Why Russia’s Vast Security Services Fell Short on Deadly Attack

The factors behind the failure to prevent a terrorist attack include a distrust of foreign intelligence, a focus on Ukraine and a distracting political crackdown at home.

The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented U.S. officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.

    Lmao waste your time? You're on a shitposting forum, you're doing that yourself.

    I didn't pose any hypotheticals, I pointed out that your weepy moralizing over the idea of endangering spies is ludicrous.

      No, you tried shifting the discussion and when I told you what was being discussed, you simply said you're uninterested.

      First, you're taking the U.S. at its word that there was anyone on its side in real danger.

      No I'm not. I never claimed anyone was in danger.

      Second, it's laughable to take the premise of additional intelligence possibly endangering some spy and turning that into "this would kill all U.S. spies."

      Yeah it is and nobody did. I certainly didnt.
