The article published by the Wall Street Journal two weeks ago suggests a failure on the part of American intelligence on the occasion of the Russian military operation on Crimea. According to the journalist, in the hours before the Russian troops that the military-political Summit in Moscow would be able to hide all their communications without the interception of American intelligence which, despite having witnessed the crowding of units on the border with Ukraine (capacity) using satellite measurements, it would not, however, been able to define in advance the intention of Moscows troops to take control of the region. The story also seems to be noted a well orchestrated plan of Moscow, before square riots, aimed at creating a situation of conflict in order to proceed with the coup on Crimea, through a series of choices made in the peninsula for a long time. Regardless of the correctness of this hypothesis is the fact that, according to the Wall Street Journal, the attack on the Crimea could be included in the category of surprise attacks and intelligence failures. The secret service in Washington would not be able to effectively increase the Sigint and Imint and cover were deceived of denial and deception of the Russians. Which – I add – are certainly not latecomers on the matter (maskirovka docet). In short, another nice case study in the field of intelligence failures but not only. It should be noted that after so long within the strategic NATO circles back to talk seriously to warnings on surprise attacks and not just on terrorist attacks. PS there would, moreover, to do a serious analysis on the role of social media as a tool of early warning and their potential vulnerability to denial & deception. online.wsj/news/articles/SB10001424052702304026304579453331966405354 (Translated by Bing)
