To address thoughtful critiques, "strategic intelligence" cumulatively is a combo of: 1) Intelligence communication; 2) Policymaker inference; 3) Policymaker decision; 4) Policy implementation. The "failure" was in 2, 3, and 4; the culpability rests with one person.

While I agree with the gist of your piece you miss why Trump did not react to the warnings. For 3+ years 'resistance warriors' in those very agencies fought against Trump with the hoaxes of Russiagate and Ukrainegate. It is no wonder that Trump had no trust in their judgment.

as of Feb 29, the CDC stated "at this time, this virus is NOT currently spreading in the community in the United States." Are you saying that Trump should have disbelieved this advice from CDC? https://web.archive.org/web/20200229120328/https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/summary.html …pic.twitter.com/4bqV4PPAFc

No. It is not. This crisis is not a lack of intel. This is pure lack of action, to save MONEY.

But you are using an incorrect definition of intelligence failure here. Intelligence has a function, which did not fail. Policymaking has a function, which did fail. That is a policy failure, not an intelligence failure.

Politicisation of intelligence.
