A very long (and very good) read by Volkskrant journalists Ben Meindertsma en @npub1y7x5y... about the world of #Intelligence services in the months before #Russia invaded #Ukraine.

#USA warned of an approaching invasion, #Europe did not believe them because they lied about Irak in 2003.

The article reads like a thriller, and the subtitle sums it up: »What a fuck-up«
