Just as an aside. It seems to me, that since that long-ago affair with Kim Philby and the other traitors, that British intel/counter-intel became and remained quite mediocre.
Not that we didn't have problems in the USA ... and how. People like John Walker should have been publicly drawn and quartered, and I am NOT exaggerating.
German intel has been a joke forever. They've been penetrated so much their security apparatus doesn't know up from down (and it took effort to express that thought without resort to profanity).
France ? Oh yeah, the guys who had so much sympathy for the Serbs in the Balkan wars when they were committing crimes against humanity ... with Trump in the WH, they're probably focused on Washington now instead of asking why fully ten per cent of their army has to be dedicated to internal security
No wonder so many people in the West today act in treasonous ways. After all, there are no obvious consequences for doing so.
