherent as Joe Biden explaining how he had 50 boxes of top secret intelligence documents from the time he was a senator and vice president while attempting to try to prosecute Trump, who had the ability to declassify and maintain documents without deference to any person or agency inside the US government, let alone a TDS addled librarian. Biden is as lame a duck as a Mallard with a pound of shotgun lead setting in its belly and the CIA is like a small child running around terrified that the adults will soon be home. Trump will have no commitment to the US establishment and the intelligence community and Zelensky would be best served seeking asylum in another corrupt country where he might buy his safety with the billions of dollars he skimmed off of US largesse

The US establishment’s spread of misinformation through a media indentured to the US establishment and CIA, has proven it can obscure genuine intelligence efforts in exchange for a media campaign of propaganda and disinformation directed against the American people. The CIA hoped it could generate support for a forever war by making it hard for Americans to discern the truth about the conflict and the sentiments of both the US and Ukrainian people. Those with understanding knew all along that all the NYT, WSJ, CNN, and MSNBC propaganda was never going to be enough to leverage the population’s support for the most corrupt and fascist regime in Europe.

Critics may argue that a lack of long-term strategic planning has hindered the effectiveness of intelligence operations in supporting Ukraine’s defense. These points represent a viewpoint in a larger debate about intelligence, military strategy, and the dynamics of international relations in the context of the Ukraine conflict. A more important issue Americans need to raise is whether Russia has legitimate national security concerns and whether Americans want to have Putin arm enemies of the US in the manner the US armed Ukrainian nazis to be enemies of Russia.
